850 Charters is the highest rated guide service in Destin for a reason, Captains Matt, Jared and Phillip go above and beyond every day to make the most out of every fishing trip whether in the gulf or bay.

Depending on time of year, tide, and the latest bite intelligence, you might hook into Snapper, Redfish, Shark, Bluefish, Little Tuni, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Jack species or mahi mahi.

On trips of 4 hours or longer you may catch in season fish to take home or have cooked at a local restaraunt, so long as regulations allow. Plus, fish cleaning and freezer bags are included in the price, so no worry, stress free experience!

You'll be dropping lines from a 26' Parker center console with room for 6 passengers. This boat comes rigged with a trolling motor that will hold you firmly over the spot so your captain can spend all his time tending to your group rather than behind the helm constantly maneuvering the boat. Top of the line rods, reels, tackle, and state of the art electronics are all equipped on this fishing machine.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

We also offer child-specific charters, so bring 'em aboard and get the kids hooked while they're young! Coast Guard spec Type-1 Child-sized life vests are included, Although we do allow you to bring your own puddle jumper or personal vest that your kids may be more comfortable in and used to.

A few items you'll want to bring include bottled water, sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and snacks.

850 Charters will make your investment well worth the time and we look forward to making lasting memories and smiles with you out on the water!

Please Note, although very rare and unlikely to occur, 850 Charters reserves the right to change any and all charter times, captains and boat.

Best captain ever!
5 Hour Trip – Captain's Choice on October 3, 2026 • 4 adults

Captain Jared was super accommodating from allowing us to shift our trip to another day due to weather to forgiving us for being an hour late due to an unexpected road closure. He knew with the weather and the water what fish to set us up for and where to find them. We learned so much from him and caught plenty of yummy fish! We look forward to going out with him again in the future!

Nonstop Action and Smiles with Captain Jared – A Perfect Family Fishing Trip
4 Hour Trip – Captain's Choice on April 1, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

We had an incredible experience out on the water with Captain Jared, who made the entire trip fun, engaging, and especially kid-friendly for our family. Our two sons (ages 11 and 12) had an absolute blast and were smiling the entire time. Captain Jared did a fantastic job keeping the boys involved, helping them with their lines, and celebrating every catch, which made it even more special for them. We ended up catching 21 assorted fish, which was perfect for our kids—they loved the constant action and excitement of reeling them in one after another. If you’re looking for a family-friendly fishing trip where the kids will stay entertained and make lasting memories, we highly recommend Captain Jared!

Great trip!!
5 Hour Trip – Captain's Choice on May 29, 2026 • 2 adults

We’ve been on several fishing charters in the last few years. This was by far the best we’ve had. We caught multiple fish, most were keepers and that was the goal, take fish home! Jared was great, he was knowledgeable easy to get along with, put us on the fish and wasn’t afraid to change it up to keep us bringing them in. We will definitely be going with Jared again when we go back to Destin.

850 charters was an excellent choice for an outstanding fishing trip. The morning was rainy but Captain Jared did his best to give us the greatest experience possible. He was flexible and pushed the time back to get the best weather. We had a great time and had a blast catching fish! I spent a lot of time reading reviews to determine who to book with. Save your time and boo with 850 Charters now!

Memorable Trip!
4 Hour Trip – Captain's Choice - 11:00 AM on July 29, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

Capt Jared took 5 of us out, including our two boys (4.5 and 6). This was their first time on a boat and the heat got to them by about hour two. Capt Jared was quick to get us back, in a safe and effective manner. Overall, very professional and knowledgeable! Only made it to one spot and had bites/caught fish quite a bit (even if they tried to outsmart us).

Reported catch:
Red Snapper
Vermilion Snapper

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I am a Destin born native and have fished and lived here for my entire life. Growing up here is an awesome blessing especially for an avid fisherman like myself. When I was younger deep sea fishing trips were a rare and special treat for me so I looked for every opportunity to get out and fish anyway I could. I'll never forget the excitement and adventure of reeling In my first fish and that is a feeling I strive to bring all my clients big or small. I am by no means the best fisherman around and will never claim to be, but I strive to be the best at showing my clients an experience out on the water they will never forget. Since I never had the privilege of fishing as often as most others in the area I learned not to take any fishing trip for granted, and I treat every trip that steps foot on my boat the same way. I understand the value of these experiences and do everything in my power to make the most out of every fishing trip.
