Nantucket Things to Do: Fishing Spots for Families

Nantucket Island is the perfect place for you to arrange a vacation to spend time with your family. Being situated on a island located 20 miles off the coast of Massachusetts, it brings a sense of getting away from the hustle and bustle of life. The atmosphere brings a sense of excitement, being that the inhabitants still keep the island in a colonial style of living. You can find a variety of Nantucket things to do, yet the island is most known for its cruises and aquatic mammal sight-seeing tours.

Explore the Atlantic seas with your family as you go fishing on the charter boat Monomoy. Captain Josh Eldridge and his crew are sure to make you glad for choosing this fishing trip from among the many Nantucket things to do. Captain Josh is the only IGFA Certified Captain in Nantucket and a fifth generation Captain, so you couldn't be in better hands. He knows where the fish are and he is sure to take your family right to them. Whether you and your family want to relax in the enclosed cabin or you're out the deck fighting for fish, this is an adventure for you.

Captain Josh has developed a special fishing cruise called the "Critter Cruise" just for kids. You and the crew of the Monomoy go out and the kids get to watch Captain Josh throw out several fish and 'critter' traps. While the traps are catching critters, everyone grabs a pole and starts to fish. You will see what an exciting time it is when the traps are brought up; you never know what's going to be in them. Captain Josh then puts all the fish and critters in a clear tank he has set up so you can see and feel the catch! Your family gets a critter cruise t-shirt to shows friends that you had a great time. As you return from your sea voyage, you know that open arms await you in colonial style at your Nantucket Bed and Breakfast as you dock from a trip on the high seas.
