What to Bring on the boat

  2. If purchased online, an electronic copy of a California fishing license downloaded to your phone is valid; however, we recommend you take a screen shot of your license, or bring a paper copy, as cell coverage might not be available at the time you may be asked to present it to a CDFW agent. 
  3. An unexpired Passport or Passport Card is required for all passengers on the Mexican Inshore/Coronado Islands trips.
  4. Lunch, recommended for trips of 6 hours or longer, snacks, and drinks of your choice, including beer or RTDs, in cans or plastic bottles (do not bring glass or hard liquor onto the boat). We have a cooler on board for your use and we provide bottled water and light snacks (chips, granola bars and assorted candies).
