Broke Tip Charter is a family-owned and operated company that specializes in Gulf fishing trips. It is run by a husband and wife team, who love being on the water and want you to have a great time.
We will have the boat ready to go when you get there. Captain Kent will go over any safety concerns and answer any questions you have before we leave the dock.
Your boat for the day will be a comfortable 29' Luhrs. She is a beautiful vessel with a flybridge, a cabin, and a toilet. There is enough room for up to 6 anglers to fish, relax, and enjoy their day. Also, there's plenty of shade and space for enjoying the ride. The boat comes powered by twin inboard Yanmar Turbo diesel engines, which contributes greatly to your comfort and ensures cruising with ease. The boat is fully outfitted with everything you need for a successful fishing trip.
With Broke Tip Charter, you will be able to fish for Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper, Spanish and King Mackerel, Barracuda, Amberjack, Triggerfish, Wahoo, Grouper, Redfish, Trout, and a number of other species. Methods include trolling, bottom fishing, tight-lining live bait, or sight fishing.
Trips include dead bait or live bait (depending on availability), tackle, ice, licenses, and a complimentary fish cleaning and bagging service. You are welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks with you.
Please note departure times are flexible and will be discussed with the captain prior to the trip. If you need a certain departure time, this can also be arranged.

Captain Kent is the man
5 Hr Trip – Shark on June 25, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child
Captain Kent called several days before the trip to find out exactly what we were looking for. I told him my teenage daughter really wanted to catch a shark so she could have a better picture than the boys have. He said we'll get it done. He called twice more before the trip. When we got there he and his son Dallas were as nice as good be. We went to, I think, 5 spots but had no luck. I could tell he was getting a little frustrated with us having no luck. Tried trolling while going to one more spot. No luck trolling either just trying to catch anything. Finally at a sandbar he spotted a shark and dropped anchor. It was kind of fun listening to him encouraging the shark to bite. And it finally happened. Got a great video for my daughter and a once in a lifetime memory. Worth every penny.
I really don't think you can go wrong by booking with Captain Kent!

Beautiful day in the bay
3 Hour Kids (READ DESCRIPTION) on April 1, 2026 • 4 adults
We had a great time with Captain Kent and Bobbi. We specifically asked to stay in the bay even though this boat is clearly optimized in the gulf. We appreciated him accommodating us and enjoyed beautiful weather, knowledgable guides, dolphin and sea turtle sightings, and the comfortable shade on the boat. We caught enough Spanish Mackerel to feed us for lunch which made our son quite happy. Thanks for the fantastic experience!

4 Hr Trip on April 2, 2026 • 2 adults
Fishing with them is like fishing with your friends. They put us on fish right away. Unfortunately, my son's stomach had other ideas. Kent and Bobbi were extremely accomodating and tried to move into the bay where it was much calmer. Nonetheless, his stomach was passed the point of no return. I would definitely recommend them to anyone of my friends and I will for sure be back on our next vacation.

growing up in the area, i didn’t want to have to drive to Destin to go fishing & found Capt. Kent in Niceville through the FishingBooker app. He lived up to & exceeded the reviews.
