a Special-Eyes day with the family
on September 14, 2019
We took the whole family on a charter with Special -Eyes Charters. The three children range in age between 7 and 14. What an absolutely great time we all had!! The boat and crew are very child friendly! We laughed until we cried, the memories we made will be with us forever! What a great set up Special Eyes has. All we did was show up and they did the rest, from putting us on fish, educating us on the fish we caught and techniques we used to sending us home with bags and bags full of delicious fillets!! The kids have not stopped talking about our trip and we all cant wait to go again. Thank you very much for a Special Eyes day with the family!!!
