Falmouth Family Charters is a little bit different from other Charters available in the area. Specializing in family oriented excursions that combine a little bit of everything; fishing, sightseeing, swimming and picnicking, we want you to have a good time and aim to bring smiles to your families faces! Sure we love to fish, but that's not all that the waters of Cape Cod and the Islands offer,and we want to share those experiences with you and your family aboard Scrimshaw. Since we have families, we understand the importance of YOUR family, and focus on sharing our knowledge and providing kids of all ages( this includes you adults) with an opportunity to spend a wonderful day on the water. We offer 6 hour trips that while fishing focused, provide you with an opportunity to do a little more and experience a typical Cape Cod day if you would like, or increase our range to target more species. The end goal remains the same, to pass on some of our passion and knowledge and to bring smiles to your families faces! Regardless of trip length a typical day would look something like this:
Depart at 0700 and head to one of the areas top spots and fish for Stripers, Blues,Fluke, and Seabass. We fish for a couple of hours and then head to one of the areas beautiful coves and inlets for some swimming and lunch. Favorite spots include Tashmoo, Hadleys Harbor, Cuttyhunk, Tarpaulin Cove and Oak Bluffs. Depending on the length of your trip ,head for home or visit one of Martha's Vineyards quaint villages for some shopping, a ride on the carousel, ice cream, and maybe even a cocktail! The day would then come to a close 30-45 minutes before our ETA at the home dock. Along the way learn to tie some knots, basic seamanship, how our equipment works, and how and why we are fishing for certain types of fish. Kids get to drive and parents get to relax! Or just relax and soak up the sunshine and the scenery.
