What to wear on a fishing charter

We frequently get asked the question "what should I wear on a fishing charter?" Like most things, there's not one answer.  But, as they say in the miltary, proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance (the 7 Ps).

The factors that should go into helping make up your decision are:

• Where is my fishing charter taking place?
• What is the weather forecasted to be?
• Do I get cold easily?

In general, Florida fishing is very comfortable year round. We always recommend bringing an extra layer with you (windbreaker, sweatshirt) in case it's a cooler than normal day out on the water. It's better to be overprepared than under prepared.

All of our deep sea fishing charters include a captain and mate. The mate is there to do the dirty work but it's still possible that your clothes may get wet or dirty, so we recommend wearing clothing that you wouldn't be devistated if it got wet or got stained.

Here's a quick guide we put together for what to wear on a fishing charter:

Start checking the marine forecast the day before your trip to see what the conditions are expected to be like. You can always call us or call the captain to find out what the weather is expected to be and what you should wear.
