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!

Fishing with Barry
4 Hour Trip — Bay Fishing on March 23, 20262 adults1 child
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.

Could not have asked for a better day fishing. Huge red fish and speckled trout. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking to go fishing. The captain was professional and friendly which is definitely saying something these days. I will definitely go again when I’m back in this area.

4 Hour Trip — Bay Fishing on July 7, 20252 adults1 child
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.

Big fish! Bigger Fun!
6 Hour Trip — Bay Fishing on September 29, 20252 adults1 child
My son, grandson and I went on our first saltwater fishing trip with Captain Barry and his crew. He patiently taught us as novices, and took us to the places fish were biting. Caught lots of big fish, even though others around us weren’t having much luck. Will definitely make ESC a regular feature of our fall Destin vacation.
