Everglades Family Fishing Tour

Highlights

Description

Bring your family together for an unforgettable day on the water with the Everglades Family Fishing Tour — a private experience that combines adventure, wildlife, and laughter in Florida’s most scenic backwaters. Whether it’s your child’s first time holding a rod or you’re chasing a trophy catch, our expert captains make every trip personal and fun. The Kids & Family Fishing Tour is the perfect starting point — a relaxed 2½-hour trip through calm canals where manatees drift and birds soar overhead. You’ll learn simple catch-and-release techniques while enjoying the beauty of the Everglades. All bait, tackle, and licenses are provided, so you can focus on making memories instead of tying knots. For anglers wanting more, the Offshore Fishing Charter ventures into the Ten Thousand Islands and the Gulf. Over five hours, target tarpon, snook, redfish, and snapper with seasoned captains who know every hidden channel and tide pattern. These longer trips combine serious sport with the same welcoming atmosphere that keeps families coming back year after year. Younger guests can start small with the Everglades Kids Fish outing — a gentle 1½-hour introduction that lets children experience the thrill of reeling in their first fish. Calm waters, short travel times, and plenty of wildlife sightings make this tour a family favorite. Departing from Port of the Islands Marina in Naples, each trip includes friendly instruction, safe boats, and personalized attention. With flexible durations, professional captains, and authentic Everglades surroundings, this is more than a fishing trip — it’s a chance to connect, laugh, and share the joy of discovery on the water.
