What if my trip provider doesn’t show up?
A “no-show” for a captain or guide is an issue we take very seriously. In the unlikely event your trip provider isn’t available for whatever reason on the day of your trip, please call us at 1-833-I-GO-FISH (446-3474). We will then make every effort to find another local trip provider to get you out on the water. Or you can simply receive a refund from FishAnywhere.com…it’s the Confidence we bring to each of our customers!
What do I bring on my fishing trip?
Every fishing adventure is different; we recommend checking the charter listing for boat rules and what is provided. The essentials we recommend bringing are weather protective gear and sunglasses. However, your trip provider will contact you to recommended what to bring (and not to bring) to make the most of your day out on the water.
How do I get to the boat?
Transportation is different for each trip. Some providers will have you meet at the dock, others may have a pick-up location. Your trip provider will give you instructions on the meeting place.
Do I need a fishing license?
Every state and fishing trip type (inland/offshore) have different rules for fishing license requirements. It is your responsibility to ask your trip provider well in advance whether or not you will need to purchase your own license. (Note that most licenses, if required, are between $8 and $45)
Do I tip my fishing Guide?
If you are satisfied with your fishing adventure, it is the industry norm to show your appreciation by tipping your fishing First Mate once the trip is completed (we suggest a 15-20% tip). Tipping the Captain/Guide is always appreciated, especially if they put you on the fish! We don’t include the option to pre-pay a gratuity through FishAnywhere.com for the same reason you don’t pre-tip a server while out at dinner. You want to make sure the service is worthy of a tip! Cash is preferred by our trip providers, but you can discuss payment options with them when the time comes.
Which Conservation Groups do you support?
FishAnywhere.com is committed to the growth of sustainable fishing practices and keeping the world’s fisheries healthy for all future generations. We’ve partnered with 3 leading Environmental Conservation Groups, and a portion of each booking made through FishAnywhere.com is donated to Bonefish & Tarpon Trust, Captains for Clean Water, and Trout Unlimited.
