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!
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!
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!
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.
My whole family went. Everyone caught a fish. Captain was very knowledgeable and a super nice person. Helped everyone. Caught 4 red fish and 1 trout Caught a few more but they were a little too small. Would highly recommend the captain and the boat. While come back and fish next year.
our trip was extremely rewarding. Caught several red fish, catfish and a stingray. Kellen was a wonderful captain and very patient with my two grandsons who are seven and four. We strongly recommend this trip to anybody especially those who have kids who enjoy fishing.
We had a great time with Keller! We caught a variety of fish and he was great to talk with about the local fishing scene. He was great with kids and adults. 10/10 woukd reccomend. Thanks Keller!

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.
Captain Wes took us where we caught fish. We caught Red Fish, Pin Fish, Blue fish, lizard fish and a stingray. Was great experience for us. We hope that we can come back another time. Great fun!!!
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!
