210 Harbor Boulevard
Destin, FL, United States

Spend the day with First Light and see what’s biting in Destin! With Captain Tyler at the helm, you’re in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Species like Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, Swordfish, Sailfish, Blue Marlin, Gray Triggerfish, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Scamp Grouper, Gag Grouper, Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper, Amberjack, and more are in the cards if you come at the right time of year. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish.

Kids are welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day!  Don’t forget to bring food and drinks!

You’ll be casting lines from a 47’ G&S sportfishing vessel that can carry up to 10 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s an inside cabin with a bathroom, air conditioning, tv with Directv, kitchen, and plenty of lounging space.  Capt. Tyler will provide rods and reels for you.

You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. A 20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for the deckhand's hard work.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. It’s never a bad idea to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with First Light!

wanted a monster, got a monster.
8 Hour Trip – Way Offshore AM on October 28, 20257 adults
wanted black fin, and had only caught smaller fish preciously. Captain and deckhand were patient, doing everything to put us on black fin when the bonita were angry and practically jumping in the boat. we caught 2 bigger than average tuna. Great boat, great crew. will be back again, and Last Light is now the only boat for me.

We caught a 200 lb shark!!!!
4 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM on March 27, 20258 adults
We went into the trip just hoping to catch some fish but we decided to ask if we could do a mix of shark fishing and regular fishing since we had 4 kids aged 18 with us! We not only caught some super cool fish and an over 20 inch grouper…we caught an almost 200 LB Bull shark! Our family will never forget this experience! We would 100% recommend the charter to everyone! Worth every penny!

6 Hour Trip on August 6, 20256 adults1 child
Captain and crew were amazing - Tyler getting us on the fish and Jesse helping with every need! Jesse worked hard with our group of 7 and I couldn’t express my gratitude enough! They bait the hook which was appreciated. The cabin was a great little getaway for the kids, out of the sun and rain. Would choose them in a heartbeat without any reservations!
