We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Family Friendly Charters and Capt. Nick! He was punctual, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. Since he’s a native to the area, he also shared so much fascinating local history, which we really enjoyed. His knowledge of the backwaters was impressive, and he seemed to know all the secret spots! He was also incredibly accommodating when we had to adjust our trip several times due to weather. That flexibility made the experience even better. We enjoyed every minute of our trip, but my favorite part was visiting a beautiful, secluded beach to shell—and the shells were shelling! I even found an amazing horse conch, which I’ll be including in the review photos. 🐚 We highly recommend Family Friendly Charters with Capt. Nick. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, personable, and accommodating captain who truly knows the area, this is the charter for you!
