The Charter Boat Daybreak is the perfect choice for a family fishing adventure. The boat is meticulously maintained, and has plenty of room to fish for up to 6 passengers.

The Daybreak is a no-nonsense fishing machine that has been recently upgraded with new electronics and tackle.

What makes the Daybreak unique is the catamaran style hull. This hull design allows the boat to be quick and responsive in all sea conditions. It also makes for an incredibly stable fishing platform with less side to side motion than most v-hull vessels. This could benefit anyone prone to motion sickness. The full cabin is air-conditioned, has plenty of seating, several bunks, and a walk-in bathroom.

The boat has both a Federal Reef Fish Permit and a Federal Migratory/Pelagic permit, as well as a vessel fishing license that covers all passengers. It carries all required safety equipment, including an EPIRB, VMS, life raft, life jackets, flares, and a VHF radio. There is also xm satellite radio with speakers in the cabin and on the back deck as well as a microwave.

The professional first mate will take care of anything you need to fish and work hard to make sure you enjoy your trip.  Once back at the dock, he will also clean the fish.

We pride ourselves on providing a professional, family-friendly experience,  and we strive to make sure that fishing aboard the Daybreak is the best part of your vacation!

Captain Stan started fishing the waters of Destin in the early 80's when he was a teenager and has held a USCG license since 1991. He earned his degree in Marine Biology from the University of South Alabama, then returned to Destin Harbor where he captained the party boat Emanuel for eight years. He owned and operated the charter boat Sea Winder from 1999 to 2013. Capt. Stan then purchased and refurbished the charter boat Destination which he currently operates. In the Fall of 2022, he purchased the charter boat Daybreak, operated by Capt. Tyler Short. Its was a perfect addition to the Destination.
