The Perfect First Fishing Experience on Florida’s Emerald Coast

Looking for a fun, safe, and memorable activity for your children while vacationing in Panama City Beach or 30A? Our Kids Fishing Charters are specifically designed to introduce young anglers (ages 4–10) to the excitement of fishing in a way that keeps them engaged, smiling, and wanting more.

This shorter, family-friendly fishing trip focuses on action, encouragement, and creating positive first experiences on the water.

Led by Capt. Calin, each kids fishing charter is customized for comfort, simplicity, and steady opportunities to catch fish — because for kids, excitement matters more than size.

Why Choose a Kids Fishing Trip?

Fishing with young children is different than adult charters — and we plan accordingly.

Our kids trips are designed to:

Keep trip duration shorter to match attention spans
Maximize action and bites
Use easy-to-handle equipment
Fish calm, protected waters when possible
Focus on fun over complexity

The goal isn’t just catching fish — it’s building confidence, excitement, and a love for the water.

What Will Kids Catch?

On our children’s fishing charters, the target species is Captain’s choice. This allows us to focus on what’s biting best that day to maximize opportunities and keep rods bending.

Depending on the season and conditions, kids may catch:

Redfish

Speckled Trout

Spanish Mackerel

Sheepshead

Mangrove Snapper

Ladyfish

Other fun, active inshore species

By adjusting location and technique daily, we prioritize steady action to keep kids engaged and excited throughout the trip.

A Safe & Comfortable Introduction to Fishing

Safety and comfort are always the top priorities.

Capt. Calin works directly with young anglers to teach them how to hold the rod, reel properly, and celebrate every catch — big or small.
