Executive Saltwater Charters - Bay
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. On these trips, you can expect to use light tackle in and around the Bay, fishing for Redfish and Speckled Trout, to name a few. 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.
Time to treat yourself to a day on the water with Executive Saltwater Charters!

4 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing (AM)
Captain Barry and George
These two guys were amazing. Great personalities from the jump they made us feel welcomed and engaged conversation the whole time. Me and my family had a goal to catch fish, that goal was accomplished right away we caught all the target species we wanted red drum, speckled trout and sand trout. We had a great time we lost count how many fish we brought In (guessing around 45 at least). We reccomend them and we will be coming back next year for some more fishing.

Destin Bay Fishing
We throughly enjoyed our trip with Capt. Barry. He worked tirelessly to try to put us on some fish. We must have moved to at least 10 different locations. The sharks just kept stealing our fish! We did manage to get 1 big red snapper and 1 bonito fish. Capt. Barry extended the trip by several hours in attempt to allow us to catch fish. We would book with him again as we feel he was very knowledgeable despite not catching many fish.

6 Hour Trip - Bay Fishing (AM)
Great day on the water!
We had a great day even though we started off slow. Tried to catch some Spanish Mackerel first, but had no luck. Then we hit several different in-shore locations though out hitting Reds. Ended up catching 18 of them and caught one Flounder. Captain Barry was great to hang out with and helped us through out the day. Would go out with Captain Barry again on our next charter fishing trip.

Great charter for me and my wife
Although I am an experienced fisherman, Captain Ryan did a great job helping my wife who is now taking a liking to saltwater fishing. He patiently and continuously helped her, allowing me to focus on fishing--consequently, she caught more fish! It was great. He put us on multiple species, landing many fish. Unfortunately, not all were legal size or within season, but we were able to keep enough fish for a wonderful meal at the end of the day. Very nice boat, and very good tackle.

Amazing fishing trip
Had a great day on the water with the family. We caught a wide variety of fish, and saw tons of wildlife including multiple dolphins. Barry was kind and knowledgeable. He took us out of the bay where we caught amberjack and Cobia. Will definitely be going on another charter with him!
