Here are Captain Keith's Official Documents. Why are these important? Because they help you distinguish between a captain that is operating legally and in your best interests, versus those that are cutting corners--possibly at your expense!USCG Captain's License Captain Keith has a full "6-Pack" License that qualifies him to run a charter boat up to 100 miles offshore. Note that this is not a Florida "Guides" License which would not qualify a guide to charter in saltwater--including our Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River Lagoon.

Commercial Business Permit Our local saltwater inshore waters are protected areas that are controlled with a special permit, called a Commercial Business Permit. It insures that the captain has the proper state and county licenses, registrations, and insurance. DO NOT fish in the Mosquito Lagoon or Indian River Lagoon with a captain that cannot produce this permit for you, as it leaves you liable to fines if you are caught!

Saltwater License This is the specialty Fishing License that covers your fishing activities. Some guides will want you to buy your own, but a quality captain will have this license that covers you with no additional cost. Again, if a captain does not have this onboard he is leaving you liable for some significant fines if you are not covered by a license.

County Occupational License In order to protect you from someone unscrupulous, the State of Florida requires a Captain to have an Occupational License in the County where he or she lives. If someone you are trying to charter does not have this, then they are operating illegally.
