About:
Want to get out on the water and mix it up a bit? No problem! Opt for one of our Family Fun Days. A little bit of fishing, followed by a little bit of exploring the shallows of Molasses Key, just a quarter mile from the Seven Mile Bridge. We anchor up on a sand flat, and you hop out of the boat to wade and splash around in the warm waters, with an eye out for starfish and small rays.
This is a great option for families with very small children whose attention span is limited to a short amount of fishing, or for adults who’d like to enjoy an in-water cocktail to top off their fishing trip. We highly recommend water shoes to protect your feet from the small pieces of coral and shell present.
What to Bring
- Food and beverages for the cooler
- Water shoes to protect your feet from the coral
- Tips for the captain if you have a great time!
