Pelican Adventures offers fantastic trips targeting a range of offshore species. Fishing out of Destin, Florida, a town famous for its fishing, they are within easy reach of the bountiful blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Fishing with Pelican Adventures groups of all sizes can find a trip to suit them. From a morning or afternoon out with family or friends catching a Variety of Snapper, King Mackerel, and Trigger, to a 12-hour offshore extravaganza targeting Amberjack and Grouper (and many other amazing species), these guys will have the trip for you. They also provide equipment for a range of fishing techniques including bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, and spinning, and their highly-skilled first mate will work tirelessly to keep the rods bending, no matter how they’re set up.
All Pelican Adventures fishing trips come with fishing licenses for all on board.

I recommend you should have front glass window. So we can look out for views.

Many thanks to Captain Mark and crew for a great time. Kai and Stiles did an amazing job keeping 9 anglers fishing from start to finish and were a great source of knowledge for any questions we threw at them. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anybody and will certainly rebook the next time we find ourselves in Destin.
