Step 1
Apply sunscreen and bring the bottle so that you can re-apply when necessary. It is easy to get sunburned on the water, so make sure you don't forget this essential item.
-
Step 2
Take Dramamine before your trip if you are prone to getting sea sick. If you have never been on a boat before, assume you get seasick and take some Dramamine to ensure a pleasurable trip.
-
Step 3
Get a fishing license. Check with your charter boat company to see what kind of fishing license is required and where you can purchase one.
-
Step 4
Wear a hat and sunglasses. The sun's reflection off the water can be very intense, so protecting your face and eyes is very important.
-
Step 5
Bring a windbreaker or rain jacket in case of inclement weather. If your body is wet, the ride back to shore may be very cold and uncomfortable.
-
Step 6
Pack plenty of water bottles and food for the day. Depending on the number of people joining you and the amount of room on the charter boat, a cooler or two is the best way to bring these items on board.
-
Step 7
Leave a cooler in your car or back at the dock for any fish that you are going to transport home with you at the end of the day.
