Fish Excursion Charters invites you to spend a fun day on the water and make memories fishing the lovely waters of Florida. Starting out of Destin, you and Captain Mike Quinnell will embark on offshore waters and have a great time chasing many different species. Come aboard and enjoy landing a good catch!

You’ll make your way to the fish on a 25’ Cape Horn center console that can sit up to four guests. The boat’s twin 150 HP Yamaha engines and comprehensive navigation technology will quickly take you to the desired fishing spots. The boat is equipped with outriggers and live well, features an ice-box, and has also got a portable toilet you can use.

Some of the many species you can target include Red Snapper, Bull shark, Mahi Mahi, Grey Triggerfish, Amberjack, Scamp, and Redfish. The fishing techniques you’ll be using are bottom fishing, deep sea fishing, trolling, as well as spinning. If you want to, you can keep the fish you catch and take it home. Also, feel free to bring kids on your trip.

Captain Mike will take care of the fishing tackle, live bait, lures, and licenses needed for the trip. Just bring snacks and drinks of your choice and enjoy the water.

Fish Excursion Charters is waiting for you, join in and have a great time fishing in Florida!
