🎣 Alcohol on Board

Can we bring alcohol on the boat?

Yes! You’re welcome to bring your own alcohol on most of our charters. We allow beer, wine, and canned cocktails. Please keep it casual — no glass bottles or kegs.

Is hard liquor allowed?

Generally, no hard liquor (like whiskey, vodka, rum, or tequila) is allowed unless approved in advance by the captain. We want everyone to stay safe and enjoy the trip without things getting out of hand.

Who can drink alcohol onboard?

Only guests who are 21 years or older can consume alcohol. We may ask for a valid photo ID — no exceptions.

Can we get drunk and party?

Sorry, we don’t offer booze cruises. A few drinks are fine, but we do not tolerate excessive drinking, unsafe behavior, or disrespect toward the crew or other guests. If anyone becomes too intoxicated, the captain may cut the trip short with no refund.

Can I drink while fishing?

Sure — just be smart about it. But please do not handle fishing equipment or help navigate the vessel if you're under the influence. Safety comes first.

What if someone brings illegal drugs?

Absolutely no illegal substances are allowed onboard — period. If this rule is broken, we’ll end the trip immediately and may notify law enforcement. This is a zero-tolerance policy.

Who decides what’s safe?

The captain has final say on all safety matters, including alcohol use. If the weather changes, someone gets rowdy, or safety becomes a concern, they may stop all alcohol consumption or return to shore.

Do I need to sign anything?

Yes — all guests must sign a liability waiver before boarding. This covers general boating safety and acknowledges that you’re drinking at your own risk.

Any tips for drinking responsibly at sea?

Yes! Keep in mind:

• Sun + heat + alcohol = quicker intoxication

• Drink water throughout the trip

• Eat beforehand (or bring snacks)

• Listen to your body and the crew
