Private Charters - TripShock’s Official Fishing Guide

Official Guide (Home) > Private

A Private Fishing Charter is a great way to experience your vacation destination in a completely new and exciting way. Imagine hitting the beautiful open water, zooming across the sea, and bringing home fish tails and fish tales to share with your loved ones!

What sets a Private Charter apart from other Fishing Charters is that it will be only you, your guests, the captain and (most of the time) the first mate on board. This makes for the most private and personal experience. Most Private Fishing Charters will have a maximum capacity of 3-6 anglers, and the price is per hour, with a minimum of 4 hours.

Kids Fishing Charter

Most Private Fishing Charters do not allow children under a certain age, which is why captains have created fishing excursions specifically for the junior anglers. Kids Fishing Charters combine fishing and education, creating the perfect inshore trip for children ages 3 and up.
