Family Ties Charters is a "family" first company. We specialize in nearshore and offshore adventures for the most exciting fish species around. Join Capt. Barry on your next vacation and have a fun day out on the water. Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to clean your catch. All fish are taken home whole.

Spend your morning checking the bite nearshore or spend your whole day battling big fish up to 35 miles offshore. Hardcore anglers to novice fishermen, everyone is welcome to join in the adventure.

The ‘Family Ties’ is a 25’ Sea Cat boat. She was built in 1997 and has plenty of space for up to 4 anglers. The Family Ties comes powered by a 90 HP Yamaha 4-Stroke engine and can cruise at a top speed of 20 knots. She is fully rigged with electronics and professional accessories to aid your search for the fish.

Your day with Family Ties Charters will see you slow trolling for Pelagics, along with bottom fishing and fast trolling. Live bait fishing is also possible when the conditions allow.

You will be targeting Bonito, Spanish Mackerel, Kingfish, Bluefish, False Albacore, Amberjack, Barracuda, Grouper, Black Seabass, Snapper, and Mahi Mahi if you don’t want to go too far out. If you are up to a challenge, the list of your potential catches will also include Sailfish.

All you have to do is bring your family with you and hop on board. All rods, reels, tackle, lures, and licenses will be provided by the captain. Fish cleaning is not included.

Great time had by all!

Morning started off without a hitch Captain was ready to go. He had us on fish early on we caught probably 30 or so. For my boys first time charter it was perfect. Plenty of action captain was easy going and relatable. He is a 2nd generation captain and he knows these waters very well.
