Every passionate angler dreams of exploring the waters of ‘The World’s Luckiest Fishing Village’ and Let’s Fish Destin will make those dreams come true in their own unique way. Captain Jordan Smith specializes in providing his customers with a unique fishing experience, perfectly tailored to their preference and experience level. From avid anglers, beginners, weekend warriors, and families with kids, he has something for everyone.

He invites you for an exciting day out on his 22’ Cape Horn center console. It’s equipped with a strong and reliable 225 HP Honda engine, all the necessary safety gear and Garmin navigational electronics. It also has a live bait tank, ice-boxes, and a tower for those Cobia-chasing lovers out there.

The captain will take you and up to 5 other fishermen patrolling the waters of Destin, anywhere from inshore to offshore. He’ll also show you the sweetest spots near reefs teeming with various species. Your targets will be whatever you set your mind to!

The boat is perfect for light tackle fishing for the likes of Redfish and Speckled Trout in the shallows, but also for hitting the deeper waters in pursuit of big boys such as Snappers, Groupers, Mackerel, and Amberjacks. For the most adventurous anglers, there are bow fishing and night fishing trips, and Let’s Fish Destin can even take you Shark hunting.

This charter will provide all the necessary fishing gear, including live bait - you’ll have the unique opportunity to catch your own bait during the trip. You’ll also find two bows on board, but keep in mind that minimum age for bow fishing trips is 5. No age limit for the other trips though! So bring your whole family or fishing buddies and see what Destin fishing is all about!

A Trip to Remember!

Half Day Trip (PM) on June 12, 2025

Captain Christian was amazing! His knowledge on the water was quite evident. After stopping a few minutes to catch bait, he put our group of 6 on a school of Amberjack and we had a blast! Within an hour, every person in our party had experienced a fun fight landing fish and comparing who had the biggest catch. We moved onto another hot bed of activity, hooking even larger fish. The highlight of the day was fighting a 6ft shark that attacked our catch as we had it just away from the boat! We fought it for about 5 minutes before it cut the line, but it was an incredible experience we'll remember for years! Thanks so much for the wonderful trip!

3/4 Day Trip on October 13, 2022

This was a great trip. Captain Jordan knew where to put us on fish and he enjoys fishing this area which made it an overall awesome experience. Once we hit one limit he let us bounce around to try and catch some stuff on our bucket list. I thought that was the added type of touch we got with this trip that makes it standout. We had 1 novice fisherman in our group and he ended up having the best day. Captain Jordan was helping him out with some of the finer points and the smile he had as we were pulling out fish was worth the whole thing. 10/10 would recommend.

1/2 Day Shark Trip with Captain Chris

VERIFIED

Shark Trip on June 22, 2022

We had a perfect day for fishing. Captain Chris was very knowledgeable and an experienced angler. The day started off a bit slow since we had trouble catching bait, but luckily Captain Chris and Captain Jordan were able to find some shark bait for us. We were fortunate enough to hook into a monster Lemon Shark. It took us 3 hrs 13 minutes to real in the biggest shark we have ever seen or caught. Captain Chris guesstimated it to be around 10’ long and 350 lbs or more. We were able to get it up to the boat even though it snapped the pole and eventually the line. It was a great trip overall and a fantastic graduation gift for my son and Father’s Day gift for my father-in-law. Thank you Captain Chris and Captain Jordan for the amazing memories and a great story!

The Fish & Fun Trip - 6 hours on June 4, 2023

This trip was worth the money and then some. Had a great family time out on the water. First 4 baits were in the water less than 30 seconds and all 4 were solid hookups. We then went on to Crab Island to finish off the trip. We will definitely be booking with him on our next Florida adventure.

I have been fishing my entire life and been working as a captain for the previous 12 years. I love fishing more than anything, and I'm not planning on doing anything else professionally. Being on the water is something I like the most about the job. You can only be relaxed when you are out on the water.
