Explore the flats and backcountry waters on Capt. Wes's 24' Skeeter bay boat that accommodates up to 6 anglers.

Capt. Wes will have everything you need ready when you come aboard – rods, reel, tackle, as well as live bait and artificial lures. You'll be doing light tackle fishing in the shallow waters of Destin. He'll be more than happy to clean and fillet your catch, so you'll get to taste the fruits of your labor upon your return to shore.

Kids are welcome to join in on the fun, and Capt. Wes loves teaching them all about fishing! If you want to turn this into a fun family outing, feel free to bring them along. Make sure to pack some sunscreen, as well as something to eat and drink, and come see what all the fuss is about!

    Amazing Family Fishing Charter and Hook-and-Cook Experience

    2 hour trip - 2:15 PM on August 8, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    We had an amazing day with Destin Bay Fishing Charters. Huge shoutout to Captain Keller for making the trip fun, relaxed, and memorable for our whole family. He gave great fishing instruction, kept everyone involved, and made sure we got the most out of our time on the water. His fillet skills afterward were seriously impressive, too. The best part was taking our fresh catch straight to Dewey Destin’s Harborside and having it cooked three different ways. Fresh fish, salty air, great company, and an experience our family will definitely remember. Highly recommend Destin Bay Fishing Charters for anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly, hands-on fishing trip in Destin!

    Amazing Trip, Kid Friendly, Caughts lots of Fish with Great Instruction!

    2 hour trip - 3:30pm on July 23, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had a blast on our trip. Keller was an amazing captain and helped with everything from getting us to a great spot, baiting our line, being so kid friendly, and educating our young kids on how to catch fish. We had a lot of success catching a wide range of quality fish on our excursion. We had the option to keep or release our catch. It was a great short trip for young kids who can't handle a full day. Can't say enough great things about our experience. Thank you Keller for a wonderful day!

    Wonderful Experience!

    3 hour trip - 12:45 PM on May 24, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Last minute decision to book a bay fishing trip with my daughters ages 16 & 7. We had storms the morning of but communication was good and we were able to start later in the afternoon. Slow start but found the pot of gold, finishing the afternoon with lots of fun redfish! Caught our 3 keepers but had a blast catch and releasing. We will definitely be out again!

    Great Captain

    4 Hour Trip - 11:45 AM on June 24, 2026 • 4 adults

    Keller did an amazing job, dispite the HEAT he was great! Was very attentive to the loss of bait, Constantly tried different places if we weren’t catching in a spot. would definitely recommend for anyone questioning this fishing charter. The only thing I suggest is to bring something to get out of the sun with or wear more protection.

    Huge 5 lb trout!

    3 hour trip - 1:45 PM on March 31, 2026 • 6 adults • 4 children

    We caught Spanish mackerel, a foounder, red fish, and an enormous trout! We also caught a sting ray. Capt Kelly patiently answered all 347 questions my four children incessantly peppered him with and never lost enthusiasm for all our catches. 10/10 will so this again — in fact, my 8 yr old daughter wanted to go back out immediately!

    We had a blast on our trip. Keller was an amazing captain and helped with everything from getting us to a great spot, baiting our line, being so kid friendly, and educating our young kids on how to catch fish. We had a lot of success catching a wide range of quality fish on our excursion. We had the option to keep or release our catch. It was a great short trip for young kids who can't handle a full day. Can't say enough great things about our experience. Thank you Keller for a wonderful day!

    Captain was very patient with my two boys ages 3 & 8. We caught a large Redfish, large speckled trout and a smaller snapper. We were out about 3.5 hours.

    We wanted to take my 8, 6, and 5 year olds out for the first time and he nailed it. Kept them entertained the whole time. Caught all different kinds, same dolphins and a stingray. Very knowledgeable about the area.

    Keller did an amazing job, dispite the HEAT he was great! Was very attentive to the loss of bait, Constantly tried different places if we weren’t catching in a spot. would definitely recommend for anyone questioning this fishing charter. The only thing I suggest is to bring something to get out of the sun with or wear more protection.
