A. We restrict the number of fisherman to 65 to ensure everyone has enough room to fish and be comfortable. Although reservations are not required, we strongly recommend you make a reservation to secure your spot, as the boat fills quickly.

A. The boat goes out approximately 5 to 14 miles into the Atlantic Ocean.
