Eyes Ready is Dedicated To Keeping Its Clients

Unprecedented Time.

Social Distancing and Precautions on Charter Boats

The experts are saying that people will still need to adhere to the recommended Social Distancing of 6’ or more.  In addition when people are in close proximity to one another for an extended period of time they are required to wear a mask.

 At Eyes Ready we have always recognized it as part of our duty to keep our boat and equipment clean and sanitized for the protection of our clients.   We will continue with our current high standards and adhere to any additional suggestions and safety regulations that may come about. Below is a list of some of the procedures we will be following when we get back to fishing:
