If you're ready to try fishing in beautiful Destin, Florida waters, look no further than Executive Saltwater Charters. Having logged many hours on these waters, Master Captain Barry is prepared to put you on fish.
Cobia (seasonal), Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, Speckled Trout, Tarpon (seasonal) and more inhabit these waters if conditions are right.

During the season, you can expect to fish nearshore, targeting species such as Cobia and Tarpon.
Capt. Barry welcomes children ages 6 and up, so go ahead and bring the family along. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!
You'll step aboard a 27' Blazer Boat with ample space for 4 passengers (+ one child). It has a site tower and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is included when available. There's no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle!
You can't go wrong when you bring sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor and no glass bottles. Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain and can tell you more.

Want to catch 40in/40lb Bull Reds? Or you want to fill the cooler with Magnum Specks? How about both... Executive Charters will put you on em. Large, comfortable, powerful Bay Rig to keep you safe and dry. Capn George was rowing the boat for us... just as nice as can be and kept every hook full of shrimp or croaker just as fast as we could pull them in. We had such a great family trip I called Barry with Executive Charter and said... "Let's do that again!"... so we extended our stay and sure enough Uncle George took us out two days later and we did the same thing all over again. Can hardly wait till next go around.
Wow!!! What an incredible review and we “Thank You”, so much!! Uncle (Captain) George definitely had a blast with y’all and we hope to see you again real soon! Thanks again! Captain Barry
Captain George was great, he put us on different variety of fish. Very informative and geat with my son and his buddy. My son caught his personal best fish to date on this trip. I would highly recommend to anyone looking at doing some fishing in the gulf.
Awesome!!! Thanks so much for the review!! We are definitely looking forward to y’all fishing with us again! Thanks again! Captain Barry
We had a lot of fun on this trip. Captain George knows his stuff and had no problem putting us on the fish. Our little guy couldnt reel in the big ones and then got sea sick so he took us to a nice calm area and he was able to pull in a big red. Awesome trip.
Awesome!!! So glad y’all had a great time!! We are definitely looking forward to seeing y’all again soon! And yes, Captain George knows his stuff!!! 👍🏻😎 Captain Barry
My family and I had a great time fishing today with George. Two of us got sea sick and he did everything in this power to help out, including going out of his way to find us some dolphins! My 21 year old and 11 year old had an absolute blast. Highly recommend!
Awesome!! Thanks so much for the review! We are definitely looking forward to seeing y’all again soon. Thanks again! Captain Barry
George was our captain, he knows the tides, baits and spots. He got us on the fish early caught Snapper, Red Fish, Blues, & Grouper. Left with a bag or fillets and great memories. My 12 yr sons caught the biggest fish of their lives, me too.
Awesome!!! Thanks so much for the review and we are definitely looking forward to seeing y’all again soon!! Thanks again! Captain Barry
