Strictly Business Fishing Charters welcomes you to Santa Rosa Beach, a calm and pristine angling destination in Florida. You can choose from a wide range of fishing spots, including inshore and nearshore waters, offshore grounds, the backcountry, as well as reefs, flats, and wrecks. Captain Nick Tate is going to make sure you have a fun and successful fishing trip you’ll remember for a long time.
Your trip starts on a restored 23’ Cape Horn bay boat that can take up to 4 guests. It runs on a 225 HP Yamaha engine, features electronic navigation, and uses a wireless trolling motor. You’ll also have access to snorkeling equipment and you can use the onboard livewell and ice-box.
Santa Rosa Beach offers you a great number of species you can catch. To name just a few, there’s Mahi Mahi, Kingfish, Mangrove Snapper, as well as Permit, Red Grouper, Black Drum, and many more. The fishing techniques you’ll use to catch them include bottom and deep sea fishing, trolling, spinning, jigging, popping, as well as fly fishing. Whether you’ll keep or release your catch is totally up to you.
The captain will supply you with everything you’ll need for the trip, including rods, reels, tackle, live bait, lures, as well as fishing licenses. He will also clean and bag your catch free of charge. You just bring some food and drinks before you leave.
Come to Santa Rosa Beach and have a wonderful fishing experience with Captain Nick and Strictly Business Fishing Charters!

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM)
Captain Nick was a blast. Super down to earth and knowledgeable about fishing the Destin/Ft Walton waters. He was very accommodating, kind, and generally excited to be out fishing. Once we found the fish we limited out (15 Spanish Mackerel per person) in about 45 minutes. Furthermore, he didn’t force me to use his website to book. He called me personally to discuss all options and planning. I would 100% go fishing with him again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Half Day Trip – Offshore (AM)
Great trip with Capt. Nick! Caught our limit of red snapper in less than an hour and some stud vermillion snapper. Also caught a bonita before we came back. If one spot isn’t working, he has options that will put you on the fish. This was our second trip with him and will definitely be calling him on the next trip we make.
