FISHING CHARTERS

The Full Day Fishing Charter is approximately a 9 hour day starting at 7:00am and ending about 4:00pm.  Adjustments to that schedule may be available for the asking.  The price for a Full Day Charter is $800 if reservation is made directly with Gettin' There II Charters .  Please see Price Guarantee for Fishing Charters below.

The 3/4 Day Fishing Charter is a 7 hour day starting at 7:00am and ending about 2:00pm.  Adjustments to that schedule may also be available.  The price for a 3/4 Day Charter is $700 if reservation is made directly with Gettin' There II Charters.  Please see Price Guarantee for Fishing Charters below.

The Half Day Fishing Charter is a 5 hour day and can start at any time.  Usually, starting at 7:00am and ending at about noon.  Adjustments to that schedule may also be available.  The price for a Half Day Charter is $600 if reservation is made directly with Gettin' There II Charters.  Please see Price Guarantee for Fishing Charters below.

Tipping of the mate is a normal and long established practice.  The mate works long and hard to cater to your every need.  As a rule, the amount of the tip is comparable to the tip that a restaurant server receives.  15-20% of the charter fee would be considered appropriate.

Beverages and Food Service Option can be available for the charter.  Normally this would include some kind of breakfast snacks, sandwiches or subs for lunch, fruit and snacks, bottled water and soft drinks plus beer (optionally).  The captain would discuss menu preferences in advance.  The price for Beverages and Food Service is the actual cost of the items (receipts will be provided) plus a $50 service fee.  Note:  These items will not be purchased until the day before the charter. However, once purchased, the price for this option, including service fee,  becomes non-refundable.

Price Guarantee for Fishing Charters   Prices are guaranteed only for reservations made less than 90 days in advance. For reservations made more than 90 days in advance, the prices are subject to a rate review because of the volatile fuel prices.  Please call for a detailed explanation of the Price Guarantee.  Remember that there have been no price increases since February 2008.

Reservations

Reservations are suggested as soon as your schedule allows.  If a particular date is very important (such as a birthday or anniversary), your reservation cannot be too soon.  Some charters make them 6 months or more in advance, others try to wait until the last moment.

Regardless of when you make your reservation, try to plan your charter early in your trip in case the weather is not cooperative.  This way you will have the opportunity to re-schedule.

When making a reservation, please provide a means to be contacted while in Florida.  This can be your cell phone or a phone where you are staying,  If that information is not known, please check-in (before 8:30pm) the day before the charter. 

Lastly, please inform Gettin' There II of any medical or special requirements when making the reservation.
