FAMILY FISHING TRIPS – 6 months to 88 years
Our family fishing trips are designed to create a private, enjoyable experience where families can learn about and explore the joys of fishing together. One price covers everyone and everything.
Our captain and deckhand will assist you with baiting, casting, and, hopefully, de-hooking your catch. If your catch meets the size requirements and you want to take it home for dinner, we will also filet it for you.
It is a fun experience for the whole family. We have had several family trips, and the joy on everyone's faces is contagious!
Private Excursion – ONLY YOUR GROUP
Refreshments, snacks, and lunch are included on all fishing excursions. Our 2018 Misty Harbor Tritoon offers comfort and ample space to move around while you catch fish! It features a shade cover, two swim decks for casting, and added stability with three pontoons. Feel free to bring adult beverages; we will store them in one of three iced coolers.
Gear, bait, and licenses are all provided, along with gloves, so you can handle everything confidently without any worries.
Don't forget to bring your towel, sunscreen, and smiles; we'll take care of the rest for you and your crew!
