Kids Fishing Excursions
Small-group fishing trips for ages 11-15, built around real time on the water, safe boat habits, hands-on fishing skills, and clear parent communication.
Program Overview
Three Days Of Focused Fishing For Each Group
Each group gets a three-day sequence with one captain and one deckhand. The week starts close to land with comfort on the water, bottom fishing, and gear handling, then builds toward trolling and a full shark-focused day.
All rods, reels, bait, tackle, and life jackets are provided. Participants may bring their own properly fitted life jacket if they prefer.
Safety First
All participants must wear a USCG-approved life jacket while on board. The captain makes final weather, routing, and safety calls.
Small Groups
Each group is limited to 6 participants, keeping the deck organized and giving every kid time on the rod.
