About Your Trip

Get ready for a fun-filled day on the water with The Vacation Trip! This family-friendly fishing adventure is perfect for creating lasting memories with the kids or squeezing in a quick fishing fix during your getaway.

With calm waters and plenty of action, you’ll be targeting a variety of exciting species, including Grunts, Porgies, Lane Snapper, and Hogfish. Depending on the season, you might also hook into some hard-fighting Spanish Mackerel and King Mackerel, adding even more thrill to your trip!

Your adventure comes fully equipped with everything you need for a successful day on the water. We provide top-quality fishing rods, reels, tackle, and all the ice you’ll need to keep your catch fresh. At the end of the trip, we’ll even clean your fish for you if you’d like to take your haul home for dinner!

Our comfortable center console boat offers plenty of space for the whole family and is equipped with a bathroom for your convenience. Feel free to bring your own drinks, snacks, and sunscreen to keep everyone comfortable throughout the trip. You’re welcome to bring your own alcohol as well—just be sure it’s not in glass containers.

No need to worry about fishing licenses—we’ve got you covered! All you need to bring is your excitement for a day full of fun, fish, and unforgettable family memories. Let’s get you out on the water!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 2,000+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
