Welcome aboard our Charter Boat Huntress! Deep sea fishing has been a way of life in Destin for a long time.

Known as the World's Luckiest Fishing Village, your own Destin deep sea adventure will begin at AJ's Seafood and Oyster House. AJ's is located about a 1/2 mile east of the Destin bridge, right in the heart of the Emerald Coast.

The Huntress is a 40' Infinity Fiberglass Sport Fisherman, powered by Twin (430 Hp) Cummins diesel engines, U.S. Coast Guard approved for up to 6 passengers. The vessel features an air-conditioned cabin, a clean restroom, and of course - a friendly crew! Above all, Huntress is fast, and well equipped with all the latest in marine electronics. We use S&M custom-built rods, and Penn & Shimano reels exclusively.

We specialize in 4 to 12-hour deep sea charters, including bottom fishing for the likes of Red Snapper and Grouper, Amberjack and Triggerfish, sight fishing for Cobia and Tarpon (depending on the season), and trolling for Dorado, Wahoo, King Mackerel, Blackfin Tuna and Bonito. All dead bait, tackle, ice and fishing licenses are provided, all you need to do is bring whatever you want to eat and drink.

Captain Mike Graef has been fishing the offshore waters of Destin since 1989, and he and First Mate Carter Philips are bound to make your deep sea fishing experience a truly memorable one. Need more proof? If there's one fishing event Destin is known for, it's the Destin Fishing Rodeo. Our very own captain Mike Graef was named 2011 Destin Fishing Rodeo Captain of the Year 2011 and 2015.

Great Trip
10 Hour Trip on October 6, 2026 • 2 adults • 3 children

I had a 10 hr trip booked for my son in law and 3 grandsons. The weather turned bad the day of the trip, but Captain Mike and Dominique salvaged the trip by doing a nearshore 4 hr trip in order to allow my grandsons the opportunity to so some trolling. My grandsons all caught a bunch of bonita and had a blast. The weather was extremely windy and 5’-6’ waves. Captain Mike and Dominque made the trip completely safe. If you’re looking for a great charter, look no further. Thank you Captain Mike and Mate Dominique. We will be back.

Capt. Mike was excellent at finding fish. Zach and Dom made sure all baits were good and hustled all day on our 10 hour trip. We managed to make the leader board in three spots in the Destin Fishing Rodeo. Highly recommend "Huntress".

actually, it really was the best trip ever!
6 Hour Trip (AM) on October 2, 2026 • 4 adults

Capt Mike and 1st mate Dom were literal warriors for willing to be out in 6’ swells all day. The capt never batted an eye and made sure we caught plenty and had a blast before taking us back in. I’ve been on over 10 charter boats in Destin before, the Huntress has been the best by far. We’ll be back again next year!

Reported catch:
Amberjack
Bonito
Wahoo
Gray Triggerfish

Great trip
8 Hour Trip on November 24, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 child

We had a great time. Targeted tuna, unfortunately the sharks were there but we had a great time fishing the ones that hit. Had a younger fisherman in our party and Mike made sure he had a trip to remember getting us on some Virmillion Snapper. Justin worked hard to make sure our lines were in the water the whole time. We can’t wait to get back in the boat and try again. 10/10 would recommend this boat and crew.

Capt. Mike has been navigating the waters of Destin, Florida for 25 years and is ready to take you on a therapeutic fishing excursion. Using bottom fishing, trolling, and other techniques, you'll have a chance to catch Lane Snapper, Banded Rudderfish and Skipjack. The only way to learn is to join them on the water.
