Your Adventure Guide: What’s Included & What to Bring

To ensure your day on the water is as smooth as possible, Captain Jonathan handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on the fishing. Here is a detailed breakdown of what to expect when you step aboard Lazy Boy Charter.

What’s Included in Your Trip

We believe in a "show up and fish" experience. Your booking fee covers all the essentials required for a successful day in the Florida Keys.

Licensing & Permits: No need to buy a separate Florida saltwater fishing license; you are fully covered under our vessel’s commercial permit.

Top-Tier Gear: We provide high-quality rods, reels, and all the tackle (hooks, leaders, and weights) suited for your specific target species.

Bait & Lures: Whether we’re using live bait for Snook or specialized lures for Yellowtail, all bait is included and rigged by the Captain.

Catch Cleaning & Filleting: At the end of the day, Captain Jonathan will professionally clean and bag your catch so it’s ready for the kitchen.

Cooler & Ice: We provide plenty of ice and a dedicated cooler to keep your catches fresh and your personal drinks cold.

Safety Equipment: Our 17' Hoog is fully equipped with USCG-approved life jackets (including sizes for children and toddlers) and all necessary safety gear.

What You Should Bring

While we provide the tools, a few personal items will make your day much more comfortable under the Florida sun.

1. Sun Protection (Essential)

The reflection off the water can be intense.

Polarized Sunglasses: These are a "must-have" to see through the surface glare and spot fish in the shallows.

Sunscreen: Please bring non-spray (lotion) sunscreen. Spray-on versions can make the deck slippery and may damage the boat's finish.

Hat & Protective Clothing: A wide-brimmed hat and lightweight, long-sleeve performance shirts (UPF rated) are highly recommended.

2. Food & Drink

Your Favorite Refreshments: We provide water and ice, but feel free to bring sodas, Gatorade, or other preferred drinks.

Lunch & Snacks: For longer trips, pack sandwiches, wraps, or easy-to-eat snacks like granola bars and fruit.

Alcohol Policy: Moderate amounts of beer or wine are welcome. However, we strictly prohibit hard liquor and glass bottles for safety reasons.

3. Personal Items

Footwear: Wear non-marking, rubber-soled deck shoes or sandals. Please avoid black-soled shoes that scuff the deck.

Camera/Phone: You’ll want to capture those "first catch" moments and the stunning Islamorada scenery.

Small Dry Bag: Great for keeping your keys, wallet, and phone dry while on the move.

Motion Sickness Meds: If you are prone to seasickness, we recommend taking your preferred medication about an hour before we leave the dock.

Pro-Tip for Your Catch

If you plan on taking your fillets home, we recommend leaving a travel cooler in your vehicle. Once we clean your fish at the dock, you can transfer them to your personal cooler for the drive home!

DEPOSIT: A deposit is required for all bookings and will be applied at checkout

BALANCE: The remaining balance is due on the trip date as either Credit or Cash.

GUEST CANCELLATION: In the event that you must cancel your booking, you must do so 14 days prior to your trip date to receive a refund on your deposit. Rescheduling is encouraged and dependent on guide availability.

GUIDE CANCELLATION: In the rare event that your guide must cancel due to inclement weather, health, or equipment issues, you will have the option to reschedule your charter for a later date or receive a refund on your deposit.

TIPPING: Tips to your guide are greatly appreciated for your quality trip.
