Destin Expeditions – 35' Offshore Sportfisher
Spend the day with Destin Expeditions and let them show you what makes offshore fishing in Destin so memorable! With Captain Cameron at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience. He has been local to the area since 1990 and knows many of the area hotspots. The boat also holds Federal Reef and Pelagic permits, so is allowed to take you out to the deep offshore waters where the giant fish live!
Amberjack, Cobia, Gag Grouper, Kingfish, Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Bull Shark, Red Snapper, Swordfish, Triggerfish, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, and more are in the cards if you come at the right time of year. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that's dinner!
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! You can't go wrong when you bring snacks, drinks, sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation but avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.
Capt. Cameron welcomes you aboard a 35' Flybridge that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without, plus a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle, along with lures, waiting for you. Live bait is included but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. It's customary to tip the Mate 20% or more to show your appreciation (based on service). The charter boat covers your fishing license for the day, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask, and your captain can tell you more.
How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that daydream into a reality with Destin Expeditions!

The charter operator canceled on trip date. This is an automated posting.
first time offshore fishing for the whole group and it didn't disappoint. From the first drop to the last we were getting bites. we caught 9 different species on our trip. Go in with an open mind and a willingness to learn and you will have as good of a time as we did. You will most likely need to leave your hooksets at home to catch fish out there. that was our hardest lesson to learn.
Thanks, Penny! We had a great day with your fsmily! Come back anytime!
Boat was in ok shape, Needs some TLC but got the job done. caught several fish, but nothing we caught was in season. only fish we got to keep was the Vermillion snapper. We caught a couple nice amber jacks and several red snapper but could not keep them because they were not in season, but still extremely fun to catch. (At no fault of the captain oe crew) It didnt help the seas were very rough. All of us got bad motion sickness again at no fault of crew. We took motion sickness medicene thenight beforeand morning before but did not help. All in all tge trip was good and we got to bring some fish home and created good memories. Thank you Captain Cameron and First Mate...
Thanks, Travis. We obviously can’t control the westher, but just domour best to keep you all on the fish! Come back next time and we will try it with calm seas!
it was a great trip. got a little rough as the day went on and we came in early. Had an awesome day and caught lots. all in all it was a good day. Captain Cameron and mate Tony made it a great day. we enjoyed it and will definitely be back to try some other delights on the water. Thanks to you both for making it a great day.
Thanks, Jeff! We look forward to seeing you all again soon!
Captain Cameron and Mate Louis were amazing! They got us out and kept us hooked up all day despite a very cranky ocean. Brought home some good dinner!
Thanks, Jackie! You all were great and hung in there despite the seas!!

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.
