Questions about fishing charters in Florida City

What happens if it is too windy to go offshore?

Often the trip just moves inshore rather than being called off — 8 of the 58 boats here run both, so a blown-out morning can become a back-country or bay trip. 3 of them publish a weather or cancellation policy on their own site — read the one belonging to the boat you book.

What happens if the weather turns before my Florida City trip?

It is the captain's call on the morning, and the terms differ boat to boat: some refund the deposit, some reschedule. As Chris' Clear Water Charters puts it: “All charters are subject to changes or cancelation due to weather, or unforeseen circumstances as per the captains discretion.” Worth reading the policy of the boat you are booking before you pay one.

Back-country or offshore — which trip should I book in Florida City?

They are different days on different water. 17 charters here list offshore only, 15 list inshore only, and 8 list both. Offshore means a longer run and bigger fish; inshore means calmer water, shorter runs and sight-fishing.
