Best Trip Ever
Half Day 5 Hour Fishing on July 6, 20263 adults

Took my 2 teenage boys fishing as we always try and do when we got the coast and got recommended by the locals for this captain and charter. From the beginning he didn’t disappoint. From the ride out, until fish on be kept us all entertained and educated myself and my boys on the water. And jogging and rigging, put us on for a good 5 hrs, we Caught some king mackerel’s , and some jacks. My boys are ages 17 and 19 and they said this captain, and first Nate Sebastian was the favorites out of all. He made sure we caught fish and had a great time, we was not disappointed. Highly recommend 10 out of 10 would go again with!! Thanks Capt for a wonderful experience with all up to date equipment, the boat is well maintained, and was great to step inside and take a break in between the action!!

Angler's Slam 6 Hour Fishing on July 1, 20264 adults

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best experiences I’ve ever had! We caught a ton of fish and had an absolute blast from start to finish. The captain and crew were outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time. We caught mahi-mahi, Spanish mackerel, and bonito, and they kept us on fish all day. Whether you’re an experienced angler or it’s your first time on a private charter, I highly recommend this trip. We’ll definitely be booking another trip. Thanks for an unforgettable day on the water!

What a fantastic day!!!
Exciting 10 Hour Fishing Trip on June 21, 20265 adults

Brought my family to Destin for fishing on fathers day. we studied carefully all the profiles and reviews and Captain Dave stuck out. We chatted and having been on many other trips elsewhere, we felt good. Dave & Jeff we're amazing! 10 hour trip and we hit over and over even with the sea grass being such a problem. 3 Wahoos, 3 Mahi Mahi's, a vra tone of Bonita's and several Jacks. we couldn't have been happier withour boat, and the crew. Highly recommend!
