Excited to catch some fish in Destin? Only Fins Charters is your ticket! With Gulf Grown fishing vessel crew at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
Depending on the conditions, and trip length you might hook into Amberjack, Banded Rudderfish, Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Mangrove Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Red Snapper, Bigeye Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel (Kingfish), and who knows what else! During the trip you might be spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. and crew are very helpful and accommodating.
Children are welcome, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Child-sized life vests are available. Just bring whatever you’ll want to eat or drink in the amount of time we’re gone.
Your fishing machine for the day is a 48' Sportfisher with room for 29 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. We can accommodate someone in a wheelchair chair. Boat has a huge back deck for lots of fishing room.
You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
You'll have the help of a First Mate and sometimes 2 to put you on fish. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 15-20% tip is customary.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain or mate.
Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed.
Now, time to hit the water with Only Fins Charters and their Charter Boat Gulf Grown (the crew grew up in the Gulf)!

These guys took great care of my family. Put them on some fish but more importantly for me, the safety of my family was first. Even conducted a safety meeting before leaving the dock. Being part of the oilfield industry all of my life, we take safety very seriously and these guys did the same for me and my family. All around top notch crew. Thanks guys, see you next year!!

Great Captain and Crew but I will delete FishingBooker app, never will I use y'all again! No communication and my trip never came up on the app! Had to msg the Captain separately or we would have missed our trip! Never again!
