Captain Kevin was the best guide we have yet! He got us on fish and was exceptionally accommodating. Not only did he get us on fish, but he taught my son the how and why behind so many fishing elements.

Captain Kevin was great. He is very knowledgeable and willing to share his experience. My friends and I had a great time on the water and caught some nice trout. I'd recommend Captain Kevin to anyone looking to catch fish and have a good time.

Half Day Trip on April 10, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

The bay was too rough, so we decided to fish in the shallow river instead. We caught plenty of fish, and my kids had a great time. Captain Kevin definitely know what he is doing and made the whole experience enjoyable for my family. We got plenty of fish for dinners.

    Capt. Kevin was amazing with my 7 year old daughter and her 8 year old cousin. His patient and playful demeanor built quick rapport with them and his calm assertiveness with the rules kept them safe. Amazing trip!

    We had a group of 4 friends out for a fishing trip and had an absolutely amazing time. Captain Kevin was friendly and great from the moment we stepped on the boat. He knew exactly where to go, and we caught a lot of fish—everyone was busy reeling them in. A huge bonus was that Captain Kevin took high quality pictures for us throughout the day, so we have some awesome photos to remember the trip. We all agreed it was a 10/10 experience, and we will be booking this charter again! Highly recommended.

    Let me start off by say….CAPT. KEVIN IS THE MAN!!! When you’re searching for your next saltwater adventure, look no further than Shallowater Bay Adventures. Capt. Kevin is just short of a Saint. He’s extremely knowledgeable about the waters, targeted species and the list goes on. If you’re looking for a family fun expedition on the water…look no further. Capt. Kevin is just what we needed! My mom, 75, and three kids, 15,15,8 were beyond thrilled of how easy going our Captain was and engaged with them like he was part of our family….and as far as I’m concerned, he is. Most of us work hard for our money and Shallowater Bay Adventures respects that fact and pays it back in spades!
