BEFORE YOU BOOK.

Every trip leaves from and returns to the barn — our home slip at Pensacola Marine Center, 700 Myrick Street, Pensacola, FL 32505, on the protected channels of Bayou Chico. Free parking on site; arrive 15 minutes early.

Sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, a hat, snacks and drinks (small cooler welcome — cans over glass), and a cooler in your car for fillets. Wear deck shoes or sneakers, not flip-flops.

No. The boat's charter licenses cover everyone aboard, including Gulf reef-fish coverage. Bring nothing but yourself.

Yes — the Game Fish 27 has an onboard restroom (a proper porcelain head), plus restrooms at the marina before we leave.

It's our specialty. We bait hooks, net fish, and coach every cast. Life jackets for all sizes are aboard, and kids under 6 wear them underway per federal boating rules.

Cans are fine in moderation — no glass. Safety first: the captain's word is final.

Safety calls belong to the captain. If we cancel for weather, you choose: reschedule or refund. Hurricane season runs June–November and we monitor it constantly.

The Game Fish 27 carries all federally required safety gear — life jackets in all sizes, VHF radio, flares, first aid — and the crew is CPR-trained. The boat is licensed and insured.

The northern Gulf is usually calm in summer mornings, and we pick days carefully. If you're prone to motion sickness, take your preferred remedy the night before — and tell the captain, we'll keep you in the smoothest water possible.

We do everything we can to accommodate. The marina has dock access, but boarding requires a step — call 850-619-5245 before booking and we'll plan the safest setup for your crew.
