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!

4hr trip with family which includes 4 yr old grandson
4 Hour Trip – Gulf Fishing on June 18, 20255 adults1 child
First time going out with Captain PJ and testify charters. We had 5 adults and one 4 year old on his first fishing trip. The trip was only 4 hrs but Captain PJ and his first mate , Kruger, were awesome. My 4 yr old grandson is in awe of Mahi Mahi and really wanted to catch one. Even though they both said it was unlikely that we would catch a Mahi Mahi on a 4 hr trip, it happened and made my grandsons day and probably year. We caught a lot of fish and had a blast. We look forward to fishing with Captain PJ again in the future and highly recommend Testify Charters for anyone who is looking for a great fishing trip.

4 Hour Trip – Gulf Fishing on July 19, 20254 adults
We really enjoyed our time on the boat. We just wish we would’ve had more time so we could go a little bit further out and catch some more fish. Still had a great time. The first mate was really good with my two young ones and the captain was really good with them as well. He let them ride up top when they got back in the harbor. Only thing I would suggest is getting some of those belts to rest the rod handle against your mid section. The boys were pretty sore. We would go fishing with them again for sure.

Great Team
4 hr afternoon on November 29, 20255 adults
Captain did a great job of keeping us on the fish. First mate never let our hooks go without bait. As soon as we pulled up empty hooks, he was baiting them immediately. We had 4 people fishing and he did a great job constantly keeping up with taking fish off the hooks and putting more bait on. None of us had to touch a single fish or bait the entire charter. The weather conditions were terrible and we still caught probably 30-40 red snapper and trigger fish on a 4 hour charter. These guys are laid back and also know what they are doing.

Great crew and great fishing
4 hr afternoon on August 14, 20255 adults
PJ was very honest and good captain. Messaged me before the trip just giving a heads up that the water was very rough in the morning and they had to turn around. We still went out and the water was a little rough but manageable! Caught tons of fish and was able to keep 17. Great work by First Mate Krueger helping with anything we needed. We had some sick people on board but were able to overcome it and keep fishing. Definitely will be back in the future.
