South Florida and good fishing go together like bread and butter or strawberries and champagne. This is why when you decide to go fishing you need to look for a fishing tour operator who knows what he is doing.
Ethan Weitz Chartered Tours certainly fills the bill on that count. Guided by its founder and president, Ethan H. Weitz, this company is a little different however in that in order to be able to hire their services you have to be a school, a charity, a non-profit organisation or a fund aimed at helping underprivileged members of society.
This very unique approach to doing business has resulted in Ethan Weitz Chartered Tours to be picked up and highlighted as a model for doing business in a highly ethical way. At a time when most business concerns are struggling to find a commercial business model that allows them to successfully integrate their services in the community Ethan H Weitz’s company succeeds almost without trying.
This year they are again focussing on taking out new fishing trips with underprivileged children in South Florida. Summer is a particularly suitable time of the year for taking out children on the water. The weather is nice, the sea is calm, there is hardly any wind and the experience itself can be sublime.
“We try to choose our time carefully,” explained Ethan H. Weitz recently, “a sea trip for children not used to the sea works better when the elements are in our favour. It makes for an overall better experience and these children find it more enjoyable when they don’t have to get used to choppy seas and rolling decks.”
With more fishing trips planned for this summer Ethan Weitz Chartered Tours is going to be in demand which is great news for its founder, Ethan H. Weitz. “A successful trip is the result of careful preparation and a lot of hard work, but it pays off handsomely in terms of the enjoyment it brings to those we take out on the day,” he says.
