Come and explore the Gulf of Mexico with Destin's premier fishing charter – Maximum Fishing Fun! Maximus is the only boat in the harbor to offer a NO FISH, NO PAY GUARANTEE. Why? Because with nearly 300 charters a year the crew has never not produced fish. It's their personal guarantee to make sure you catch fish and have fun doing it.
Maximus can go faster than virtually all other boats in the Destin fleet. You can get to the deep water in half the time or less than most other boats, to make sure you catch all the fish you can dream of. Maximus goes farther than any boat on 4 and 5-hour trips. You and your family having a day of great catching is far more important than fuel cost.
Maximum Fishing Fun aims to provide unforgettable deep sea fishing experiences by a group of seasoned captains. For Captains Justin and Chris fishing is more than a job – it is their passion. Dubbed the 'offshore battlewagon', the Worldcat 330E charter boat is powered by twin 300 HP Suzuki engines. With enough room on board, and a restroom, it gives you plenty of freedom and comfort.
Typically, your trip starts off with catching live bait as soon as you go out the pass which generally takes about 1 hour. You have the option to purchase livebait instead of catching it, if you like. Depending on how long the trip is, the livebait usually costs $60-$80. Which seems like a lot, but if you're catching it you're spending $250 per hour to catch it. So we highly recommend buying it over catching it.
See all the reviews, they explain it best! There is a reason why Maximus has more than quadruple the reviews than all other boats. Book now for an ultimate Destin fishing experience!

started off with a few different spots and caught fish immediately. We caught plenty of fish and even a shark. The captain did great sticking it out with us to reel him in. Thank you Justin for the great experience. Will book again in the future!
Fishing like it’s supposed to be. Justin put us on the fish, showed us what to do, and let us fish. This was a fishing trip, not a pleasure cruise. We caught some fish, missed some fish, lost some to sharks, and had a great time. Justin was great, and helped when help was needed, but not going to do it for you. Just right.
My son and I have fished offshore quite a bit, Captain Chris had us on fish immediately when we arrived at his spots. It was non stop action. The reviews are LEGIT, if you want a lazy day in the water do not book, if you want to do some serious fishing, have fun, and actually catch fish, it is a no brainer fish with Chris or Justin!
We took a 5 hour afternoon trip. Captain Chris led us about 20 miles out and within an hour we were catching Mahi Mahi. Overall, great experience.
My son and I had an awesome fishing trip. Chris put us right on the fish. We caught some fish, missed some fish, lost some to sharks, and had a great time. We even got to see some dolphins and had a nice hammerhead circling our boat. We will certainly be back. Thanks for a great trip!!
