Fed Permits - New Boat - Fish & Fun Destin
If you're ready to get hooked on fishing in Destin, book a trip with Destin's Premier Fishing Experience on the newest and nicest boat in the fleet. Our NEW guide is Captain Mikey, which means you'll tap into 20 years of angling experience on the Emerald Coast and is highly respected in the local fishing community!!
These waters are home to Sharks, Mingos, Amberjack, Bluefish, Black Drum, Black Grouper, Red Grouper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Pompano, Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Red Snapper, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), and more, depending on the season. On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light tackle.
Trips with Destin's Premier Fishing Experience are fun for all ages, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!
Capt. Mikey will bring you aboard a 2023 31' Sportsman center console with room for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
Don't forget to bring sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Water is included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Destin's Premier Fishing Experience!

4 Hour PM Shark Trip
4hr inshore shark trip
This was a great trip with Capt Blake! I chose this trip to take my 5 year old grandson out for his first saltwater experience and we got that and more. I have taken other shark trips and we usually catch small to mid size sharks, today on the first cast we hooked into something thing big that quickly broke the line. On the second cast we hooked and fought a12 foot plus 300lb Thresher shark for almost 2 hours. Capt Blake was amazing with my grandson and was a lot of fun to work with. I highly recommend Capt Blake and this shark trip, expect to hook into a big one!

4 Hour AM Trip - State Waters Only
Tremendous capt Blake
My wife and I have fished all over North and Central America, using many guides and we have never experienced the quality and knowledge of our fishing guide. His name is Blake, and we agreed that this man was the best we have ever had. Caught tons of fish, and will enjoy the fruits of our labor at the table for quite some time. Hope we can always request this same guide in the future trips, thanks so much.

6 Hour AM Trip
Fantastic Trip. Highly recommend!
Highly recommend booking a trip with Fish & Fun! We had an amazing trip and everyone in our group agreed that it was the best fishing charter we’d been on! Blake was an awesome captain and I’d highly recommend fishing with him. He was very personable, friendly, and was genuinely excited to see us catching fish. He worked hard to keep us on the fish all day and was constantly offering tips and making sure everyone was catching fish and having fun. We caught good sized fish at every stop, hitting our limit of red snapper along with a few other keeper species as well!
