About
This tour is for a family looking to do little of everything! This three hour private tour will allow for about one hour on the beach collecting shells as well as one hour fishing in our local intercostal waters. Perfect for young kids and dads who want to wet a line, but also allows for time on the beach exploring and collecting shells! Since this tour is private you have the option of extending your time on the beach instead of fishing and vice versa.
What's Included
Everything is included! For fishing we will have fishing rods, tackle, and bait. On the shelling side we will have buckets as well as bags for you to take the shells home in. The boat is also equipped with a large yet cooler that will be filled with ice and water.
