Ratings & Reviews Summary

Our family went fishing with Captain Will over Spring Break. We had such a wonderful trip! Our oldest hooked a once in a lifetime Tarpon and got to fight him to the side of the boat. Captain Will was great with all the boys and made sure everyone had a chance to get in on the fun! We can’t wait to come back again next year!

Capt. Will was awesome and helped us all have a great time! Kids had a great time as well! He taught them some casting techniques and allowed them to practice. Thank you!!

Our family went inshore fishing with captain Will and Clayton on Dec 27 as a Christmas adventure. We had a fantastic day! These guys were great! We weren’t sure what to expect as far as catching because of coming out of a cold snap but we had a nice haul of sheepshead and a great day of memory making! I would definitely recommend Family Traditions!!

Great Charter! Totally reccomend for couples, familes or friends. Capt. Will and his son were amazing. They were super attentive and involved. You can tell they are passionate about what they do. This was my girlfriend's favorite charter in SouthWest Florida. Its always fun to go fishing, but to have the opportunity to catch such respectful fish was priceless. We were blessed by the fishing gods and got a double slam!!! Thanks guys!

💯% recommend Captain Will and his crew. Our boys told them they wanted to catch snook and in no time they were reeling in these monsters. Both guys were very friendly and knowledgeable. A perfect day in the books!

Captain Will was great. We brought our granddaughter and her boyfriend fishing and he was wonderful, knowledgeable and helpful. All four of us caught multiple fish and really enjoyed our time on Captain Will's boat. We highly commend booking a charter with Captain Will.
