You are welcome to get as involved as you would like with your adventure as well, whether you'd rather lounge and chat with the lovely company you've brought on board, or scan the horizon looking for birds or fish activity to help out your Captain, Captain Brad will make sure you have a fantastic time either way. Beyond superior service and luxurious amenities, Captain Brad also provides the best rods, reels, tackle, bait, and fishing licenses you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water.
