Frequently Asked Questions

How will you handle groups and private charter?

If you’re planning to go on a dolphin boat tour with a group, you should know that it’s possible to find a fun, exciting experience without feeling like you’re fighting for your life to get around the marina. The best way to deal with a large group on a dolphin tour is to practice some patience, and remember that most large groups are a fun collection of people who are most likely just as excited about seeing the dolphins as you are. If you’re thinking about chartering a boat, you might wonder how that compares to riding on a group boat tour.

So, you want to know how to handle groups and private charter but aren’t sure how to get started. Don’t worry, we can offer you some pointers. It’s important to remember that a charter is a special kind of fishing trip, designed to meet the needs of a specific group. And since each group is different, a successful fishing trip with one group is no guarantee that you won’t run into problems with another. But with a little practice and learning, you can learn how to anticipate and resolve your charter’s need.
