Destin Inshore Charters is located in beautiful Destin, Florida and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.

Capt. Dan aims to tailor every trip to your specific needs, so let him know what you’re after! Depending on the trip and species, you’ll be using techniques like light tackle spinning. Light tackle makes this experience one of a kind, as you battle with the hardest fighting fish per pound in the area.

You’re looking at 3 to 6 hour trips, where you’ll usually go after the likes of Redfish, Flounder, Spotted Seatrout, and Snapper, depending on the weather and time of year.

Your adventure begins on board a 22’ Cape Bay boat that can fit a maximum of 6 anglers. The boat is fitted with an ice box and wireless trolling motor. All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. It’s up to you to use it as best you can. The captain will supply all the needed fishing licenses for your trip.

The price of your trip also includes complimentary drinks, but you’re welcome to bring your own. Please let the captain know if you have any questions or special requests.

Want to bring the rest of the family along for the ride? Kids are welcome aboard, so you’re free to make it a family adventure.

Loved the trip with Captain Dan!

4 Hour Bay Fishing AM on June 30, 2025 • 4 adults

My wife and I took our two nephews fishing on our recent vacation in Destin. We all caught fish and had an all around great time! Captain Dan was very patient as several of us were novice fishermen. The boys loved the authentic nature of Captain Dan (he was born to be a charter boat operator in Florida!), and were talking about the trip for days. Will definitely do this again when we make it back to Destin.

Took my boys and their grandparents out for an afternoon kids trip and Capt Dan showed us a great time! Super knowledgeable local guide and had the boys in fish in no time. Highly recommend!

Had a great time.

4 Hour Bay Fishing AM on July 18, 2025 • 5 adults

We really enjoyed our time with Captain Dan. July fishing is tough but he did a great job finding us some good places. From the radio it sounded like we were one of the only boats to have a successful day. We had a number of hits and were able to land a few keeper redfish. We had 4 people plus Capt Dan in the boat and that seemed the right size group for the boat. Overall this was one of the highlights of our trip.

Captain prioritized the overall experience of our trip

4 Hour Bay Fishing AM on June 10, 2025 • 2 adults

Captain Alex made a considerable effort to assure an overall memorable experience and outcome for us. From a safety briefing to my overall comfort in what I would call "calm" seas. My 17 y/o son loved it. We caught a variety of fish and was not disappointed in the least.

Capt. Dan was perfect for an in!shore fishing trip. He was so patient with my boys. We tried several spots and never gave up. He even got my son fighting Amberjack! Ended up getting 12 fish! Definitely a memorable trip for our family
