Family Fishing Trips

We believe that any trip you can bring your kids on is a great trip. Most of us at Shallow Water Expeditions have kids ourselves, and we know how important it is to introduce young anglers to the outdoors and how special those first catches can be.

Whether you’ve got toddlers, teens, or grandparents along for the ride, our Family Fishing Charters are designed to be flexible, fun, and low pressure. Think calm water, easy casting, lots of laughs, and guides who understand that attention spans come in all sizes.

“We’re not grumpy old salts we’re parents, too. We know how to keep things light, safe, and fun.”

Where We Fish

30A & Santa Rosa Beach

For families vacationing in the 30A area, our top recommendation is the Bay Boat Half Day Trip. These charters run in the shallow, calm waters of Choctawhatchee Bay, where there’s plenty of room to fish, explore, and have fun without going far from shore.

Want something shorter and even more laid-back? Try our 2-Hour Afternoon Trip perfect for families who want a light activity with flexible timing. These often include dolphin sightings, beach stops, or even a swim.

Book Your Trip

Panama City Beach

In PCB, the same trip options shine the Half Day Bay Trip is an easy win for families. It’s a simple way to get kids on the water without long travel times or rough seas. Our guides in Panama City Beach specialize in low-stress trips that match your family’s rhythm, not a rigid schedule.

The 2-Hour Afternoon Trip is also popular here especially for younger families who want a post-lunch adventure. Just enough time to catch a few fish, see some wildlife, and get back before dinner.
