When chartering a boat, try to make sure and ask the Captain hey, can you please point out where my life preserver’s at and where basically all your safety equipment that I need to know while on your excursion. If it's a good captain and a good crew, they are going to come right up to you and explain to you and show you where all the safety gear is right before the excursion. So offshore fishing requires a lot more than just thinking, about going out and having fun.
