About
Georgia Family Fishing Charters
Your Georgia family fishing trip can be a very rewarding and unforgettable experience. The look on your child’s or spouse’s face when they bait their own hook and catch their first fish or trophy is priceless. When fishing with young children nothing makes Captain Greg happier than to have a child catch that big fish all by themselves (or with a little help).
Captain Greg is a patient and courteous teacher and always operates with you, and your families, best interest in mind. His desire is for families to be able to kick back and relax and most importantly show their kids that fishing is about more than just catching fish. You and your family will be at ease from the time you leave the dock until the dreaded time you have to head home!
Come aboard, enjoy the day, and spend some quality time fishing on coastal Georgia’s beautiful waters.
*There is no minimum age requirement, but we ask that you honestly assess your child’s comfort level with boating. Children require constant attention while on a boat, so please no more than 2 children per adult.
