Policies / Recommendations

The tip for the mate's service is not included in the bill for your charter. It's often customary to tip your mate(s) a total of 15-20% of the charter price, similar to a restaurant worker.

All shoes worn should be soft-soled. While it may seem impractical, it helps protect the boat from paint chipping and other slight damage. If you're unsure if your soles are soft vs hard and you'd like to wear them, bring them with you and ask the Captain / Deckhand.

While we recommend close toed shoes, however they aren't required.  We recommend it due the large amount of materials on the boats being unforgiving to exposed feet.

It is preferred to use a stick style or lotion-based sunscreen rather than spray. If you wish to use it, we may just simply ask you to move to certain sections of the boat, as sunscreen can / will affect the bait that's on the table if sprayed. 

We strongly encourage people to read the weather before choosing your outfit. If its supposed to be barely warm, bring a jacket for the ride out. If it's supposed to warm nicely, feel free to bring shorts out with you.

The boat does not provide food and drink as a standard. If you'd like us to cater food and drinks for you, its an additional fee. We recommend packing enough water to sustain everyone, as well as whatever else food or beverage you wish.

Miss Atlantic City provides rods and reels to all charters. You're more than welcome to bring your personal rod and reel. While we can't stop you from rigging how you wish, the expertise of the crew can be invaluable. 

If you tend to get sea sick, or have a family history of it, it's recommended to take motion sickness medication. It's encouraged to take the medication as prescribed on the bottle.

Our Vessels come equipped with all necessary equipment to be certified by the United States Coast Guard. You're welcome to being you're own jacket for yourself, or your children, but are ultimately not required due to vessel design and regulations.
