Have you ever experienced deep-sea fishing? Join Hearts For Sight for this exciting trip!

Hearts For Sight invites you to join us on a private chartered boat trip on the Betty O to either experience fishing for the first time or enjoy fishing and competing with fellow blind and visually impaired participants to see who can catch the most fish!

As Hearts For Sight promotes a healthy lifestyle through fitness and healthy eating, we also encourage some playtime. Thanks to the generous grant from Adams Legacy Foundation, we invite you to a free fishing trip with HFS. Yes, you read that right…this is a free fishing trip! Food and drink on the boat are also covered.

This trip is limited to 35 participants: 25 blind/visually impaired participants and 10 sighted volunteers. First come, first served.

As with any HFS event, please follow the RSVP process by clicking the link below that applies to you. Please note: Participants or volunteers bringing a guest must remember to send your guest’s full name and contact details. A deposit of $25 per person will reserve your spot.

Important Notes:

• Fishing License: Everyone aboard the boat is required to have a fishing license. Anglers aged 16 years and up must have a fishing license. A one-day fishing license costs $20.26. VIP participants may apply for a FREE fishing license with the Department of Fish and Wildlife. Download the application for a FREE fishing license here. Read the instructions carefully and gather the required documents to submit the application. Good news! The application form can now be submitted online. This is a lifetime free fishing license; you just need to purchase the ocean enhancement validation for $7.05 annually for deep-sea fishing.
• Equipment: No equipment? No worries. Loaner rods and reels are available.
• Sighted Volunteers: Sighted volunteers are needed to assist our VIP participants.
