Can kids go offshore fishing?
Kids are welcome on all of our charter boats. We generally recommend that kids be at least 7 years old to go on an offshore charter. For kids under 7, the near shore bottom fishing trips are more appropriate unless they have previous offshore experience. The boats do rock around offshore, so kids need to be old enough to be aware of the movement and be able to hang on and get around the boat without falling. Many times kids tend to get bored quickly, so we recommend bringing a hand held game or portable DVD player or something for them to do when the action is slow.
