30+ years of fishing the waters out of the Destin Pass, and when you fish with us you’ll know why we are still here. Other captains hate to see our boat dock and Jeremy unload our customers' catch. So book now before all trips are gone.

Our pricing method has not changed in years. Many charters give you one price for 4 people, but when you fish with 6 people, it increases by 25%. We like to do it the old-fashioned way with no gimmicks.

The Gulf of America's offshore waters offer fishing like no other place in the world. They're home to a wide variety of species that provide great sportfishing opportunities, and Captain Jeremy will make sure you have a memorable time on the water.

His 31’ Pursuit cruiser is the perfect machine for fishing in the deep. Not only is it spacious and comfortable, but its engine packs a punch too. Its twin 250 HP Yamaha engines will drive you out into the offshore waters in no time at all, hitting up to 45 knots. That means more fishing time!

As we said, there's a great range of species here. Expect your hooks to latch onto the likes of Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper, King Mackerel, Gray Triggerfish, Yellowfin Tuna, and a range of sharks, with Mako being a particularly frequent catch. Captain Jeremy has light and heavy tackle to get the job don,e including trusted brands such as Shimano, Penn, and Daiwa.

He can buy your live bait for you or catch it for you if you choose to fish with it. These saltwater fish sure are tasty so he’ll clean them for you once the trip is over. A fishing license is also provided for you so there's no need to think about that once you've booked your excursion. Water is provided, so take some soft drinks of your own if you wish as well as some food (no glass bottles though).

This is a true sport fishing paradise and Captain Jeremy is a proven master of pulling them in. So what are you waiting for? Hit the open water and enjoy the excellent challenge that awaits you.

Fantastic experience
5 Hour Trip (PM) on July 6, 20255 adults1 child

Captain Jeremy is a fantastic captain! He is always right there every time we had any question. He works well with any age group but extremely well with younger children. We started by catching our own bait, That was fun enough but once we started catching real fish it was a whole new excitement level. Looking forward to coming back and doing this again next year. Captain Jeremy our kids are asking already to come back and do it again as long as you are our Captain! Returning customers for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ star review The Graber’s! Cincinnati, OH

Good Afternoon Trip!
6 Hour Trip on June 9, 20262 adults

The captain has his own 'spots' to fish where he has located or established habitat. you aren't fighting with other boats or fisherman for space at the 'well known fishing holes'. 9-15 miles out with no other boats in-sight. Quick to move-on from sites where the wrong kind of fish were biting and stealing bait. Focused on catching quality 'keeper' fish. We primarily caught Snapper, Grouper, and Mingo's.

Response from Captain

we really hope your group had a good time, however 4 star reviews really hurt our rating. please let us know what we could have done for a better rating. thanks
