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.

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!

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!
Reported catch:
Gray Triggerfish

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)
