Catherine Bright5.0VerifiedBest Fishing Trip Ever!
KIDS Fishing – 2 HR - 11:30 AM on August 12, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childCaptain Jayson went out of his way to make sure our fishing charter would be the best possible fit for our family; kids ages, what they would want to fish for, explained what time would be the best as far as heat and what would be biting when. He took his time explaining the different areas and what kind of fish we were catching and even snapped a few pics for us when i was wrapped up reeling in my own fish! I would HIGHLY recommend this fishing charter. Also, do yourself a favor and book the moat time you can afford. You’re not going to want to leave after the two hour “kids trip”. Especially if you have older kids. Thanks Captain Jayson! You ROCK!!
Rachael WarrenRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFun and Friendly on Rough Waters
KIDS Fishing – 3 HR - 11:00 AM on June 5, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childWe booked our trip knowing the day call for high winds and would probably have rough water. Our Captain, Andy did a wonderful job making it an enjoyable trip. He made sure our 10 year old son was catching fish and that’s really mattered to us. The dolphin encounter made it even better. Would not hesitate to book again.
Sandra Faris5.0Verifiedgreat fishing trip for kids!
KIDS Fishing – 3 HR - 5:00 PM on July 15, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 childrenThe boys and their dads all had a great time! They each caught multiple fish of a variety, different fish than those caught in the river waters at home. Great trip, especially for kids.

What a memorable trip we had! Everything was so well organized and well taken care of. Captain Taylor did an outstanding job of teaching our 9 year-old all about fishing in the Gulf. What fish were there, fish columns, and so much more. Great customer service and safety information. When the trip was over our boy told Taylor, “When we go again, we are booking with you”! Priceless experience…
Captain Jayson is a complet pro, we took the 3 hour kids fishing trip and he had fish on the lines within 20 min of leaving the dock. We found some Grouper and Snapper and then some catfish for a good ending. We will be seeing him again soon, thank you!

Family had an awesome time! Caught 12 fish. Caught some fish we hadnt expected. Captain Taylor was fantastic! Boat was comfortable and had everthing we needed. Great chance for kids wanting to have fun and catch fish. If booking in July bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. Highly recommend this trip!
