Hoping to cast a line in Shalimar? Then Destin Expeditions has a trip with your name on it! With Captain Cameron at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Amberjack, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Flounder, Gag Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Almaco Jack, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Pompano, Redfish, Gray Triggerfish, Red Snapper, and who knows what yet!

You'll target your catch by spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Cameron can also show you kite fishing.

Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that's dinner!

You'll be dropping lines from a 22' Twin Vee center console with room for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Have in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

It's always wise to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Destin Expeditions will make it easy for you to go fishing in Shalimar. So, how about booking that trip?

GREAT TIME!!
4 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on July 17, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

Had a blast surpassing my boys with their first trip! We will definitely try to come back if we’re ever on vacation near here in the future! 6 hour trip or more is definitely the way to go, it flys by while you’re having fun reeling in fish!

Response from Charter operator

Great charter, captain and first mate. Scenic and adventurous day!
4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 5, 2025 • 3 adults • 3 children

My three boys (13, 12 and 10), plus dad and husband, thoroughly enjoyed our morning with Captain Cameron, First Mate Tony and awesomely outfitted fishing boat. Tony was great with our kids- patient during their first offshore trip, taught them interesting things about each fish they caught (like why trigger fish are called trigger fish), etc. We caught several snapper, a red grouper, fought a shark for a few minutes… lots of variety and adventure. Thanks for the memories, Captain!

Fantastic experience
4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 28, 2023 • 5 adults

Captain Cameron was great, he got us on plenty of fish. My son wanted to catch a shark and Cameron delivered. We only did a half of a day (morning) but we all had a great time and our kids thought that was the highlight of our vacation. Highly recommended

Thanks, Terry - I’m glad you had a great time. Still think we caught the biggest species while catching bait lol. That can stay between us…

Full Day Trip of catching fish w/ Capt. Cameron
8 Hour Trip on February 19, 2023

I've done a few fishing charters before but I've never had as much fun. I wouldn't consider myself a 'fisherman' so I'm always a nervous about booking. But I had no reason to fret. Everything was great and I highly recommend Cameron! Can't wait to get back out there!

I am Captain Cameron Parkhurst, an Animal Science Major from the University of Florida as well as a Scuba Instructor. I'm 30 plus years local to the area. My marine science background and knowledge of how fish position themselves in various habitat (from seeing them underwater) really helps to add layers of knowledge to my group's fishing experience. I've held a boat captain's license since 1997 and also am first aid/CPR trained.

    Spanish Mackerel

    Stayed inshore with our crew for today and left the Spanish biting this AM. Could have kept our limit, but they only wanted one dinner. Caught some mangroves and redfish…didn’t take many pictures as the wind was cranking out of the SW and there was intermittent sea fog in the area today. We covered some ground, caught fish and had a good time!

    Vermilion Snapper
    We had a party of three wanting a little meat for the freezer, so headed south to some rocky bottom. Red Snapper were prevalent (out of season and released), but the Triggerfish and Mingo Snapper came home for dinner. Was fun fishing with lighter tackle and fish pulling throughout the trip!
  • A cooler filled with various fish, likely caught during a fishing trip, showcasing a successful day on the water.

    Spanish Mackerel
    We left the marina and cruised around Destin, locating birds and fish working bait on the flats north of Destin Bridge. There were a lot of ladyfish, Spanish Mackerel, and some Jacks marauding the flats. We got our limit of Spanish to eat for dinner and had other releases. Was a fun short afternoon and we got to enjoy a beautiful sunset on the water!
