One of the first choices you’ll make when booking is whether to go private or shared. Both put you on the water with an experienced crew, but they suit different kinds of trips.
Private Charters
A private charter is booked exclusively for your group, so you set the pace, choose the target species, and don’t share rods or deck space with strangers. It’s the better fit for groups celebrating something special, families with young kids, or anglers who want the captain’s full attention.
Shared Charters
Shared charters split the boat — and the cost — with other guests booked for the same trip. They’re a great, budget-friendly way to get offshore, especially for solo travelers or couples who don’t need the whole boat to themselves.
Still Not Sure?
If your group is larger than four or five people, a private charter is often similar in price per person to booking shared seats, with the added benefit of having the boat to yourselves. Reach out and we’ll help you compare the numbers for your group size.
