Frequently Asked Questions – Charter Boat Starfire
How deep is the water we’ll be fishing in?
Most of the time, we’ll be fishing in water that’s 80 to 110 feet deep.
Are we going to see dolphins?
Yes! We see dolphins pretty often, especially hanging out behind the boat looking for food. It’s a great photo opportunity — but keep an eye on your line, they’ve been known to steal fish right off the hook!
Can we catch a shark?
Absolutely. Shark fishing is definitely possible on our trips.
What’s Captain Bill’s favorite fish to eat?
That’s a tough one — he says it really depends on how it’s cooked!
What happens if the weather looks bad?
Safety comes first. If the weather’s an issue, we may decide to cancel or switch to bay fishing instead. If we cancel for weather, you’ll get a 100% refund.
