Family Fun Day
Barrier Island EcoTours
Immerse your family in the pristine beauty of our salt marshes and barrier islands on a private boat excursion. Your naturalist guide engages your family in learning about the marine life you encounter along the way as you pull crab traps and throw cast nets. Spend time dolphin watching, fishing, crabbing, and exploring Capers Island. Simply charter the boat and guide by the hour, and all equipment and activities are included in the hourly rate.
If your family likes to fish or wants to learn to fish, this is the trip for you. Our experienced guides are great with all skill levels and will keep the kids entertained catching a variety of fish in the calm waters of the salt marsh including: sea trout, red fish, whiting, sharks, rays, croaker, pinfish, sheepshead and many more. You may choose to fish for just part of the trip or the whole time.
You may even choose to end the trip with a Lowcountry boil or hamburgers and hot dogs grilled on the beach. We always bring an ice-cold watermelon for extra refreshment! Your kids are sure to come home with a wealth of knowledge about marine ecosystems and fun new skills such as fishing, crabbing, and cast netting. You are welcome to bring your own food and coolers.
