They will also take out fewer people if those guests agree to pay the whole charter price. The rate includes all equipment, but it usually does not include drinks, food or a gratuity. Typically, guests bring their own lunch and drinks, although sometimes drinks are included in the rate. Often the captain prefers to negotiate times and prices with one person who represents the group. That way there's less confusion.
Groups often come from conventions or are made up of people who are staying in the same hotel.
You can reserve through your guest accommodation or one of the booking offices listed in this chapter, or, of course, you can call the captain direct. It's best to talk to him about arrangements anyway. Rates are subject to change. Some captains, but not all, fish year-round, weather permitting. We will tell you if they only operate during specified seasons.
