Salty Endeavors offers you a first-class experience. Head out of Destin's East Pass with us for a fun and exciting day of fishing.

We offer a variety of trips: Offshore Fishing - head miles offshore and catch some of the biggest and hardest fighting fish the Gulf has to offer. Inshore/Nearshore Fishing - stay closer to shore and explore local hot spots where the fish are always biting. Fish/Cruise Combo - fish, cruise, watch dolphins, and enjoy a relaxing day made just for you.

Our 24’ Mako center console is a very comfortable and stable ride. She’s powered by a Yamaha 250HP motor and has a digital navigation system. Fishing equipment includes a wireless trolling motor, livewell and fishfinder. To maximize your comfort, the boat features a large canopy for shade, a large YETI cooler, and plenty of 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. Lastly, we provide bottle waters but you may want to pack other drinks and food for your trip.

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

Dustin was really down to earth and great to hang out with. We caught plenty of fish, buy we could have caught nothing and would have still been well worth. Will definitely do it again

Great Trip With Robert!

VERIFIED

6hr Offshore Fishing (2PM) on August 10, 2024

My buddies and I went out with Robert yesterday and had a great time! Great boat, personality, and very helpful in teaching us new fishing techniques. He also put us right on top of the fish, which gave us a great dinner! We will book with Robert the next time we are in Destin and encourage you to book him with confidence & enjoy a fun day on the water!
