What wind/wave height for charter to cancel? - Page 2

We are 60ft and we call it at 25 kts now we can go but it's not worth beating the party or the boat up.I know i would not want to ride 60mile knowing we had to come back in.......Not much fun.

There are many factors to consider. If I were running a 60+' boat, I would at least stick my nose out and run 5 miles or so to see how things really are. The wind and wave directions compared to your course heading can make things bearable but you have to check it out.

It ain't commercial fishing, different kinda boat and crew. Charter fishin's supposed to be fun. Not too much fun on your knee's all day, tuna or not. Frank

Let your Capt make the call. Those OC forcasts seem to be very sketchy. Wind direction bucking current makes things even worse and the direction relative to your destination as well. If you live close and wanna fish and/or drink; have that orange crush, till 3 and make your call

If Im on a center console........1 to 2. Those boats suck to fish on. A twin diesel with a real cockpit............3 to 5. Anything else, Im in the pool.
