Safety
The safety and
enjoyment of our passengers and crew is extremely important. It will be the
sole decision of the vessel Captain in assessing equipment, water and
weather conditions as to actual departure. If a cancellation must be made
under the above circumstances, it will be the client's choice of a refund of
deposit or rescheduling.
Drugs and Alcohol
Safety is our
priority. We meet or exceed the stringent USCG requirements for vessels. No
more than one six-pack of beer may be brought for each person. No beer can
be opened until the vessel is three miles offshore, and no alcohol
consumption is permitted at least one half hour prior to arrival at the
dock. The captain may terminate the charter at any time, without refund, if
one or more individuals becomes intoxicated or cannot, in the captain's
opinion, follow directions in an emergency situation. We comply with the
USCG "Zero Tolerance Law" regarding drugs. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Fisheries
Tip-N-Ring
crew and its passengers will fish in accordance with all applicable
regulations as required by the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries
and the National Marine Fisheries Service. Anglers may not use more
than two hooks or a jig and a single teaser when recreationally fishing for
codfish and haddock.
