We will supply everything you will need for fishing. But you will need to bring some personal items, like sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, and possibly some wet weather gear incase you have to fight a fish during a rain shower. You should have deck shoes or sneakers that won't be slippery on a wet deck. You need to bring your own food and drinks. The boat has ice and an ice chest available to keep your food and beverages cold. I recommend that you bring picnic style foods like sandwiches, chips and prepackaged food. There is a microwave in the galley but cooking things while you're underway in open seas is not easy or advisable. You will not need to bring a cooler on the boat. Bring a cooler with you and leave it in your vehicle to take your fish home. Don't forget your camera, batteries, Ipod, and whatever else you like to play with.
