Make an adventure out of your next trip in Destin and go fishing with Charter Boat Snapper Trapper. With Captain Tim at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
These waters are known for Amberjack, Gag Grouper, Mackerel, Red Grouper, Vermilion Snapper, Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Scamp Grouper, Sailfish, Blacktip Shark, Lane Snapper, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some. You can expect to do some spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are never a bad idea for a boost of energy when needed!
You'll be fishing aboard a 36' sportfishing vessel that can carry up to 6 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. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 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 some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.
It's always wise to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Jacob ToalRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat team
5 trolling and bottom fishing on June 1, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 childrenWe had an amazing time fishing on the Snapper Trapper! Tim and Jacob were fantastic guides and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. The boat is huge, very clean, and extremely comfortable. I’ve been deep-sea fishing in Destin several times, and this was probably one of the toughest days I’ve experienced because the ocean simply wasn’t cooperating. The waves were rough, the ride was very bumpy, and the water conditions weren’t ideal. Despite those challenging conditions, Tim and Jacob still managed to put us on fish at every spot we visited. I probably would have caught even more fish if I hadn’t made the mistake of fighting them like I was bass fishing. Deep-sea fishing requires a different technique, and I was trying to pull them in too aggressively instead of letting the gear do the work. That’s on me, not the crew! Tim and Jacob were knowledgeable, hardworking, and committed to making sure everyone had a successful trip. I highly recommend the Snapper Trapper to anyone looking for a great fishing charter. We’ll definitely be back!

6 hr Combo fishing and snorkeling on June 2, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 childWe had a blast catching ALL the fish with Captain Tim and Jake! Captain knew exactly where to put us to get the fish and Jake worked his butt off to keep us baited and took care of all the dirty fish stuff! Don’t miss out on these memories with your family!

6 Hour Trip, Bottom fishing on June 20, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 childWe had an awesome morning of fishing with Captain Tim and Jake! They kept us on fish and managed all our poles and bait. Especially appreciated how Jake took care of our 9 year old (who caught the most fish). Highly recommend.

4 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM on October 24, 2025Snapper Trapper Fishing Charters with Captain Tim Baxter is everything you want in a day on the water—and then some. From the moment we left the dock, it was clear Captain Tim knows these waters like the back of his hand. Professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, he puts you on the fish fast and keeps the action going. The boat is spotless and well-equipped, the gear is top-notch, and Captain Tim makes sure everyone—first-timers and seasoned anglers alike—has a blast. He’s patient, encouraging, and clearly loves what he does, which makes the entire trip feel relaxed, fun, and unforgettable. Whether you’re looking for a serious fishing adventure, a family-friendly outing, or an epic day with friends, Snapper Trapper delivers. We caught great fish, made great memories, and laughed the entire time.

You’ll be talking about this trip long after the coolers are empty. 🎣🔥

Captain Tim and Jacob were excellent!
5 trolling and bottom fishing on October 3, 2026 • 4 adultsCaptain Tim and Jacob made the first charter fishing experience with our family excellent. They communicated well, were easy going/fun and provided exceptional support for us first timers. They went out of their way to find us fish which we cooked up at our rental for an unforgettable shore meal and experience.
