Question 1

What's your availability?

Accepted Answer

Contact us by phone or email to arrange your charter. Our season runs from early spring to late fall.

Question 2

How do I book and pay?

Accepted Answer

Please phone/email us to book your charter. The $100 deposit and payment are done by etransfer.

Question 3

What's the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

As a small business, we do our best to be fair, but we also need to recoup for lost business. When you book, you're required to make a $100 deposit. Should you cancel within 14 days of your charter, this deposit will be not refunded. If you cancel 15 or more days in advance of your trip, we will provide a full refund of the deposit amount.  If you do not qualify for a refund, you may apply the deposit amount towards a future booking with us.

Question 4

What is included in my charter fee?

Accepted Answer

Your flat fee includes: 
- bait and fishing gear (road, tackle, nets)
- pails and a cooler for the day's catch
- the boat (fully licensed, well maintained and fuel tank full)
- PDFs (standard adult sizes available)

Question 5

What's NOT included in my charter fee?

Accepted Answer

Your fishing license is not included in the fee. A fishing license is easy to acquire online. Apply here. You'll be required to show your fishing license before boarding the boat.

Food and drink are not included but is available for a fee. Please pre-order at lease 48 hours prior to departure. You're also welcome to bring your own food and water aboard in a cooler.

Question 6

Do I need to bring my own PFD (life jacket)?

Accepted Answer

While we admire Lake Ontario swimmers, we don't want to be them, so PFDs are a must.

You are welcome to bring your own, but we have standard adult-sized life jackets on board for each person. If you require a non-standard or child size, you will need to provide this.

Question 7

What about bad weather?

Accepted Answer

We fish in all weather except if our captain deems the waters dangerous. If it is stormy on the day of your charter, contact the captain before you leave home. Canceled trips will be rescheduled at no charge, are we'll do our very best to offer you a date that works for your party.

Question 8

Can I bring my own food? Is there a cooler I can store my food?

Accepted Answer

Yes and yes. We can also provide lunch (dinner) but you must pre-order because we make our Fisherman's Lunchboxes with TLC and need some prep time to shop and cook.

Question 9

What happens if we arrive late?

Accepted Answer

Traffic to and from Niagara can be heavy--particularly in summer. Please plan accordingly. We will wait for your group, but may not be able to extend beyond the original return time.

Question 10

Gratuities?

Accepted Answer

Do we tip the captain?

Although somewhat customary in the commercial sport fishing industry, it’s completely up to you. If you had a great day on the water, gratuities are always appreciated, but never expected.
