Kids Fishing Club Charter
Where the love of fishing begins – one adventure at a time.
Before there was the Kids Fishing Club Summer Camp, there was this: a hands-on, on-the-water charter designed specifically for kids aged 8–14. Whether it’s their very first cast or their first time on a boat, our Kids Fishing Club Charter is the perfect introduction to fishing, boating safety, and the wonders of the Potomac River.

🛥️ A Safe and Supportive Setting
We keep these charters small and personal – just your group on board. Whether it’s a birthday surprise, a first fishing trip, or a screen-free weekend activity, our focus is on building confidence, patience, and joy in every child.
All crew are CPR/First Aid certified, and the trip is tailored to each child’s experience level.
💬 Why Parents Love It
“This is what got my son off the iPad and into nature.”
“We booked this charter and ended up signing up for the summer camp too!”
Parents often tell us that this is more than a fishing trip – it’s a turning point. A moment where their child discovers a passion, gains new skills, and feels a real connection to the outdoors.
📸 Optional Add-On: The GoPro Experience
Want to relive the big catch or that first “FISH ON!” moment? Add our GoPro package to receive a short, edited highlight video of your child’s fishing adventure, shot using our Insta360 camera for a cinematic feel.
