Salty Endeavors offers a first-class experience for everyone; families, first-timers and experienced saltwater anglers.

On Offshore Fishing trips, we'll go up to 9 miles offshore and catch some of the biggest and hardest fighting fish the Gulf has to offer. We also offer Family Fishing trips with offshore and inshore options; where the Captain will cater the itinerary to your preferences… fishing, cruising, spotting dolphins, and exploring local scenes like crab island and Destin harbor.

Our 24’ Mako center console is a proven fishing machine with a dry + stable ride. Equipment includes a wireless trolling motor, livewell + digital navigation-sonar to assure we find the fish. You'll enjoy a canopy for shade, large YETI cooler, and comfortable seating.

Using tackle ranging from light to heavy, you’ll be able to try bottom fishing, deep sea fishing, trolling, and handline fishing. Some of the species we'll target include Amberjack, Cobia, Snapper, Grouper, Triggerfish, Shark, Spanish Mackerel, Mahi, Jack Crevalle, Redfish, Black Drum, King Mackerel, Mahi, Sailfish and Tuna. You can keep all the fish you catch. There is no smoking on the boat. Our trips are family friendly, so bring the kids!

We provide all the tackle, as well as live bait and lures. We’ll clean and fillet your catch free of charge. You’re also covered for licenses. We provide bottled waters but you may want to pack other drinks and food for your trip. And our trips are family friendly, so bring the kids.

Visit us @ Salty Endeavors to join our crew on an exciting adventure.

Fishing Time
Kid's Fishing Trip (2PM) on June 12, 20252 adults2 children
My family and I went out for the first time fishing in the sea. Captain Dusty did a phenomenal job. The kids ended up getting seasick right when we got to start fishing. We did catch a few fish since the kids got sick. Dusty decided to head back in and take us to do a little more inshore fishing, and the kids did come out the seasickness. Even if the fish were not biting that good we still got to experience some fish. It was still a wonderful experience. Dusty gave it his all trying all kinds of things to catch fish. We had a dolphin take our fish right off our hook kids thought that was a pretty cool thing to see even though they wanted the fish badly. And of course it had to be the biggest fish they caught that day. Captain Dusty is very down to earth and easy to work with and has a heart and passion for what he does. Highly recommend him to anyone and would definitely book again.

Hey Amanda, thanks for the positive review. We're very glad your family had a great experience fishing with Captain Dusty. Being on the ocean for the first time can be tough and sorry the kids got sea sick. But very happy that Dusty was able to adjust and provide some inshore experiences. Hopefully everyone will want to try again. And those dolphins are a lot of fun to watch, but can be pesky when fishing as they are talented fish-thieves!

Great Fishing Trip with Captain Dusty
4hr Family Fishing Combo (7AM) on July 27, 20254 adults1 child
We had an incredible fishing trip with Captain Dusty—he was knowledgeable, patient, and knew exactly where to take us for the best catch. We reeled in a great haul of mahi mahi and vermillion snapper, keeping the action steady and exciting. The highlight of the day was landing one huge King Mackerel that put up an unforgettable fight. Captain Dusty made the entire experience smooth, fun, and absolutely memorable.

4hr Family Fishing Combo (7AM) on July 2, 20252 adults2 children
Booked a 4 hour trip with them. I was contacted soon after to get some information and talk about the kind of fishing trip we were looking at. Capitan Parker was very informative and easy to work with. The fishing trip went great. We were a little hesitant because it was our 4 year olds first time on a boat fishing trip. Captain and crew worked great with both kids and tried their best to get us on some good fish. I would highly recommend using them again. Thanks for the great fishing trip!

Great first time trip with the kids
Kid's Fishing Trip (2PM) on August 20, 20253 adults1 child
We didn't catch any monsters, but we didn't set out to either. I wanted to take the wife and kids out for the 3 hour trip as something new and exciting for the family to do while on vacation and they loved it. The crew was great, the equipment was great. 10/10 experience.

Captain Dusty was a class act. He went the extra mile (literally) to put us on fish all day. I highly recommend Satly Endeavors for your next charter adventure!
