If you're ready to come see why Destin is known as the 'World's Luckiest Fishing Village', look no further than the Fish-N-Fool. Captain Reid is ready to show you how we earned this distinction.

The Fish-N-Fool is a 39' Infinity offshore sport fishing boat with a capacity for 6 passengers. We have brand new top-of-the-line electronics installed in 2023. There's not a charter boat in the Destin fleet that can match the tech we have to locate that catch of a lifetime! We have an air-conditioned cabin to cool off after an epic fish battle. There is also a toilet on board for your convenience.

You're likely to fish for Red Snapper, Amberjack, King Mackerel, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Great Barracuda, Swordfish, Yellowfin Tuna, and more if conditions are right. Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations/seasonality. Your fishing license for the day is covered by this federally permitted charter boat. Depending on the length of your trip and target species, you will likely troll and bottom fish using a variety of tackle. You'll find new or freshly serviced rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! We have all of the necessary safety gear but you might consider bringing a comfortable life vest for your young ones if you plan to have them wear one while fishing. Grandparents are encouraged to join too!

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. He will bait your hooks and clean your catch. It's customary to tip the Mate 15–20% to show your appreciation.

Don't forget a hat, polarized sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). Bring a cooler to take home your catch.

Hope you will join us on the Fish-N-Fool

    4 Hour trip

    4 Hour Trip on June 3, 2023 • 2 adults

    My wife and I booked a 4 hour trip and from the very beginning we had a great experience! The crew was more than Professional and kind. The owner explained our trip what to expect. Once we set off the captain put us right on point as Travis, who worked the deck (and very knowledgeable), guided us on how to use the equipment and helped with baiting and unhooking the fish. We HIGHLY recommend booking with Fish N Fool! (Next time a 6hr trip... or more!)

    Great experience!

    6 Hour Trip on July 6, 2024 • 6 adults

    Eric and Moose did an excellent job accommodating our group of six. They briefed us on what kind of fish we would be catching for the day and patiently answered any questions we had. Moose took very good care of us from baiting our hooks to setting our line. We would recommend them 100%

    More riding than fishing.

    4 Hour Trip on July 10, 2023 • 4 adults

    Including fishing fir bait we may have actually fished for 1 hour on a 4 hour trip. We fished several spots with only 2 fish and finally had some lick and caught 6 fish on the last spot. We have fished in Dsstin snd Ft. Walton area since the 80's and never had a trip with only 8 fish. The hoat was very clean and comfirtable. The crew did their job but not much interaction during the trip.
