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 for this year is Captain Blake, 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. Blake will bring you aboard a 2023 31’ Sportsman center console with room for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. 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!

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 on November 25, 2024

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!

5 Hour AM Trip on August 17, 2024

From top to bottom that was an amazing experience. We reeled in a variety of fish: Amberjack, Red Snapper, Red Grouper, Vermillion Snapper (of course, keeping only those in season). Captain Blake was a great teacher to two first time ocean fishers, making sure to set us up and give us the guiding hand we needed each step of the way. We left with pounds of great fish we can't wait to cook. Beautifully filleted by the captain. The boat is clean, comfortable, and well run. Each spot we stopped at, each adjustment made to the boats position, put us right on top of the fish. He was always diligent, and made sure that we had everything we needed. I really can't say enough about how positive of an experience we had.

100% recommend. Hot water temps made the red snapper bite lethargic, Capt. Blake went above and beyond to put us on the fish. He saw we had a young child on board with us and took it upon himself to grab a bottle of Pedialyte, was very thoughtful. We came home with a mess of Vermillion and a nice Mangrove… and if we were a little better anglers we would have had A LOT more in the box! All in all, Capt. Blake did an excellent job, it’s obvious he loves what he does. You can’t can’t control Mother Nature and you can’t pull blood from a turnip, but I’ll be damned if he didn’t try! Be reasonable, be courteous, and be generous these guys try their best! 5 stars and next year when we’re in Destin we will be calling again. Thanks again guys. Derek Fogarty - New Orleans

3/4 Day Trip (10 AM) on June 3, 2024

What an amazing trip! Captain Blake is super knowledgeable and just all around awesome! Took a trip with my son and his friend (both teenagers) and we all had the time of our lives. The boat was amazing but Captain Blake made the trip one we will never forget! First 2 spots we stopped didn’t have much luck but Captain Blake wouldn’t give up. 2 of us were catching fish, the 3rd wasn’t having luck. Captain Blake said he wouldn’t stop til we all caught fish. We ended up with our limit and had the chance to reel in a Shark! We will be back on this trip every time we come to Destin!
