Do I need to purchase a fishing license?

What do I need to bring with me?
Sunscreen, drinks & snacks, if you so desire. Leave the rest up to Captain Billy and his crew!

What time do we depart?
All charters leave promptly at 7am to ensure a full day of fishing from C-Quarters Marina in Carrabelle, FL.

Who cleans the fish that are caught?
During most of the charter season, C-Quarters Marina will have people available to clean the fish that are caught during the charter.

Do I need to bring any rods or tackle?
No, Captain Billy will have all the rods and tackle needed for your day of deep sea fishing.
