Frequently Asked Questions

Children of all ages are welcome on our fishing trips, but we recommend children be at least 5 years old to fully enjoy the experience.

Please discuss this with your Captain at the time of booking to make sure the proper safety equipment is on board for your child.

We charter our bay boat trips in St. Augustine Florida in the Vilano Beach area. Our flats and backcountry trips are subject to change locations due to the conditions for fishing on the day of your charter. Captain James will discuss any changes prior to the charter time.

We require a 72-hour notice for cancellations in order to receive a full refund. Cancellations made within 72 hours of the trip will result in a loss of the deposit cost.

Please bring a good pair of sunglasses, hat and sunscreen. We do a lot of sight fishing and having a good pair of sunglasses and hat will give you the best opportunity to see those fish.

Please only bring sunscreen lotion and NOT spray sunscreen. The spray bottle sunscreen leaves stains on the boat and you will be asked not to use on board.

Also bring whatever food/snack/and drinks you prefer. Waters will be on board.

Fishing license, bait, and tackle are all provided by Tideline Charters.
