Plan Your Trip

Traveling to and from David

We offer two fully customizable packages — our VIP, fish-with-us, stay-with-us package, with all food and drink included, plus day charters out of Boca Chica.

We pride ourselves on flexibility. You tell us how many people and how many days — if we have the availability, we will make it happen.

It sounds so reasonable that we wonder why it is not done this way everywhere. Many lodges are rigid and force you into their packages. Customizing your trip is as easy as contacting Captain Shane Jarvis.

Good to know

Bringing fish home, and our policies

Bringing fish home is easy

We fillet, vacuum-seal in 3 mm 10" x 12" bags and freeze a portion of your catch — just $15 per bag, and perfect for travel. We recommend a Yeti Hopper-style tote or a small 30–40 quart cooler, or you can buy one of ours at the lodge for $50 or $80.

Cancellation, weather & fuel

Because of our limited size, cancellations affect us greatly, so we keep a strict policy. Payments are refundable, less a $650 per person fee, for cancellations received in writing at least 150 days before arrival. Inside 150 days, all payments are non-refundable and non-transferable. In the event of an act of God, travel ban or pandemic, we will reschedule within 12 months at no extra charge.

Weather: if your captain calls off a day for safety, you receive a credit for that day's fishing on your next booking. Fuel: packages are based on fuel at a max of $6.00/gallon; a surcharge is communicated before arrival only if fuel exceeds that. We highly recommend trip insurance through our partners at Global Rescue.
