While children are welcome aboard all our charters, the trips below were created specifically to be kid-friendly! Each charter is action packed and relatively short which makes these trips ideal for children!
Family Striped Bass/Bluefish Charter
IN RESPONSE TO CURRENT STRIPED BASS POPULATION NUMBERS AND SPAWNING RATES, ALL STRIPED BASS FISHING ABOARD OUR CHARTERS WILL BE STRICTLY CATCH AND RELEASE DURING THE 2023 SEASON. THANK YOU FOR HELPING US TO PROTECT OUR ECOSYSTEMS.
This trip is a great choice for families who want to spend quality time on the water, getting a kid-friendly introduction to striped bass fishing. As on our regular Striped Bass/Bluefish Charter, families will have a blast catching striped bass along the North Shore’s rocky coast, and they will also receive private, age appropriate coaching. Techniques we may use include live bait fishing, drifting, chumming, casting lures into feeding frenzies, casting lures around structure, and more!

Family New England Lobster Tour
We own recreational lobster traps which are always a blast to check (especially for kids)! Hauling these traps, in some sense, is almost like playing the ocean’s lottery: you never know what we’re going to pull up!
On this trip, your children can help haul our traps, rubber band lobsters, and interact with whatever other marine life we find! Our traps are located only a short ride from Marblehead Harbor and this trip is sure to keep kids engaged and having fun!
DUE TO MA REGULATIONS, WE CANNOT ALLOW CLIENTS TO RETAIN LOBSTERS. THIS TRIP IS PURELY FOR A FUN AND EDUCATIONAL NEW ENGLAND EXPERIENCE š

Fun Bonus: Animal Balloons on kids trips
Since the second grade, Captain Jake has been twisting animal balloons in Marblehead as “The Balloon Dude” (formerly “The Balloon Kid”). So, upon request, Jake is happy to bring his animal balloons along on kids trips for an additional $30. The only condition is that we are mindful about our use of latex around marine environments, and that we dispose of broken balloons properly š
