Free marina parking is limited to specific spaces. Please do not assume parking at the Miss Chris Marina is parking for your specific trip. Please be specific when asking where to park. State you are going either 4-hour fishing or 8-hour fishing aboard the Miss Chris or Lady Chris. Or, if you are there for a private charter, please state the name of the private charter. Please request that one of the following people verify your parking spot: Bob, Capt Mike, Capt Jeff, Jim, Judy, or Gavin. If Bob is grumpy, ask Mike or Jim.

RENTAL ROD POLICY

We have fishing rods and reels available for rent aboard the boat. Rods are newer Gull Reels rods and reels are either Penn Long Beach or Jigmaster or Senator or Shimano TLD Reels. The line on our reels is Ande or Suffix Monofilament. We do our best to keep our tackle in top condition and we appreciate our guests doing the same. The total rental rod package would cost $100 to buy at any tackle shop. Lost or stolen rods will require a $100 replacement fee. Please do everything in your power to keep the fishing rod and reel in the boat and in proper working order. Failure to treat our tackle with respect will result in the loss of the rental rod without a refund.

TICKET / RESERVATION POLICY

Both purchased tickets and reservations made for Cape May Cruises, Miss Chris Boats, and the Lady Chris fishing boat are held until 30 minutes prior to departure. After the 30-minute threshold, pre-purchased tickets may be automatically rescheduled for a future trip if capacity is reached. Reservations are forfeited. In the busy summer months, one should consider that there will be traffic on the roadways and this will slow or impede your path to the marina.

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY POLICY

You are responsible for yourself, your actions, and your abilities. If you are a parent or a guardian you are responsible for the actions of your children or those you give care to. While aboard the vessel you should always remain near your children. You should listen to the announcements made by the captain of the boat. The captain and crew are there to advise you in safe practices aboard a boat, such as “Hold on, sit down, no jumping, no climbing.” The beginning of every trip includes announcements pertaining to life-saving equipment aboard the vessel as required by the United States Coast Guard, as well as the location of this equipment. Also mentioned at the beginning of every trip is: “Parents and guardians, your children are your responsibility. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Also, rules for everyone on board, adults and children alike: no running, no jumping, no climbing. You should have both feet on the floor while standing. If asked to have a seat, take a seat. It is not optional.” The ocean can be a dangerous place and when it is in motion the waves put you in motion. Common sense is required of all passengers. We want to have fun, but safety will always come first.

DOG POLICY

Dogs are allowed aboard the vessel outside the cabin.
