Common questions
Know before you go.
How far in advance can I request a trip?
You can reach out months ahead. Send your preferred date and an alternate date; availability is confirmed directly by Marvin.
Why does the departure time vary?
Tides affect flats fishing. Marvin confirms a departure time a few days before the trip so the day can be planned around local conditions.
What should I bring?
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, polarized sunglasses, comfortable sun-protective clothing, shoes that can get wet, a towel, and a protected camera or phone. See the Day-of Info page for the full checklist.
Can a beginner or first-time fly angler join?
Yes. The service welcomes novices and can introduce guests to fly fishing or use light tackle when appropriate. Tell Marvin your experience level when requesting the trip.
