William Farace's Boat Insurance for Kids Time Fishing

About the Boat and Its Coverage

Captain Billy operates Kids Time Fishing aboard a 2013 Hurricane boat (model FD 236 RE3 with a 200-horsepower engine) that is fully insured through GEICO. The insurance identification card lists William Farace as the insured boater, with coverage extending through September 2027. The boat carries water towing service through TowBoat U.S., which provides assistance up to 3,000 dollars if needed on the water.

The Hurricane is a solid, reliable vessel built for shallow-water fishing and family outings. It accommodates up to six guests comfortably and comes equipped with everything you need for a successful day on the water, including rods, reels, tackle, bait, and Florida fishing licenses.

What You'll Experience on the Water

Kids Time Fishing runs trips through the calm inshore waters and backwaters of the Ten Thousand Islands, near Naples. The 2.5-hour guided morning fishing trips focus on light-tackle techniques for Redfish, Snook, Sea Trout, Sheepshead, and Black Drum. Captain Billy designs each outing to be welcoming for children and beginners, blending actual fishing action with wildlife spotting and learning about the local ecosystem.

For families interested in more than just fishing, the 3-hour island trips combine a few hours of fishing with a stop at a nearby barrier island for shelling, swimming, and beach time. These trips let kids experience multiple sides of coastal Florida in a single adventure. All trips are catch and release, which means the fish you catch go back into the water to support the local fishery long-term.

Preparing for Your Trip

Cold bottled water is provided, and you're welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks (no hard alcohol). Wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and bring sunscreen; you'll be out on the open water. If you have your own rods or tackle preferences, let Captain Billy know when you book, though everything needed for the day is on board.

Since fishing licenses are included in the trip, there's nothing extra to arrange on that front. Children and adults alike leave with the skills and confidence to fish, a real understanding of why catch and release matters, and memories of dolphins, manatees, sea turtles, and birds they may have spotted along the way.

Why the Insurance Matters

Captain Billy's commitment to running a safe, professional operation includes maintaining full insurance coverage on the boat. The GEICO policy and the water towing service mean you can focus on the experience without worrying about the logistics of support if something unexpected happens on the water. This is standard for any reputable charter operation in Florida.

With over 41 years of fishing experience, Captain Billy knows these waters inside and out and runs every trip with safety and fun as the top priorities. Whether this is your child's first time on a boat or your family's tenth trip to the islands, Kids Time Fishing is set up to deliver a worry-free, engaging day on the water.
