Common Questions about Fishing Charters in Marathon

Do I need to purchase a fishing license?

No, you do not need to purchase a separate fishing license. Your fishing license is covered under the captain’s license and is included in the cost of the charter.

How many people can join a fishing charter?

Most fishing charters have a maximum capacity of six passengers per boat, in accordance with U.S. Coast Guard regulations. This limit includes all individuals on board, regardless of whether they are fishing.

What should I pack on a fishing charter?

It’s recommended to bring personal items such as sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, beverages, snacks or lunch, and a camera to capture your catch. Most charters provide fishing licenses, bait, tackle, rods, reels, and coolers with ice. Don’t forget medication for sea sickness if you’re not used to the water. 

Is gratuity included in the charter cost?

Gratuity is typically not included in the charter cost. A customary tip is around 20% of the charter price, which is usually shared between the captain and the mate.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Charter captains closely monitor weather conditions to ensure safety. If the weather is deemed unsafe or unfavorable for fishing, the captain may decide to cancel or reschedule the trip. In such cases, policies vary by charter, but many offer options to reschedule or provide refunds. It’s advisable to check the specific cancellation and refund policies of the charter service you choose.
