Take a trip with Fish-In-Daze and explore some of the most productive fishing grounds in the world out of Destin! Fishing is Captain Robert Broestler's biggest passion, and he'll make sure you leave with a smile on your face and dinner in your hand.

The Fish-In-Daze is a 21' Cape Horn saltwater fishing boat. Its most striking feature is a high tower fitted with controls that gives a great vantage point from the water. The boat has a jack plated engine that allows it to run in shallow depths, while it also tackles choppier waters nearshore well.

Capt. Rob will accommodate all levels of anglers, providing all the fishing equipment, including live bait. After a beautiful day out enjoying the nice Florida sun and hooking the fish of a lifetime, he'll clean and fillet your catch for you to take home.

During your trip, you will not only learn to fish with an expert fisherman, but you will also have a great time having fun with mother nature. You can target the biggest of fish for game and sport, or go for the best-tasting species to let your memories of the trip continue onto the table that evening.

You may be trolling the Gulf for King Mackerel, Bonito and, if you're lucky, Mahi Mahi, Cobia, Tuna, and Sailfish. You can also try bottom fishing or spot casting (depending on the season) to land some delicious table fare or test your angling skills.

Bring your kids with you for a fun day in nature, and make some unforgettable family memories. Pack some food and drinks to stay refreshed, as well as some sunscreen, and you're ready to have fun!

Chase your sense of adventure and join Fish-In-Daze for your chance to explore the prolific waters out of Destin!

You can pay the remaining balance for your trips directly to the Capt. in cash or via Venmo.

Memorable Experience for the entire family
Half Day Trip on June 28, 20262 adults1 child

Our family had an unforgettable fishing trip with Captain Robert! From the moment we stepped on the boat, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly personable. He took the time to thoroughly explain the equipment, review all of the safety procedures, and made sure everyone—especially our children—felt comfortable and confident. Throughout the trip, Captain Robert patiently coached us, offering helpful tips and feedback that made us better anglers while keeping the experience fun and relaxed. Thanks to his expertise, we caught an incredible 25 fish, with the majority being mahi-mahi! Both our children and the adults had an amazing time. The excitement of reeling in fish, learning new skills, and spending quality time together on the Gulf made this an experience we'll never forget. This trip created memories our family will cherish for a lifetime. If you're looking for an outstanding fishing charter, we can't recommend Captain Robert enough. We would absolutely book another trip with him!

Great Captain! Great Experience!
Half Day Trip on June 23, 20263 adults1 child

We had a wonderful time with Captain Robert! He met us early in his PRISTINE boat and got us on the water quick. He knew exactly where to take us and put us on fish fast! The winds were rough on the gulf side so we stuck to the bay side in Destin where we had nice calm water. We caught a bunch of Mangrove Snapper and our limit on Redfish. He was great with the kids and gave clear and precise instructions to help us bass fishermen get hooked on saltwater. He cleaned and fileted our catch, packed then in ice and gave us great cooking tips which made for one of the best seafood meals we had. We highly recommend and will book him again next time we're in town!

We were unlucky enough to book during a rougher week. The wind gust were a little much for us to go into the gulf, but we were fortunate enough to have a great captain that looked out for us. He took us around in the bay and we caught some nice fish. some spanish makerals some blue runners and some blue fish. My son also caught his new biggest fish to date with a 9.3 lbs red fish. We had a lot of fun and captain Rob was great to talk to and very knowledgeable. Would love to come back and go out on the gulf next time.

Another amazing trip with captain Robert!
Kids 3-hour Bay Trip on March 9, 20264 adults1 child

This is our second trip with captain Robert. Each time he has been amazing! We had 4 adults and 1 young kid. He took us out to catch a bunch of small fish for our kid, we caught about 15 sandperch in about 20 minutes, which was an amazing experience for our kid! Then we went to another spot where we caught several larger trigger fish, which was a lot of fun for the adults. Afterwards, captain Robert cleaned all the fish and we took them to a local restaurant for dinner. All around a 5 star experience!

Robert knows where to find the fish
Half Day Trip - 12:00 PM on July 3, 20262 adults2 children

Today, being the day before a holiday, made for busy & choppy water but Robert found the best spots for us to make some great catches. 2 of our 4 were feeling a bit seasick but the other 2 caught fish the majority of the trip. Robert was helpful & knowledgeable. The boat was very clean.

It's my passion in life, much more than just a hobby. I find so much thrill and excitement to fight mother nature in the battle to catch the biggest and best fish. It makes the suns heat and time worth it, to be in the middle of the beautiful blue ocean flying through open waters of my next catch. To catch your own dinner every night doing what you love makes you feel at one with nature, it is the only thing I like to do at this point and couldn't imagine life without fishing.
