Is the price of the trip per person or per charter?
The rate you see on our website is per CHARTER, NOT per person. Your rate is for up to 3 crabbers at one time. An additional 2 people can be added for $50 each for a full 3 Hour charter.
Additional hours can be purchased at a rate of $95 per hour
When divided up between crabbers, no other trip can guarantee the amount of fun for the money!
Will I need a fishing license?
No. We have a Charter License that covers everyone onboard.
Are alcoholic beverages allowed on board?
All containers should be plastic or cans - no glass please!
Beer is permitted in cans (Limit of One Six Pack per boat). No hard liquor is permitted.
Absolutely no illegal drugs or substances of any kind will be tolerated.
Are there a lot of insects out there?
Although we recommend that you bring your own bug spray, we do provide a can onboard. Most of the insects we come across are non-biting insects and are more of a slight distraction than anything else. In the cooler months, very few are even present and after a short period of time you will quickly forget that they are even there due to your excitement and concentration on the crabs.
What should I bring along on my adventure?
Refreshments and equipment are provided for your charter. You can bring your own food and beverages if desired, but we do provide water and snacks. Bug spray, long pants, closed toe soft-soled shoes, jacket and a camera are all items that we would recommend for your comfort.
Can this be done during the day?
The glare of the sun on the water, the sometimes windy conditions and higher temperatures make it much more difficult to see and scoop crabs during the day. Our powerful boat lights make it much easier to spot and scoop crabs at night.
The cooler temperatures and calmer waters make for a much more enjoyable experience!
Daytime Oyster Trips Available November- February
Do we get to keep the crabs we catch?
Yes, every crab that you catch is yours to keep. We suggest that you bring a medium to large cooler filled with a layer of ice on the bottom covered by a wet towel. This allows the crabs to stay alive, but calms them down and prevents them from fighting.
At the end of the trip we will explain to you exactly how to clean and cook your crabs.
How To Care for Your Crabs
1. Make sure to keep your crabs from going directly into melted ice
until you are ready to kill them for cleaning.
Keeping them on a wet towel above the bagged ice in cooler is best. Freezing water will kill your crabs.
2. Make sure to keep a crack in the cooler lid to allow air to enter the cooler so the
crabs do not suffocate in your cooler. If any of your crabs look dead or smell bad in any way do not eat.
3. If you decide to clean the crabs before eating, you will place the crabs directly
into a slurry of ice water with just enough water to cover ice and crabs.
Your crabs will die within a few minutes.
4. To clean the crabs before eating you will want to pop off the top shell, remove
the guts and lungs, remove the face as well as the bottom flap of
both male and females. Rinse crab good with hose or water from sink.
Place crabs in clean pot and keep cool until ready to place in boiling water.
5. Place crabs in boiling water until they turn a bright orange color.
Then give them a few more minutes before removing from pot.
6. Break open crabs with a small wooden hammer or meat tenderizing mallet.
Dip in melted butter and enjoy!
