Book with Mid-Bay Charters for a fun, relaxing and safe trip! They are a child-friendly charter located in sunny Valparaiso, Florida, just a short trip across the Bay from Destin.

You will be fishing aboard a 22 ft Key West boat. It is powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine and is equipped with GPS, fishfinder, and a VHF Radio. Up to 4 guests are welcome to come aboard.  The vessel has its own live bait tank. A very quiet Minn Kota I-pilot trolling motor is added to get you close to where the fish are lurking.

Cruise Crab Island or fish on grass flats, docks, and bridges for Trout and Redfish, Black Drum, Sheepshead, and more, or troll nearshore for King Mackerel, Blackfin Tuna, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish and many more. Trips start at $220, with each package providing a boating excursion during which you could use light tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, spinning or jigging techniques.

All rods, reels and terminal tackle are included in the price, and the crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip.

The crew can meet you in Valparaiso itself, or in the Destin area. Customized to your needs, Mid Bay Charters is just what you are looking for.

Thanks for considering Mid-Bay charters!

Half day trip.

Captain Matt and Gary worked very hard to make it a good day. We lucked out with the weather. Unfortunately what we caught was mostly small and throw backs. Lots of ugly lizard fish. Even though we didn’t break any records the trip was fun and would highly recommend Matt and crew. As the old saying goes “Some days you win, some days you lose, and the others just get rained out.” Thanks Captain Matt and Gary.
