You are booking a private charter with up to four people of your choosing for fishing trips and up to six for river cruises.

Sunscreen (NOT spray sunscreen, it makes the boat very slippery), sunglasses, hat/visor, food/snacks, beverages, dramamine or other seasickness remedies.  Please bring your food and drink in small bags, we will provide space in our coolers.

Summertime can be very hot with little wind, shorts, hat, sunglasses and a light shirt are recommended.  Face buffs are also a great way to keep the sun off.  Afternoon showers may occur so a poncho or light rain jacket isn't a bad idea.  Fall, winter and spring can be cooler in the mornings, so pants and layer shirts with jackets or hoodies.

We provide everything you will need to catch the fish, rods, reels, tackle, bait, chum, ice, fishing licenses, fuel and safety equipment. We also have 2 beanbag chairs for added comfort.

Please do not bring poles, tackle, coolers, spray sunscreen, bait, nets, liquor, glass bottles, red wine, drugs (including Rx'd marijuana products) and weapons.

Only if you want to.  Our Captain will be glad to bait your hook for you if you prefer.

Please do not.  We provide all the quality equipment you need which is suited for the style of fishing of the day.

No, please bring any food and drinks you like, (just not liquor, red wine or glass bottles)  We will always have some bottles of water on hand.

Depends on the trip packageyou select:Half Day (5 Hour) returns at 12pmFull Day (8 Hour) returns at 3pmShark (4 Hour) returns at 11amRiver Cruise departure times can vary so discuss with your captain.

Yes, as long as they are in season and of legal size.  You can take them home whole or Snap Decision can filet them for you.

Sorry, no.  Everyone must remain in the boat until we arrive back to the dock. River cruise guests will obviously be allowed to access islands and restaurants during their excursion.

Fishing charters will be in the ocean and if you are known to suffer from seasickness to the point that you are not having a good time and dramamine does not do the trick, you may want to sit this one out. Be sure to follow all directions on medications and consult your physician. Some people also have luck with with Seaband seasickness wrist acupressure bands.  Also, try to avoid alcohol the evening prior.River cruises are limited to the river which is usually quite calm, so you should be fine.

That will be up to the majority or head of your party.  If the trip is cut short due to seasickness, you will still be charged the full trip price.

No, Snap Decision has all the fishing licenses/permits handled.

Sorry no. At no time are any guests permitted to drive or handle the boat in any manner per Coast Guard regulations. No exceptions.

Fishing charter guests may bring up to 4 people in your party.River cruises can accommodate up to 6 people.

Please be on time.  The boat needs to free up dock space and depart at the planned time.  If you are running a few minutes late, please contact Snap Decision Charters to let them know your estimated time of arrival.  If you are running more than 30 minutes late, you will forfeit your trip and deposit.

That depends on the season. Our waters are abundant with various snapper species, sharks are prevalent, as well as king mackerel, cobia, grouper, mahi and many other fish from small to very large. Regardless, you will have a great time.

Most likely you will not only see dolphin, but giant sea turtles, manatees, various seabirds, huge manta rays and possibly a whale.

The boat is supplied with a private toilet. Due to Coast Guard regulations, it may only be used 3 miles or more from shore. There is a restroom at the dock as well. River cruise passengers that feel the urge can request we pull off and stop at one of the many riverside parks or restaurants to use their facilities.
