My son and I booked the 7 hour trip with Captain Steve and First Mate Steve.  We couldn’t have asked for a better fishing trip.  Captain Steve kept us on the fish and First Mate Steve worked non-stop to keep us fishing.  Both were very knowledgeable and a joy to be around.  For sure this is a day we both will remember for the rest our lives.  Should we ever fish Destin again I couldn’t image booking a trip with anyone else.

Thank you for both for an awesome day of fishing and a memory we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
Your friends,

We scheduled an 8 hour trip on the Lucky Lina a few months in advance.  We contacted Steve Lathi a couple of days before the trip to confirm everything and the boarding time.  Everything went off without a hitch.  We really enjoyed both the boat and crew.  First mate Steve (same first name as the Captain) was phenomenal.  We started out catching live bait and then trolled a while and caught a nice King Mackerel right off the bat.  This fish are great eating with a nice white meat when grilled or blackened.  Don’t let the name scare you off!  We also caught a nice Bonita quickly and while they are not great to eat they are fun to catch.  Once we stopped and bottom fished a couple of spots, but Triggerfish were hitting too quickly to waste too much time on.  Unfortunately, the season for them ended on 5/12/2019.  Captain Steve moved quickly to get us on some fish we could keep, but unfortunately we ran into some mechanical issues which cut our trip short.  However, the Captain got us on another boat, the Great Escape with Captain Jason and we had an excellent trip with him as well.  All in all I would definitely recommend Captain Steve Lathi and the Lucky Lina and Captain Jason and the Great Escape.  Both are eager and able to put your crew on the fish and keep you on them all day.  Great boats and great Captains with exceptional first mates, Barney is the first mate with the Great Escape.

Went on a 5 hour trip on the Lucky Lina with two adults and three young fishermen aged twelve and under and could not of had a better experience.  Mother Nature wasn’t forgiving with the waves, but Captain Steve put on us on the fish none the less.  We caught around 30 fish with 15 being keepers.  Triggerfish, Porgies, Red (which we had to throw back, unfortunately, since it was a rather large one), White and Vermillion Snappers and an Ocean Perch were all caught.  1st Mate/Deckhand Steve was great with the kids and patient with the adults.  Very knowledgeable of the area and phenomenal with a fillet knife.  These guys were great!!!

This trip was made kinda last minute and considering it’s febuary 16 in the middle of winter was a little worried about what we would be able to get into. Capt Steven put us on the fish the second we got to the spot we caught a number one white snapper, red snapper, triggers, and amber jack.
Unfortunately some of the fish we out of season so we Did a good bit of catch and release, but non the less the best trip I’ve been on great crew and Capt. Lots of first time anglers on out boat and the deck hand husseled the whole time teaching and help out with fish. 10/10 for boat, equipment, knowledge, and crew. Would recommended this crew and Capt to any body from seasoned anglers to first times! Thanks for the awsome trip!

We had 4 adults on this 10-hour offshore trip.  The crew and boat were excellent and had plenty of room while being able to escape a rain shower or the sun.  After catching out bait, we headed out through a patch of red tide as the crew frantically raced to save our bait, which they successfully did.  We had a very exciting day, catching various species, including Amberjack, Blackfin Tuna, several kinds of Snapper, a shark (on a spinner rod), and a Moray Eel.  Unfortunately, we couldn’t get some of the Amberjack to the boat quick enough to avoid a shark attack.  Plenty of excitement and fun memories.
