Make the most of your time in Destin and go fishing with Testify Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain PJ knows them forwards and back.
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Porgy, Amberjack, Scamp Grouper, Gag Grouper, Blacktip Shark, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Cobia, and anything else that bites. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you are worried about getting seasick, go ahead and take your medicine the night before so that nothing can stand in the way of a great day. It's recommended to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
You'll be dropping lines from a 34' Hatteras offshore sport fishing with a capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is on the agenda to catch before you head out for the bigger fish, so the challenge begins early.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work for tips, and it's customary and much appreciated to offer a 20% tip. Mates will take care of you. Please take care of them. The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
Now's the time to experience fishing in Destin for yourself and get hooked up with Testify Charters!
Can't wait to see ya!

Got to the dock, the parking was provided with the chrater which was super convenient. Me and my friends had an absolute blast. Captain PJ and 2nd mate Hunter were super welcoming and got us to the fish. 10 out 10 recommend.
Weather was a bit iffy, and we had to go through some heavy rain on the way out (cabin kept everyone dry). I was surprised how well the boat handled the ocean...decent ride considering the weather. Once out to the spots, Captain PJ put us on fish. Landed a few Red Snapper and even a very nice Amberjack and Gag Grouper. With decent weather, I am sure we would have landed more but having fished many times in the Gulf of America, I would consider this a productive outing. Can't count how many times I have gone out and been disappointed...this was not one of them (other than the weather).
We were only on a four hour trip today. It really doesn’t give the CAPTAIN enough time to get us out to the better fishing grounds. We would like to go again with the same crew of PJ and Krueger, but for a longer time on the water so we can get further out. 6 or 8 hr would be better. The captain, PJ, and Krueger, the first mate were very helpful. Enjoyable to be with.
PJ and Kruger were both great, very friendly and knowledgeable. Took us to multiple locations trying to keep us on fish. Kruger was attentive at keeping our lines baited and in the water. He was also very helpful and patient helping us learn what we needed to do to catch fish. We had a great time and took home a lot of fish.
everyone had a good time and we caught fish! captain and mate were both solid guys we will definitely reach out to them the next time we are in destin.
