Step aboard the Marlin Mujer, a 48' Daytona sportfishing vessel with a storied legacy on the water. She's fished the Eastern Seaboard and even as far south as Costa Rica, and now she's writing her next chapter in the stunning waters of the Emerald Coast—departing from Fort Walton Beach, just over the bridge from Destin.

With decades of combined experience, Captain Dave and Captain Jeff bring unmatched local knowledge and a deep respect for the sea. Whether you're a seasoned angler chasing trophy fish or a first-timer looking for fun, they'll tailor your trip with expertise, patience, and plenty of adventure.

What's Biting? Depending on the season, you could reel in:

Gag & Black Grouper

Mangrove & Vermilion Snapper

Black Seabass, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia

Blacktip, Bull, Lemon & Tiger Sharks

Mahi, Tuna, Swordfish, Marlin & more

Expect a mix of trolling and bottom fishing with light or heavy tackle—all trips are customized to conditions and your goals.

Your Ride: The Marlin Mujer is outfitted with outriggers, quality gear, and a clean restroom for comfort. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, and no fishing license is required. Some catches may need to be released due to regulations—just ask your captain for guidance.

Whether you're chasing big game or soaking up the Gulf's beauty, Catch and Cruise Adventures makes it easy to enjoy the thrill of fishing in one of the most exciting fisheries in the world.

Dave & Dewayne
Special 10 hour trip for Patricia Vega on May 10, 20256 adults
Capt. Dave was great! He moved our fishing trip due to weather which was fine with us. Unfortunately it was still pretty rough. We did catch 5 Mahi-mahi and then we decided to go closer to shore where not rough and bottom fish. We had a great time fishing regardless off-shore or bottom fishing. Crew was flexible and accommodating. They did everything to make our trip enjoyable.

June fishing trip
Full Day 8 Hour Fishing on June 16, 20252 adults
Had a great time fishing with Capt. Joe and Capt. Dwayne. Pretty rough seas but that big boat had no problem with it. Despite the conditions we managed to put some awesome fish in the boat and Joe and Dwayne did great job with the boat and keeping 6 lines clear and in the water. All in all a great day,
