4 Hr Trip - 12:00 PM on June 9, 20266 adults

We had a great time fishing with Captain Kent and his wife, Bobby, today! They were both so friendly and made us feel right at home from the start. Captain Kent knew exactly where to take us, and thanks to him we landed A king mackerel and several bonita throughout the trip. Bobby was awesome to have on board and helped keep everything running smoothly. If you’re looking for a fun day on the water with good people who know how to put you on fish, I highly recommend Captain Kent and Bobby. We made some great memories and can’t wait to book another trip with them the next time we’re in Destin!

3 Hour Kids (READ DESCRIPTION) on May 17, 20264 adults2 children

We booked with Broke Tip Charter for our first saltwater fishing trip, and it was incredible. Captain Kent and Bobbi made us feel welcome right away and were amazing with our kids (ages 9, 11, and 15) and our adult child. There were six of us total, and everyone had the chance to reel in a fish. We ended up catching four, and honestly, we were thrilled to catch anything at all since there’s never a guarantee with fishing. On top of that, they pointed out turtles, dolphins, and so many things we would’ve missed on our own. We left so happy and already know we’ll be back for a full‑day charter next time. We truly enjoyed the experience. Great people and a fantastic day on the water.

4 Hr Trip on July 19, 20264 adults

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the fishing trip. Captain Kent and the first mate were exceptionally friendly, ensuring that we had a complete experience. He diligently monitored the weather and sea conditions leading up to the day of the trip, maintaining constant communication regarding its status. During the excursion, he actively sought out promising fishing areas and enthusiastically shared in our excitement. We wholeheartedly recommend Broke Tip Charter for a personalized and experienced exploration of the Gulf during your visit to Destin.

Really great experience
6 Hr Trip on August 18, 20262 adults

Im a licensed Capt myself an an avid offshore fisherman. Kent and Bobby actually picked me up at my waterfront Airbnb. just really down to earth people that know their fishing. The boat was well equiped and ran well through some typical Florida nautical seas. Tough day of fishing but we made the best of it.

Beautiful day in the bay
3 Hour Kids (READ DESCRIPTION) on April 1, 20264 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!

Reported catch:
