Outing Highlights
Four generations of charter expertise
Captain Jay Trochesset continues a family legacy aboard the Familynn; his experience and recognition — including a People’s Choice nod and induction into the IGFA Hall of Fame in 2016 — shape an informed, steady day on the water.
Expect action 10–20 miles offshore
Depending on the season the charter pushes 10–20 miles out, where the day’s targeted species often include redfish, Jack crevalle and Spanish mackerel — the kinds of runs and strikes that make an eight-hour trip feel packed with moments.
Ready-to-fish gear and comforts
Trips come with rods, reels, tackle, lures, a first mate, two Yeti coolers and ice, plus the fishing license — the operator outfits the boat so anglers need only bring food, drinks and sun protection.
What the day feels like
What eight hours on the Familynn feels like
