Mother Nature:
Keep in mind that you are traveling through Mother Natures’ unpredictable forces, so expect changes in the weather and sea conditions. While the EXCEL is equipped with modern stabilization features, we recommend that you take the necessary precautions and come prepared with the seasickness remedy of your choice. The EXCEL is equipped with all of the luxuries of home, however we want everyone to have an enjoyable fishing experience, and so we ask you to please check the weather forecast for your time frame and pack accordingly. |

Weather Policy
Whether you are departing upon a grand voyage into Mexican waters or a quick run off the San Diego coast, it is always best to be prepared. While we enjoy some of the best weather on the planet year round, the weather can sometimes be fickle especially at sea, so it is a good idea to be prepared and pack accordingly for whatever Mother Nature might throw at you. Always bring warmer clothes in case they are needed. Please visit The Weather Channel for a complete forecast for your scheduled trip. |
