Youth and Kids Charter Fishing Trip Shirts for Family Bookings

Youth and kids charter fishing trip shirts are the easiest revenue add-on a charter operation can offer. Family bookings with kids almost always order matching shirts, and the youth shirts are usually purchased alongside the adult shirts in the same checkout. The catalog covers ages 4 to 14 with both cotton and performance fabric options. Here is the practical lineup.

The Youth Product Options in the Charter Merch Catalog

Product	VIP base	Best use
Youth Airlume cotton tee	$19.88	Standard youth souvenir shirt
Youth moisture-wicking performance tee	$23.88	For kids actually fishing on the trip
Youth moisture-wicking performance long sleeve	$29.88	Cold-morning or sun-protection layer for kids
Youth hoodie	$36.88	Family group hoodie option for cold-weather trips
Youth crewneck sweatshirt	$33.88	Cold-weather alternative to hoodies

All youth items use the same custom design capability as adult items. Same logos, same designs, scaled to fit the youth print area.

When to Offer Youth Merch in the Booking Flow

Youth merch sells best when offered alongside adult merch at the same touchpoints:

• Booking confirmation email: include youth sizing in the merch promo so parents see it from the start
• Family product listings: list adult and youth as size options on the same product page when possible
• Pre-trip reminder: 14 days before the trip, prompt parents to order matching family shirts including kid sizes
• Dockside display: youth shirt sample alongside the adult sample so kids see they have an option too

The simplest workflow: list the family group shirt with both adult and youth size options on the same product page so parents can mix and match the order.

Design Considerations for Youth Charter Shirts

Youth designs work best when they match the adult version exactly. The whole point of the matching family shirt is that the kid wears the same design as their parent in the photo. Three design notes:

• Print scales down naturally: the same artwork prints proportionally smaller on youth sizes, no separate design file needed
• Avoid overly dense back prints: a busy back graphic that works on an adult XL looks crowded on a youth small
• Test youth sample first: order one youth shirt to verify the print scale before launching the youth option for the season

Most charter operators that test youth shirts find the print quality and scale work cleanly on the first run.

Pricing Youth Merch in Line With Adult

Price youth tees about $4 to $6 below adult tees. The base cost is similar but customer expectation is that kid sizes price slightly under adult. A typical pricing structure:

• Adult premium cotton tee: $34
• Youth Airlume cotton tee: $28 to $30
• Adult performance long sleeve: $44
• Youth performance long sleeve: $38 to $40

This pricing structure maintains margin while matching parent expectations on kid-sizing pricing.
