Available Year Round.

Pelican Adventures: Party Boat Fishing

Enjoy Party Boat Fishing aboard the Vera Marie, a 70’ vessel that is raising the bar for fishing “party boats”. She features a sun deck, a large airconditioned salon, and restrooms. Pelican Adventures provides everything you need including a fishing license, gear, and bait. The deckhands will clean and bag your fish at the end of your trip.

Call Xplorie to book this activity.

What you need to know
  • All fishing trips include your fishing license, rod and reel, bait, and cleaning and bagging your fish afterwards.
  • On the Vera Marie, every person or group will have their own numbered cooler where you will put any fish you catch that are in season. At the end of the charter, you will keep everything in your cooler which our crew will clean and bag for you to take.
  • Species: mostly Snapper family & triggerfish, anything else is a bonus! Which fish you can keep depends on the time of year and what is in season.
  • Children must be 6 years old to participate in a fishing excursion with us.
  • Wear something comfortable and appropriate for the weather conditions while also considering that temperatures out on the water and on a boat can vary from on land. Also many fishing trips will start early in the morning when it might be chilly and end in the hot afternoon sun. For this reason it’s best to dress in layers so you have plenty of options.
  • Many people prefer a lightweight micro-fiber long-sleeved shirt to keep you cool and protected from the sun. Also consider a light windbreaker or rain jacket since it can get breezy during the travel to your fishing destination and occasional rain showers can roll in. We highly recommend non-skid rubber sole shoes (such as sneakers), a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses.
  • We suggest bringing a small cooler with food, drinks (including plenty of water), a hand towel, sunscreen, and sunglasses. Alcoholic beverages are allowed but please no glass. First timers may want to take some non-drowsy motion sickness medication. Bananas are considered bad luck on a fishing boat so please leave those at home!
  • Deck hands appreciate and rely on tips if you feel they provided you with a good fishing experience. As a general rule, 20 percent of your trip cost is standard but be as generous as you feel, especially if they went above and beyond.
  • The captain reviews the weather and surf conditions daily before any boats go out. If he determines that the weather is unsafe for fishing then he will cancel the trip. You will be offered a chance to reschedule or a full refund will be provided if your travel plans don’t allow it.
  • $20.00 charge to park on site at our new location at 600 Harbor Blvd. (Pick up your parking permit at check in)
  • Free parking across the street at 106 Benning Drive. Look for the Pelican Adventures Parking sign.
  • DO NOT PARK at Sextons Seafood Market, you will be towed!
  • Budget your time accordingly for heavy traffic.
  • Please check in 1 hour prior to your departure time. Boarding begins 25 minutes before departure. Be sure to allow plenty of extra time for traffic delays and parking. The captain cannot wait for anyone past the scheduled departure time.
  • Please check-in using the name on your reservation.
