However, keep in mind that although the crew is almost composed of excellent fishermen who will be able to help you find a big catch, most charters will require you to bring your own food and drinks. Don t expect the crew to cook your lunch as they are fishermen and not servants. Always remember that when you are sport fishing in a tropical location, always bring your sun block.
