David Colwell5.0VerifiedLoaded up with big fish
3 Hour Kids Trip — Catch & Release - 12:30 PM on July 25, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children3 hour kids trip in the bay turned into an awesome gulf adventure after Dan told us that the hurricane made the bay fishing a bit iffy. Dan is incredibly knowledgeable on the area, and where the fish are biting, and does free karaoke whenever the motor goes over 2k rpm. Kid got his personal best catch! Highly recommend, will be back

4 Hour Trip — Bay Fishing on May 27, 2026 • 2 adultsDespite the weather forcing us to change locations a few times we still were able to catch trout. Captain Daniel was awesome. We had a great time and brought several fish home.

4 Hour Trip — Bay Fishing on February 21, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenHad a Great Day on the Water with Capt. Dan. He worked extremely hard to provide the best experience he could
John Kozlowski5.0VerifiedLoved the trip with Captain Dan!
4 Hour Trip — Bay Fishing on June 30, 2025 • 4 adultsMy 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.
Dominic Orella4.7VerifiedHad a great time.
4 Hour Trip — Bay Fishing on July 18, 2025 • 5 adultsWe 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.
