iOutdoors.com makes it mandatory that trip providers have liability insurance for their boat. While most listing companies do not make it a requirement to have these, iOutdoors.com considers this highly important and a vital part in protecting the future of the existing captains.  In order to provide our customers with the best possible fishing options, anyone not in compliance will not receive charters.

We realize there are areas where this is not required, but we still require a valid captain license. We keep a copy of all captains license in the house at all time, if a captain lets if expire he or she forfeits there availability and will not receive any future booking until renewed. This helps provide our customers with the best possible fishing captain, anyone not in compliance will not receive charters.

iOutdoors.com is not a listing site, we do not make you compete with other captains. We sell fishing destinations, not captains and prices as many others do. So why we do in some destinations have profiles, it is not necessary or promoted, simply an information page for customers.

To submit photos and profile information you can click here “Listing Overview”, add “Photos” area information and more. Please refrain from uploading pictures containing any contact information, such as: Phone numbers and Websites. iOutdoors.com does not unfairly market one captain over another and reserve the right to remove/edit any photos we deem necessary.

At the time of booking, the customer pays a deposit on the trip total through iOutdoors.com. We will then send you, the Captain or Guide, a confirmation when you accept the booking. You will receive payment once the trip is completed. Most of our captains have should volume that they do payroll once a week…we can start either way.

At iOutdoors.com we don’t believe in making you compete with other guides on our Team by creating listings. We also don’t have a “pay-to-play” system where each captain has to lower rates or raise commissions to get work. Instead, you qualify to be on the Team, follow the rules set by the team and you have a career for life without having to compete with listing placement sites.

Our algorithm is seniority and rewards those who are loyal and contribute more value to the company for the better good of the Team.  It’s that simple.
