Intermediate trips leave at 6 AM and noon. On all trips, anglers just have to furnish food and drinks in a small cooler. Coolers for fish can be left in cars back at the dock. While on board, all fish is either put on ice in a fish box or on stringers, depending on size. Fish-cleaning service is available at the dock.
Slip rentals are also available.
Besides fishing supplies, the Ship's Store at Pirate's Cove sells sportswear, T-shirts, souvenir hats and drink huggies, groceries, and ice. A restaurant above the store, Hurricane Mo's, includes a raw bar and fresh steamed seafood. Each year, Pirate's Cove hosts a number of tournaments. For advance notification, write P.O.
