Personal Gear

The Qualifier 105’s  personal gear list provides our anglers with recommended clothing and sundries.  We suggest that you use this list as a basis for your packing.   Our recommendations are just that, some anglers will find that we have included too much gear and others will find important items that are not included.  If you need advice or have any questions, the office and deck crew are available.  Our purpose is to optimize and prepare you for your long range adventure. 

Luggage 

Soft duffel bags best for storage in your stateroom

Shorts, Pants and Shirts

Bring a change for each day of the trip.  Remember the clothing you fish in, can be permanently stained.   Long sleeves if you are sun sensitive.

Sweatshirts & Jackets

It can be cold out on the ocean especially after sundown.  We recommend 2 sweatshirts with a wind resistant jacket to go over.  Official Qualifier 105 gear insures that you stay warm and catch more fish.!

Socks 

One pair per day with extras, it is a wet environment

Foot wear

One pair short  “comfortable” rubber boots.  If you fish in sneakers two pair, if not, one will do.  Please no sandals while fishing.

Sunglasses w/ strap, Hat & Sunscreen

Even on a cloudy day the UV reflecting off the ocean can be extreme.  Polarized glasses and maximum strength sunscreen

Light Rain Gear 

Rarely used, but welcome when needed
