No, you can bring your food/drink in bags and transfer onto ice in the boat coolers when you arrive. There is limited space on a bay boat, so we ask you leave coolers in your vehicle. Having a cooler can be useful! After the Captain filets your keeper fish, you can use your cooler to transport the meat to your home.

Departure times may be flexible, depending on the type of trip you are booking and the season. Captain Jarrod can assist you in deciding your departure time while you're planning your trip.

Once you've decided on the date(s) and type(s) of trip you’d like, you can call Captain Jarrod at 656.242.7172 for availability. Please text or leave a message, if the Captain doesn’t answer. He might be on the water and will respond when back on land. A $150 deposit is required at the time of booking to hold your date/trip

• Cash is the prefer payment method! 
• If you wish to pay by credit card there will be a fee of up to 3% charged. 
• Aquatic Escapes also excepts Venmo, Zelle or Cashapp payments, without a 3% fee.

Please note, your trip must be paid in full prior to departure. If balance is due on the day of your trip, please pay Captain Jarrod in cash when you arrive at the dock.

Our preparation for your trip begins several days prior and includes rigging tackle, fueling, setting live bait traps and netting bait, which is why we ask for at least 4 days cancellation notice, inclement weather being the exception. 

In the event you need to cancel your charter, our policy is:

• If you cancel more than 96 hours out, you will receive your entire deposit refunded or trip rescheduled.
• If you cancel within 48-96 hours, you will get back 50% of your deposit. 
• If you cancel within 48 or are a No-Show, you will forfeit your deposit.

If for some reason the Captain must cancel or there is inclement weather, we will work with you to reschedule or provide a full refund of deposit.

Yes, you can keep your catch as long as you stay within legal size and bag limits on all species, deemed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
