What Do You Bring on a Fishing Charter?
The most important part of fishing is being prepared. So be sure to bring the following items with you on your fishing charter:
Weather Protection - Items such as sunscreen, lip balm, sunglasses, hats, and waterproof clothing are a must on all fishing trips but especially on large boat charters.
Clothing - Layers are the best way to go when packing for a fishing trip. That means you should bring a windbreaker jacket, shorts, a lightweight shirt, gloves, light-colored clothing, and non-slip shoes.
Snack and Drinks - Water and other light snacks.
Pharmaceuticals - If you’ve never been on the water before, bring sea sickness medication along with bug spray and hand sanitizer.
Storage - A backpack is a great way to keep everything together. Also bring a cooler, a drinking bottle, and a waterproof bag for electronics.
Additional Essentials - Remember to pack a camera, towel, your phone, and your personal ID.
