The kids didn’t actually aim the cannons at each other but they did get wet due the to wind blowing the spray. As a “surprise” for the kids, once closer to harbor they turned on water cannons on the front of the boat for the kids to take turns with. On the way back they brought up a lobster pot with a lobster and crabs inside and explained everything to the kids. I know my boys were mostly interested in seeing the fish come up and would always move to see who ever was reeling in a fish. It might be because of the 30 people on the boat about a third were parents sharing fishing poles with younger children. Also none of the lines ever tangled with each other, which I've heard is a problem with other party boats. They will clean all of the fish for you that you decide to keep. The crew was very helpful and I was glad to say that I never had to actually touch a fish only bait. In our group of 7 people (4 fishing poles) we all caught fish. Once at anchor we managed to catch some fish. We tried drift fishing at first but we drifted too much so they had to drop anchor, a process that my boys enjoyed watching.

They explain everything very clearly and offer suggestions on how to help the kids drop the line. They do not go very far out, maybe about 20 minutes so the wait to fish is not very long. On the way out to the fishing spot, they let the children take turns “driving the boat” in the wheel house, a great photo opportunity. The crew consisted of the captain and two crew members. When we returned for the next trip the sea was much calmer. We rebooked for a 9am trip after we were told that usually the sea is calmer in the morning. After we saw other bigger deep sea fishing boats returning to dock also we were glad they turned around. So we turned around and they refunded everyone's money. As we headed out the first time it was windy and the waves were high, the kids were enjoying the bouncy ride but the captain decided that it would be too rough for fishing once we got out.

The woman who answers the phone was very helpful and understanding with all of our questions.

We took our two sons ages 5 and 7 plus their cousin age 6 and Grandmother on the 9 am trip and everyone had a great time. We will definitely make an effort again the next time we visit. If we stayed longer at the Cape, we wanted to do the trip again. $25 per person for two hours, totally worth the price. Very informational for the kids and for some of us adults :-) The price was reasonable as well. In addition at the end of the trip, they pull up a lobster trap and go over what they have caught. They have excellent mates on the ship to help each and everyone on the ship with letting their fish line down into the water, removing the fish once caught and adding bait back onto your hook. Although catered to kids, the adults get to fish too.

They got to fish and if what they caught was of legal size, they get to keep the fish. They get to fish on the boat and the trip is a total of 2 hours which was perfect. This is a charter boat fishing trip that is catered to the kids. After reading the brochure, I thought it was a wonderful idea.

My daughter found the brochure on Cap'n Kids Fishing Adventures and said she wanted to do it. We went to Cape Cod for a few days with family.
