Book Your Family Fishing in Maine Trip This Year!
Our family charters run from June through early October, when Maine’s waters are warm, calm, and full of fish. It’s the perfect way to soak up the sunshine and give your kids a real Maine memory, not something they will forget five minutes after it’s over.
Fishing Should Be Fun, and We Make Sure It Is
Fishing can feel intimidating if you have never done it before, especially with younger kids. But that’s where we shine. We make everything relaxed, approachable, and easy to enjoy so that you can have fun with rods, bait, and the open water.
We will show your family fishing in Maine, with expertise on how to hold a rod, cast a line, and reel in a catch safely. There’s nothing quite like the look on a child’s face when they catch their first fish, and we have seen it happen hundreds of times.
All Ages Welcome. All Experience Levels Too.
Our charters are perfect for kids as young as 4 or 5 and up. Parents, grandparents, and even family friends are welcome to join. You don’t need any gear or experience; we provide everything, including guidance with patience and lots and lots of encouragement.
These aren’t intense fishing trips meant for professionals. They are memory-making mornings or afternoons where families connect, laugh, and maybe even catch dinner.
Build Your Own Custom Coastal Adventure
Not every trip has to be about family fishing in Maine. If you want to enjoy Maine's beautiful coastline, see wildlife, or visit different harbors, we can help. Our "Build Your Own Adventure" trip is a private 2.5-hour boat ride where you choose what to do. We've had trips that include lighthouse tours, sunset drinks, puffin watching (weather allowing), and family picnics on quiet islands.
Want to swim in a calm bay or eat lunch at your favorite restaurant by the water? Just tell us! Captain Ben will work with you to plan the best day based on what your group wants to do. The boat is all yours, and we're here to make it a great experience.
FAQs
How far in advance should we book?
We always recommend booking as early as you can, especially in the busy summer season, like July and August. A week in advance is ideal to lock in your preferred time, but don’t worry if you are booking at the last minute. If we have an opening, we’ll do our best to get you on the water. Just give us a call or message us, and we will see what we can work out. We will never make you feel rushed. Contact us to learn more details.
Can we take photos or videos during the trip?
Of course! This is your adventure, and we want you to remember it. Take as many photos or videos as you like. Just make sure your phone or camera is protected from spray or splashes. If you would like help, your captain can snap a few group pictures along the way. We love seeing your moments, so if you share them on social media, feel free to tag us.
