Sounds perfect.
I've been on charters where the Captain was absolutely NAZI about everything. Don't get me wrong, we ALWAYS caught our limit with him, and they were always great fish. But I was taking some clients out and most had never been on a charter before and some had never even been fishing (What?!!!!!) so it was a little intimidating to them and probably not the best choice of captains on my part.
Of course, us fellas that are fishermen....we frigging loved it.
I guess it's ok to speak with a captain prior to the trip to make sure we're all on the same page as to what our expectations and capabilities are. Always helps to have a competent, friendly mate onboard too since that's really who the guests interact with the most.
