If you’re ready to experience fishing in Destin, book a trip with Full Contact Charters.

Bluefish, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Flounder, Gag Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Snowy Grouper, Red Grouper, Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Sailfish, Blacktip Shark,  Bull Shark, Lemon Shark, Mako Shark, Nurse Shark, Tiger Shark,  Cubera Snapper, Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Swordfish, Tarpon, Bigeye Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, and more can be found in these waters if conditions are right.

During the trip, you might be spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Greg can also help you try kite fishing. Fish caught during the trip are yours to take home, so long as they’re within the legal limit. The crew can even clean your catch for you. Have a cooler ready in the car!

If you’re traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks and drinks are always a good idea so that everybody is energized during the journey!

Capt. Greg will bring you aboard a 38’ Luhrs express cruiser that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience.

You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, 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 work hard to make your trip count, so a 20% tip is customary. The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations.
