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!

Destin, Florida, United States
I am from Montgomery, AL and attended Auburn University. I received my degrees in Finance and International Business and also received my MBA directed in Finance. After college, I ran hospital revenue cycles until I lost the drive to continue in that career after my father's passing so I moved to the beach and started a yacht charter business. We currently own a 75' Princess and operate a 60' Neptunus. We ordered the 31' Sportsman in July 2022 and it finally arrived in March 2023. We strive to add a family fun fishing and adventure experience that will go with our yacht charter service!

Most center consoles are state licensed and are restricted to within nine miles of the shoreline. We have federal permits so we are able to go past that barrier to where the bigger fish usually are. These areas aren't "fished out" like the state waters ca
