Running angling trips out of Destin, Charter Boat Starfire invites you to check out the local fishery in style.
Capt. Bill 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 bottom fishing and trolling. You're looking at 3 to 8-hour trips, where you'll usually go after the likes of Snapper, King Mackerel, Amberjack, Cobia, Grouper, and Wahoo, depending on the weather and time of year.
Your fishing adventure starts on a 38' Silverton boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat features a toilet, AC, and an ice box. All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. All that's up to you is to use it as best you can.
No need to worry about fishing licenses, as they will be provided and handled by the charter. You can keep anything you catch, as long as it's legal to do so.
There will be a first mate on board to help you with anything you need. Tips for good service are always appreciated. This is a children-friendly charter, so you're welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.

This was a great fishing trip for me and my teenage sons. We caught grouper, tuna, and amberjack. The captain and crew were friendly and helpful. It doesn’t matter your skill level, the captain and his team coached and helped us reel in the big catch. They made the trip fun and enjoyable for everyone. I would recommend this charter for anyone wanting a fun and stress free experience. We even took the catch to a local restaurant they suggested and had a great dinner.
I would highy recommend these guys for a fishing trip. Captain John was a super nice guy and his helper worked really hard to keep our lines in the water.I took my son in laws on this trip with so they could experience being out on the water but unfortunately one got sea sick . Captain John understood and got us back quickly so he could get back on land. They cleaned our fish and put them on ice for us. We had enough for a good grilled out dinner and it was really good. Would highly recommed as we all had a great time (even the one that got sick!)
We had the BEST time on our fishing charter yesterday! 🎣☀️ From start to finish, Sailor and John were absolutely amazing. Not only were they super friendly and professional, but they truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone—especially my kids—had an unforgettable experience. Sailor was incredible with the kids. He took the time to teach them how to fish, explained different types of fish, and made the whole experience fun, engaging, and exciting. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it made all the difference. John kept everything running smoothly and made sure we were always in the right spots—let’s just say, we caught some great fish thanks to them! 🙌 This wasn’t just a fishing trip, it was a memory we’ll all hold onto. If you’re thinking about booking—DO IT. You won’t regret it! Thank you again, Sailor and John, for such an incredible day on the water! 🌊💙
We had a good time. Our request was action, which is not always guaranteed. John and Sailor moved around and were able to keep us on fish. We had a 4 hour trip and fished from the time we left the dock until we got back trolling to and from the areas we fished for eater fish. Captain John called the day before letting us know the expected weather conditions asking if we still wanted to go, we came up with a plan and he executed it.

Capt. Clay and Sailor were the best!! wasnt an akward trip like some of the other trips I’ve taken where the captain doesnt interact much. they were very personable and we felt very comfortable with them. put us on fish all day. will definitely be back next year with them.
