Great 1st fishing trip for kids!
4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 7, 20262 adults4 children

We had a great day fishing with captain George! Our group consisted of two adults and 4 little fishmen, ranging in age from 8 to 13. George was great with teaching them technique and strategy for hooking up on flounder for these first timers. Our trip took us to some good spots just inshore form from the Indian River inlet. We had a great experience filled with memories that will last a lifetime. Also we greatly appreciated the surprise at the end of our trip with a stop to check captain Georges crab pots. Captain George was great with the kids taking time to share his experience and expertise on the water. Thanks again Captain George!

i booked a trip as a late birthday gift for my 8 year old son with my nephew and their dads, they had an absolute blast! My husband said the captain was great with the kids and they were catching fish which kept them active. They asked if they could go again next year for their birthday. thanks again!

Awesome trip
4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 29, 20262 adults2 children

Captain George provided a wonderful family trip. We crabbed, fished, and clammed. Some captains tolerate kids, he provided a wonderful kid friendly trip and seemed to genuinely enjoy having kids aboard. I would highly recommend him for any charter trip, especially family trips!
