Captain Sam Kimball always ensures that his ship is far enough away from the coastline. Florida Red Tides develop around 10-15 miles offshore, away from man-made nutrient sources. However, once Red Tides are transported inshore, they are capable of using man-made nutrients for their growth. Is it OK to eat local Fin-Fish during a Red Tide? Your Captain will always inspect the fish you catch, to ensure safety. However, Yes, it is safe to eat local fin-fish as long as the fish are filleted before eaten. Although toxins may accumulate in the guts of fish, these areas are disposed of when the fish are filleted. However, it is never a good idea to eat dead or distressed animals, especially in a Red Tide area. Are Red Rides a new occurrence? This is certainly not the first time the Kimball family has encountered Red Tides! Red Tides occurred in Florida long before human settlement, and severe Red Tides were observed in the mid-1900's before the state’s coastlines were heavily developed. The incorporation of our families passed down knowledge in conjunction with the newest scientific advancements will always ensure you have a safe and fun trip!
