I went off on this excursion without much expectation. My 11 year old daughter was reluctant to participate but I enforced some mandatory fun into her life. The barometric pressure was up so there wasn’t much fish activity but Donald still knew a spot to catch some trout. Nothing noteworthy but still some fishing activity on a poor day to fish. Don, also, knew where public access restrooms where nearby. Don even knew how to perk up a tragically hip 11 year old when fishing was too boring and hot. He shifted gears from fishing guide to grandpa in an instant and had her lsughing and giggling about dolphins. We cut our ride about 45 minutes short due to rain and lightning. But, overall had an outstanding kid oriented boat trip.

Thank you
My daughter caught the first fish and her boyfriend managed to catch three. They were small, but they didn’t care. It was just us out there without a big crowd of people. The captain and his girlfriend were so friendly and helpful with catching the fish. She and I talked about teaching. She even took pictures for us to remember the trip. The price was the cheapest I found. It was the perfect way to end our vacation. We will for sure be back next summer.
We took this fishing trip with 4 kids ages 4 to 11 and all 4 caught multiple fish! Besides fishing, we saw dolphins up close, got to ride the boat fast per the 4 year olds request, and even visited the “secret potty”. Yep the potty was even a highlight. Captain and crew were so patient and kid friendly. They taught some casting and gave opportunities to take pictures with each fish caught. There were multiple high fives and hugs given. I would absolutely recommend to families with children! We did bring our own light snacks.

Thank you!
It had been raining off and on all week long so I wasnt too sure and texted the guides. He assured me it would stop and 1 hour before the trip indeed it did. I wasnt expecting anything this fun of a trip due to the rain showers. My kids absolutely loved the trip and caught plenty of fish. Without losing any of the guides equipment! Haha He and his giance were very personable and expect to tip the man because he’s worth it! What a fun experience and we will definitely book with him in the future.

Thank you!!
We had a blast with Captain Donald Roy at Gulf Island Charters! He got our 15-year-old boys reeling in exciting fish while skillfully dodging rain clouds. Bonus: we saw dolphins and enjoyed a beautiful boat ride. It was a perfect afternoon! Highly recommend Captain Donald for a fun family adventure!
Thank you !!
