Clients Say

Awesome fun day! Captain and Deckhand were both great. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We caught lots of fish and even got to eat some freshly fried on the ride back in. Will definitely go again.

Brandy K Riley

Went on a sunset dolphin cruise for a girl’s getaway. It was absolutely amazing! The captain and crew were so personable and professional. We took pictures at sunset and they even helped us get the perfect shot! It was incredibly enjoyable and will absolutely be planning future events with this team.

Family Traditions has a great staff and amazing boats! My husband has gone on multiple deep sea fishing trips and last summer we got a pontoon boat for the day and we all had a great time! Thanks so much for making our experience memorable!
