Make an adventure out of your next trip in Fort Walton Beach and go fishing with Destin Coast Ceharters. Captain Darryll will be your guide, so you’ll benefit from years of angling experience.

There’s no guarantee when you’re fishing, but just some of the species you can catch around here include Amberjack, Bonito, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Flathead, Flounder, Gag Grouper, Sailfish, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, and more, depending on the season. On the day of your trip, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Destin Coast Charters is a child-friendly charter service, so get ‘em offline and onto the water! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Snacks are also a good idea so nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Your excursion begins aboard a 35’ Convertible with a capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself. A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. A 20% tip is customary to show appreciation for their hard work.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don’t forget to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

For more information about fishing with Destin Coast Charters, you can send Capt. Darryll, a message down below.

Went out with captain Darryl and first mate John today. The water was the roughest I had been on but these two worked their butts off putting us on some good red snapper. Thank you

Thanks Gregg for reaching out and booking with us. We had a great day fishing with your family. Catching our limit on the American Red Snapper is always a bonus, that's what we strive to do. We did try find the Whale Shark and instead were treated with the beautiful Manta Ray. Look forward to seeing you next time you are in town. Captain Darryll and Captain John.
