There's a fish with your name on it in Destin, and Catch 22 Charters will help you catch it! Military veteran ,Owner and operator , Captain John will be your guide, bringing aboard years of angling experience.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Amberjack, Cobia, Gag Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Almaco Jack, Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Gray Triggerfish, Wahoo, and anything else that bites. On the day of your trip, you're likely to troll and bottom fish.

You'll be casting lines from a 24' Sea Fox Center console that holds up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, 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.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, 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.

Trips with Catch 22 Charters are child-friendly, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Don't forget to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Catch 22 Charters.
