Discount Fishing

Families who wish to go on a fishing trip with kids is recommended to hire a private charter. You’ll find private charters offering reasonable costs. A private charter will make sure that your children will receive the attention they need. In terms of the time, you don’t have to stay out all throughout the day. You can spend four hours to catch fish without making your kids feel too exhausted. Many private charters will provide a better price when they think they can schedule another group for a tour later in the day.

Snacks To Bring

You should bring snacks and drinks for your children. It’s salty and hot in the ocean and you must keep your kids well hydrated all throughout the deep sea fishing Myrtle Beach trip. Even if drinks are included in the tour, it’s still best to bring your own. Avoid eating heavy breakfast before the tour. Just keep your meal light as well as hydrating.

Safety Must Come First

You and your kids must wear a life jacket. It’s not option especially among kids. Don’t board the private charter unless all of you are wearing a life jacket.

Sea Sickness

You must be prepared for seasickness whether the water is calm or not. Treat any queasiness with ginger tea. Others prefer Dramamine and even sea sick bracelets.

Toddler Fun

As long as you prepare for the trip well and you’re feeling happy, your kids will be too. Make sure you have enough toddler snacks and be ready to talk to your kids about sea life. Never leave them out of your sight and always remind them to stay away from the edge.

Tipping

Never forget to tip the captain as well as his first mate. It most cases, crew live on tips and that’s why they do their very best to keep their clients happy throughout the trip. It’s good to give them a tip that ranges between 15% and 20% of the price you paid for the charter fishing trip. You can bring drinks for the captain and the crew too.
