Double D Fishing Charters of NW Florida, LLC

Double D Fishing Charters of NW Florida is a premier charter service offering unforgettable fishing experiences. Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional service and ensuring every trip is both exciting and safe.

We specialize in charters along Florida’s Emerald Coast. Based in Pensacola, FL, we have access to waters from the Alabama state line over to Destin, FL, are mobile, and can accommodate put-ins from Perdido to Destin. We’d love to take you on a trip you’ll remember for years to come!

Captains Paul and Eric provide trips offshore in state waters, inshore in the bays and inter-coastal waterway, night fishing, fly fishing (both inshore and along the coast) and special kid fishing trips.

Species vary by location. Generally, offshore means Snapper, different types of Jacks, Triggerfish and Grouper while inshore means Speckled Sea Trout, Spanish Mackerel and Reds. One of the greatest things about fishing saltwater is the variety of fish you can land.

We welcome you aboard a 24’ Ranger bay boat. We do charters up to 4 passengers (please see the offerings for specific details). In addition to all safety equipment required by the USCG we also have an Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon, EPIRB, to further enhance the safety of our operation. We are equipped with all the tackle required for your outing including quality gear from suppliers like PENN, Daiwa and Okuma. We fish with cut bait, live bait and artificial lures, all of which are provided.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

A few items to bring include sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation. Please be aware that a hold harmless waiver will need to be signed before the start of the charter.

    For Children 10 and under, these kids’ trips will focus on catching anything that will bite. Usually the charter will run along the pilings of the local bridges. It is not meant for adults to fish but rather to hold the camera and take pictures (if the adults want to fish, please consider the 4hr Inshore or Offshore trips). We’ll use spinning tackle or pushbutton reels so that the littlest ones don’t have to work anything complicated with cut bait, live bait or sabiki rigs.

We are Paul and Eric Douglass, a father and son team operating as a 2 person crew, ensuring our customers have the maximum opportunity to catch fish by making sure lines spend more time in the water and less time in the boat. We started our fishing journey in the lakes of East Texas and the Texas Gulf. We moved to Florida in 2020 for the unmatched fishing opportunities offered by the Sunshine State where we continue to dial in the seasonal patters, study the migratory movements of game fish and learn what’s required to catch fish in the Florida Panhandle. Eric, an avid fly fisherman, got his first fly rod at 8 yrs old and started out fishing for anything that would bite in Texas golf course ponds, local lakes and streams. He’s continually upped his fly fishing game and now targets among other species, Reds, Trout, Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish in the Pensacola area. Paul started chasing fish as more than a hobby in 2004 with his first power-boat purchase. Paul has fished in every state along the Gulf and the waters of the Great Lakes, Minnesota’s Boundary Waters, the finest lakes in Texas and now the inland, intercoastal, near coastal and offshore waters from Destin to the Florida/Alabama border (to name a few). We love to share our passion with all who join us whether they be first time fishermen or seasoned salts. Come join us on the water here on the beautiful Emerald Coast. Captains Paul and Eric
