Take The Kids On A Pirate Cruise

Take The Kids On A Pirate Cruise

 

Every Thursday evening Al Gauron has a special Pirate Cruise. We have personally taken this cruise with our granddaughter the last 2 years and it’s definitely going to be an annual event for us. Fun was had by all adults and children onboard. All the children get an eye patch and a sword, and they supply huge water guns for fending off the pirates that try to board the ship. It’s a well run event.

Hampton Beach fishing boats

Al Gauron Deep Sea Fishing & Whale Watching has been a family-owned business in operation for over 75 years. Captain Al Gauron started taking people recreational fishing in the summer of 1934. He had two boats operating by the 1950’s, and along with the fishing business his family grew with four sons: Ricky, Rocky, Randy, and Ronny.  Al built a fishing empire which is now being passed on to the next generation.
