Book your next trip with Big John of Florida Charter Boat and find out what makes the fishing in Destin so unique. With our Captain at the helm, you’re in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

These waters are known for Amberjack, Cobia, Flounder, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Goliath Grouper, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Snowy Grouper, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, and more – with any luck, it won’t be long before "Fish on!"

On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish.

You’ll be dropping lines from a 52’ Offshore sport fishing with a capacity for 15 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience.

Rods, reels, and tackle are included, along with lures. Live bait is available, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates often work for tips and it’s customary to offer them a 20% tip.

The charter boat covers your 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. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

It’s always wise to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. 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.

Your trip with Big John of Florida Charter Boat is just a click away, so why not make it happen?
