Pelican – Private Fishing 1-20 Passenger 

4.8/5 (48 reviews)
 600 Harbor Boulevard, Destin, FL 32541, United States

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.

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.
