We want to make sure you have the most enjoyable trip possible. We recommend you consider bringing the following items.
-
•Camera
We always capture a shot or two of our trips but this will be an experience of a lifetime and we are sure you will want some pictures to remember it by after your catch has been eaten.
-
•Warm Clothes/Rain Gear
As with all recreational plans it is generally best to check the weather forecast a day in advance. The Challenger II provides a warm dry cabin, however you can't catch fish from inside the cabin. The Challenger III does not have an inside cabin.

•Soft Soled/Non-Slip Shoes
We ask you wear these for your own benefit. Occasionally boat decks get wet and can become slippery. Boat or Tennis shoe can assist in preventing slipping.

We have coolers on board to keep your catch on ice during the charter. You will want to have a cooler available to carry your fish home in. Fish cleaning is available on the boat and we will bag your catch.
