Captain Brad and Mate Josh were great with us and the 2 kids we brought along. My girls are 3 and 7 and loved the trip. We caught a ton of fish (mostly small that were returned) and got to even reel in a few large ones for dinner. It definitely kept their attention and was educational - I think we caught around10 different kinds of fish in the 4 hour trip. Motion sickness did a couple of us in, but we stuck it out and were happy we did. Captain Brad was flexible and told us several times that he would do whatever we asked of him. Looking forward to fishing with them again!
