Salty Endeavors is proudly rated one of the top fishing charters in Fort Walton Beach. We offer a first-class experience for every crew: families, first-timers and experienced saltwater anglers.

For more experienced anglers, we recommend our Offshore Fishing charters. More time on the water means more chances to fill the cooler!

For less experienced anglers, or families with younger children, we recommend our Family Fishing Trip option to enjoy a day of family fun for everyone. Spend your day fishing local hotspots, where the fish are always biting. Also, feel free to request to spend a portion of the trip dolphin watching or cruising the beautiful waterways of Destin. You can even explore local attractions like Destin Harbor and Crab Island.

Your Captain will customize the trip to your preferences and the activities you most enjoy, assuring that everyone has a great day on the water!

Our Mako 232 Center Console is fantastic fishing machine with a dry and stable ride for our guests. Equipment includes a wireless trolling motor, livewell + digital navigation-sonar to assure we find the fish. You'll enjoy a canopy for shade, comfortable seating, a cooler with clean ice for drinks & snacks. Insulated fish box to keep your catch fresh till we're at the dock.

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. We filet and pack your fish to bring home or to a local restaurant (ask us if you need recommendations). 

We provide all the tackle, bait, and licenses. We have bottled waters but you may want to pack other drinks and snacks. Our trips are family friendly, so bring the kids.

Perfect family fishing charter!
5hr Family Fishing Trip (2PM) on June 26, 20263 adults1 child

Captain Jake was knowledgeable and friendly! We are a fishing family with a 3 year old and this trip was perfect for us! We had a beautiful afternoon with lots of catches and a few impressive keepers. We went straight from the marina to a restaurant that cooked our delicious red grouper. We highly recommend this Salty Endeavors and wil book again in the near future!

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.

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
King Mackerel (Kingfish)
Red Snapper
Mangrove Snapper
