We offer many Family and Children friendly trips on our action pack Inshore and Near Shore trips. These are best suited for first time or younger children.
Older Children more experienced can come on any trip you as the parent feel comfortable with bringing.

There are those people that stress themselves I believe into getting sick.
Some people can not handle the boat ride and others can not handle when the boat stops.
Take your Dramamine and do not over think it.
Focus on good times and we will not be going is super rough or see if you desire more inshore style trip.

I recommend as early as possible, especially on Red Snapper trips as they fill up fast.
Captain Scott is here to make your trip exceptional so He will steer you to the right decisions.
. -
Captain Scott wants you to have a great trip. We will not jeopardize safety due to bad weather or high seas just to get the trip in.
Here at Nauti Girl Sportfishing we want repeat clients and do not go out to just earn a living.
I will always be upfront and inform you of any possible weather concerns or issues.
If the weather is bad we will first try to reschedule and if it is not possible you will get your full refund .

Cancel for free up to 7 days before the trip and receive credit back to your account.
Cancelling within 7 days of the trip you will forfeit your deposit to the guide. Day-of cancellations and no-shows will be charged the full balance of the trip to their card.
In the event of inclement weather you'll be covered by out 100% weather guarantee and you will not lose your deposit.
-
All charters are private with just your guest
We do not do split trips because they create issues on who fights the fish or gets to keep it
We ONLY run private 1 group charters
“Fishing Experience”
-
We can school you up on most fishing charters and make you an expert by the end of the charter.
Just listen to your crew and do what we tell you, especially on big fish if you desire to land them.
I will recommend that do not book a 12 Hour tuna expedition if you have never been on the ocean before.
The longer the trips the more sleep you need before, more water and snacks and more sun screen.
-
On each listed trip we basically state the normal distances and what to expect but if its calm and we can run a little further some trips we do.
-
Well unfortunately it is fishing and not catching. There are those crazy trips normally calmest day of the year that for some unseen reason they just do not bite.
We will do everything possible to not get skunked even if means running a little further or staying a little later. But I will be 100% honest there comes a point we must throw in the towel and it happens to the best of us.

Ask about our Veteran/ Military Discount of 10% at the time of booking
