• We will be sailing with a max of 27/34 individuals or families spaced out 6 feet apart. If you are meeting someone with that booked a separate ticket under a different name please let the office know or add their names under spiecal requirements.

• If you are coming from the same household you may fish next to each other but those NOT from the same home must stay 6 ft apart while fishing.

• ALL smoking of any kind must be done on the upper deck in the sanctioned smoking sections and must stay 6 feet apart from one another.

• Masks must be worn while fishing. Mates must be able to safely assist you when needed.

• Reservations are required for ALL trips. Walk on customers will not be accepted at this time.

• ALL RESERVATIONS MUST BE PAID IN ADVANCE.THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS. We are limiting the amount of contact by not accepting cash. We will also be temporarily suspending our fish pool as a result to our NO CASH policy.

• It is customary to give the deckhands a tip for their service. All tips in cash are asked to be put into designated tip jars. While a tip jar is not standard on the Osprey, we feel that it is prudent while trying to limit all contact. Tip Jars will be located in the stern of the vessel and at the gate when disembarking. The mates greatly appreciate everything that they are tipped and thank you in advance for your understanding.

• It has always been standard recommended operating procedure to arrive at the boat 1 hour prior to sail time. Unfortunately this has not always been fallowed. We ask that everyone is respectful of others time and please arrive NO LATER than 30 min prior to the trip for check in. Check in will now be done on the dock and not in the cabin. Late arrivals will forfeit their ticket and fare. Please plan accordingly.

• Available fishing spots: We will have designated fishing spots on all trips that are 6 feet away from each other. FAMILIES MAY FISH NEXT TO EACH OTHER. There will be a ZERO tolerance policy when it comes to arguing over fishing spots. The Captains always do their best to maximize fish that come up all around the boat. No spot is considered better than another.

• Boarding procedure: Please do not embark the vessel until the crew has properly checked you in on the dock. Please line up on the Main dock spacing 6 feet apart in a clear line.

• All rods and boat will be properly sanitized before to the next trip.

 

• Gloves are not a necessary form of protection unless changed frequently. Gloves used improperly can spread contamination farther than clean bare hands. If you will be wearing gloves please use good judgment and change them often.

• Although CDC regulations have eased up a bit on passenger counts, we will be continuing a limited capacity on all trips. Our #1 priority is the health and safety of our customers and crew members. We are still closely watching all reports on Covid-19, so keep ourselves up to date on all news.
