    BEST CAPTAIN!!!

    4 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM on July 24, 2026 • 4 adults

    Ben was a great captain and knew exactly how to handle everything from the ocean to good fishing. We caught all kinds of bait fish in just minutes. He took us to several different spots and we had several fish on but they got away. My son caught a red snapper and a big grouper. We also got to see 2 sea turtles and baby shark. So we would definitely would recommend him to anyone!! We definitely will be back next year!!!

    Father/Son Trip

    Shared Trip on July 10, 2026 • 2 adults

    To start we went out and caught bait fish which was an absolute blast. Captain Ben then put us on fish immediately. The day gets very hot so take plenty of water, wear plenty of sunscreen and wear UFV shirts & hats. The day ended with a dolphin (Flipper maybe?) taking my sons fish he was reeling in and ran with it. The trip overall was a great experience, Captain Ben is very easy to get along with, got to catch some keepers, see dolphins play and most importantly enjoyed the day with my Son!

    Great trip!!

    Shared Trip on June 13, 2026 • 2 adults

    Great trip! You won’t be disappointed! We wanted to catch something other than just Red Snapper, and that we did. On our 6hr trip we caught Red Snapper, Amberjack, Red Grouper, Vermillion Snapper, Bonito, Mahi Mahi, Porgy, and Shark. Captain Ben was super friendly, professional, and worked hard to make sure we had a great trip. We will definately be back.

    Super fun trip

    Shared Trip on June 26, 2026 • 1 adult

    Started out catching our bait and made our way out into the gulf and started hitting some of the spots and nearly instantly got into amber jack and red snapper then throughout the day got into jack crevalle and grouper aswell. The captain was very knowledgeable and could find the fish very easily. Would definately recommend or go again.

    Great Day on the water.

    6 Hour Trip AM on July 16, 2026 • 2 adults

    Great day on the water with Captain Ben. From the first drop to the bottom we were putting fish in the boat and had steady action all day. My son and I each caught a wide variety of species and came home with a nice bag of filets.

    Bite was solid from the first drop, each following spot definitely held fish of some sort. More species than I've ever caught in one trip! Definitely stacked the cooler!

I have been fishing since I could walk. I grew up fresh water fishing in Minnesota. I moved to Destin, Florida in 2011 and have been perfecting my salt water fishing techniques since then.
