Let's answer all of these questions.
How Do I Book A Charter?
The first thing you have to know, is that I book trips on a first come, first serve basis. The further in advance you book a trip, the more likely
you'll get the date or dates that you desire, especially in the January - June time frame.
There are several ways to contact me.

notified, immediately, of the message and get back with you just as soon as I can.

Is A Deposit Required?
Yes, I require a $100 deposit to hold each date you want to book. The check, in the exact amount, should be made out to Captain Dave Kostyo and
in US dollars. When I receive the deposit, I will send you a receipt, brochure, and business cards. If you need directions to TNT Marine Center,
let me know where you'll be coming from, in the South Florida area, and I'll include detailed driving directions.

How Do I Pay For The Charter?
We already know that the deposit is a check. The remainder for the charter is due in cash (US dollars) on the day of the trip.
I DO NOTaccept credit cards.

How many people can go on the charter?
The maximum number of people I can take is four (4). It makes no difference whether they are adults or children.

Can I go as part of another group?
This is known as a split group, split party, or split charter. I DO NOT arrange them. When you book a charter with me, you are booking my boat for
yourself or group of up to four (4) people.

What About a Fishing License?
All adults are required to have a fishing license. I purchase a license each year that covers everyone who fishes aboard my boat, so it is not necessary
for you to purchase a temporary fishing license.

What Is Your Cancellation Policy?
Weather conditions are the main reason a charter will either be cancelled or postponed to another date.
If, based on the Captain's knowledge of local weather conditions, the seas are too high or rough; we will reschedule the charter to another date. If this can't be done, then the deposit will be refunded.
If you are a "no-show", you will forfeit the deposit.
Refunds of a deposit for any other reason will be handled on a case by case basis.

I've Gone Out Numerous Times On My Own And Have Had Little To No Success. Will You Teach Me How To Fish?
Yes I can, however, it has to be on my boat. Once you've spent the day learning on my boat, you can go out on your own boat and practice what you've
learned.

Can You Come Out On My Boat And Take Me Fishing?
No. Due to liability reasons, my insurance policy will only allow me to take charters out on my boat.

Evening Bottom Fishing Charters

Small Children Introduction to Fishing
This type charter is for small children who have little or no experience fishing. We fish for a variety of bottom fish and are more interested
in steady action than size or quality of fish. Patience is not a virtue of most small children and steady action will hook them on fishing and have
them wanting to come back for more. Four (4) hours will be more than ample on this charter.....................................................................................................$400.00
