8hr Offshore Fishing (6AM) on March 7, 20264 adults

if your looking for a great day on the water on a nice boat witha fun crew then this is your charter! We started the day out having a good time catching some bait fish then it was off to reeling them in. We caught so many Red Snapper unfortunately they were not in aeason butvwe did manage to catch Grouper, white snapper and vermillion snapper along with trigger fish that were keepers. we also caught a lot that were just shy of size limit to keep. The crew were great to talk to and had a sense of humor to joke with. Looking forward to our next time out soon!

Reported catch:
Red Snapper
Vermilion Snapper
Scamp Grouper
Gray Triggerfish

Great way to end our Snapper Season
6hr Offshore Fishing (6AM) on July 30, 20252 adults

We went out with Parker on his 30’ Pursuit, which accommodated our group perfectly—plenty of space and very comfortable. After securing bait, Parker had us on mackerel in no time. Once we had our fill, we headed out in search of snapper, and Parker definitely delivered. He knows all the right spots, and more importantly, he’s equipped with the right gear to bring fish in fast and efficiently. I’ve chartered fishing trips all over Florida and Texas, and Parker ranks among the best. When I return to the Destin area, there’s no question—I’ll be booking with him again.

Great Offshore Fishing
8hr Offshore Fishing (6AM) on June 10, 20263 adults

What an epic day!!! Parker the Captain and Sam the First Mate were absolutely fantastic - they put us on the fish and kept us there. Exceptional crew who were personable and ready to help in every way possible. I have been on many offshore trips and this was definitely one of the best trips ever. Would definitely rebook them without hesitation.
