6-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared

Bodacious day on the water!

VERIFIED

If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing trip, look no further than Jody Family Adventures! We caught so many fish we lost count—and it wasn’t by luck. “Scuba Steve,” Moose, and the legendary Captain Aaron know exactly where the fish are biting and don’t waste a second on anything that’s not hot. Their gear? Top-notch. Everything was in excellent condition, making it smooth and easy to reel in fish after fish. These guys are true pros, and they’ve got the personalities to match—fun, friendly, and totally dialed in. Oh, and let’s not forget their sexy regular, Sean… talk about easy on the eyes. A little bonus to an already fantastic adventure. 😏 Whether you’re new to fishing or a seasoned angler, Jody Family Adventures delivers the kind of day that makes memories—and fills coolers. 🎣🔥 10/10 would fish again!

This was our first fishing trip with my 2 teenage sons & we were debating between a party fishing boat or private charter & so happy to have chosen this one!!! The crew was lively, helpful, & overall just grandtastic! It was a 3 in 1 deal and who knew that we would see lots of dolphins (front of the boat) swimming with us & on the way in, sit up top & watch the sunset! They cleaned our fish & we ate them that night! So delicious! I would definitely recommend a must do in Destin & we will definitely do this every year! Thank you so much Sweet Jody!!!

6-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared

Best way to get out on the Gulf affordably

VERIFIED

Went out with Sweet Jody and got 6 snappers, 1 scamp grouper, 4-5 triggerfish, 2 squirrel fish, and got broke off by something pretty big at the side of the boat. Great crew and an air conditioned room with toilets and available snacks/drinks at a reasonable price. Captain and the deckhands made everyone laugh and feel at home while making sure to prioritize safety on the water and respect for the fellow anglers. 6 hours of Deep Sea Fishing for 130$ well worth it and there was a double rainbow over the marina when I arrived

Crew was helpful. Daughter didnt catch anything until last stop, I asked crew to help her and Stone gave her advice, and helped her land 2 fish on last drop line. Thankful for the help. Saw several Dolphins, which was nice but according to the captain, they scare the fish away so you actually don't want to see dolphins on a fishing trip. Haha. (The young girl working the check in on Sunday June 15th Fathers day was terrible and had zero customer service skills. zero stars for her.)

5-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared

Great venue for young fisher-kids, fun for parents too, great crew!

VERIFIED

We enjoyed very part of our fishing trip. We had planned to be on the 230pm trip but it was cancelled due to not enough participants signing up and was changed to 730am, that part we didn't like but managed ok. The kids caught small fish, not eating size but were happy with the experience. The cost was very reasonable and all people aboard were great, the water was smooth, really a nice trip and ready to go again soon.
