Masks + Cleaning + Safe Practices  + Common Sense


COVID-19 Safety Practices:

  • Face Masks are not required. We will respect your choice to wear a mask or not.
  • Distancing is not required. We have a wide open deck, plenty of room for reeling in your catch.
  • Cleanliness Tuna Hunter is cleaning with bleach and disinfectant above and below deck between each charter and throughout the day.  Please bring your own personal cleaning products if you have specific needs or preferences
  • Numbers Consider limiting your charter to 4 persons, for ease of distancing between persons at all times.
  • Health If you or anyone in your party is sick or does not feel well, please call us to reschedule your charter.
  • Common Sense Common sense applies at all times. If the captain determines the boat or charter are unsafe regarding COVID-19 guidelines for crew and or passengers, he may end the charter early for the safety of all concerned.

With a good dose of common sense we can all enjoy successful healthy fishing charters ~
