We had an absolutely fantastic time on this fishing charter with our 6 and 9-year-old kids! From the moment we got on board, the captain made the experience easy, fun, and stress-free—especially for us as parents bringing little ones.

He was incredibly patient and hands-on with the kids, helping them bait the hooks, cast their lines, and release the fish. Our daughter was thrilled to catch a flounder, and there were plenty of fish biting for everyone. He took us to a great spot where the action was steady, which kept the kids engaged the whole time.

We parents even got to fish and enjoy the trip ourselves, which isn’t always the case with young kids in tow! It was the perfect balance of learning, excitement, and fun for the whole family.

Highly recommend this charter for anyone—especially families looking to create lasting memories on the water. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Talk about an adventure and a fish story that doesn’t need any embellishments, because that is what we got with Captain Harvey. Our trip started with two older teens joking that the 12 yr old had to wear a life jacket due to boating laws, but the youngest took it with grace and carried on.  We went out to catch whatever was biting and teaching the older boys how not to just feed the fish but to actually hook them and catch the fish. About 30 minutes into fishing the youngest hooked a massive fish. After about an hour of fighting,  we discovered he hooked an estimated 6.5 foot 250 lbs nurse shark on tackle that was on 15 lb fishing line. Come to find out that all of the biggest fish Captain Harvey caught was by 12 year olds wearing that life jacket. Now the older boys want to go back out and wear that life jacket. If given the requirement or opportunity to wear the Lucky life jacket,  I would recommend wearing it!

We had an awesome time with Salty Dawg Fishing Charter. Captain Harvey was great with my two daughters (ages 6 and 4) — he probably answered a million of their questions and never missed a beat. Super patient and clearly loves having kids on board. We were getting bites the whole time and caught plenty of fish. It was the perfect intro to fishing for them. Highly recommend Captain Harvey if you’re looking for a fun and easygoing trip.

We booked a two-hour inshore fishing trip with Captain Harvey, and it was fantastic! Before the trip, his communication was excellent. He answered all our questions quickly and made sure we had everything we needed for a great experience. Once we were out on the water, we started fishing right away and caught fish within the first 5-10 minutes. Captain Harvey was super helpful with our youngest, making sure they had a chance to fish while my wife and I could also enjoy the experience. He was great with the kids, patiently answering all their questions. We had a wonderful time with Captain Harvey and Salty Dog Fishing and would definitely book again. Highly recommend!

Weather is unpredictable, but Captain Harvey is an expert in the area and made sure we found great spots and was able to get us there quickly and safely so our family time fishing was memorable and fun!  We caught a variety of local fish and our experience was memorable.  He provided all the equipment and bait with comfortable seating. If you’re looking for a family fishing experience with kids this is the one to book.
