Captain Harvey has years of hands-on experience teaching kids how to fish, both as a Captain and as a dad and grandfather. He specializes in safe, patient, and fun kids fishing charters designed to introduce children to saltwater fishing in a calm, controlled environment.

All kids fishing charters take place in the protected waters of the Intracoastal Waterway and nearby backwaters around Ocean Isle Beach, Holden Beach, and Sunset Beach — no offshore runs or rough seas.

The 2-hour kids fishing charter is ideal for young anglers with little or no experience. Captain Harvey provides all bait, tackle, licenses, and instruction, keeping the focus on hands-on fishing and steady action without long idle time.

These trips are perfect for children ages 4–12 and are structured to hold attention, limit sun exposure, and maximize fun. Everything is included — just show up and fish.



What Will Kids Catch on a Kids Fishing Charter?

Kids fishing charters focus on species that are common, cooperative, and fun to catch in the calm inshore waters around Ocean Isle Beach. Depending on the season and conditions, young anglers commonly catch pinfish, croaker, pufferfish, sheepshead, black drum, flounder, and redfish.

The goal is steady action and hands-on fishing, not trophy hunting. Captain Harvey targets areas where kids can feel bites quickly, stay engaged, and safely reel in fish they can handle on their own or with light assistance.

Every trip is different, but families can expect real fishing, real catches, and plenty of opportunities for kids to learn, participate, and have fun on the water.
