Family-Friendly Fishing Charters
A family fishing charter is the easiest way to get everyone on the water in Sarasota — even if no one has fished before. We keep our family trips in the calm, protected waters of Sarasota Bay and around Siesta Key, so the ride is smooth, the bite is steady, and the kids stay happy.
Our captains are patient, hands-on, and great with children. They’ll bait hooks, untangle lines, and teach first-timers how to cast and reel — so parents can relax and everyone gets to catch fish. Every trip is private, meaning you’re on the boat with only your own family or group.
No fishing license and no experience are required. We include everything: rods, reels, bait, tackle, ice, water, safety gear, and your Florida fishing license. Just bring sunscreen and a camera. Fish are guaranteed on every trip.

Family Fishing FAQ
Is a fishing charter safe for young kids?
Yes. We fish calm, protected waters, carry life jackets in all sizes, and our captains keep a close, kid-friendly eye on everyone aboard.
Do the kids need a fishing license?
No — your Florida fishing license is covered under our charter for the whole group.
What if my kids have never fished before?
Perfect — most of our young anglers are first-timers. Our captains teach casting, reeling, and everything else, and they’ll help land every fish.
How long is a family trip?
Our standard family-friendly inshore trip runs about 2.5 to 3 hours — long enough for lots of action, short enough for shorter attention spans.
Can we bring snacks and drinks for the kids?
Absolutely. Bring whatever food and drinks you’d like. We provide bottled water and ice.
