Kid-Friendly Fishing Trip
This trip is perfect for families with a focus on kid fishing. We will target mangrove snapper and trout for non-stop action so the kids have an exciting and fun time. Fishing will be mainly in the shallows and flats where the water is very calm and the boat is stable, minimizing seasickness. You will also have an opportunity to hang out at a popular local sandbar so the kids can cool-off in the water.
