Windwalker II Charters
+12Windwalker II Charters is based in Destin, Florida - “The World’s Luckiest Fishing Village”. The company offers fun fishing experience in the Gulf of Mexico. An easy-going vessel, a relaxed atmosphere, an experienced and knowledgeable crew – what else is needed for a fun day out on the water?
Enjoy your fishing trip with Windwalker II Charters aboard a 48-ft custom-built boat, which comes powered by a 300 HP Detroit Diesel engine. This fishing machine can accommodate up to fifteen anglers. Its navigational electronics include a GPS, a VHF radio, and a fish finder. The boat’s flybridge will aid your search for the fish and an ice-box will keep the catch fresh and the drinks cool during the day. Inside the vessel there is a toilet, which is a much-needed thing when staying on the water. As well as that, there is a live bait tank fitted along with downriggers for a professional fishing experience.
The waters of Destin are abundant with a wide range of fish species, and Windwalker II Charters is familiar with the methods that work best to make an outstanding catch possible.
Enjoy a productive 4-6-hour trip to Destin’s shallow waters, or travel further out to deeper waters on a longer trip. Go trolling close to the shore for Spanish Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel, and Bonito. Or take a ride further out for an exciting fight with those blue water monsters – Wahoo, Tuna, White Marlin, Sailfish, and Blue Marlin.
A fishing trip with Windwalker II Charters comes inclusive with rods, reels, tackle, lures, and live bait, along with the licenses for you and your group. If you decide to keep the catch, it will be cleaned and filleted after the trip for a ride home, where you could take it for dinner later. Feel free to bring your own snacks and drinks!
Take advantage of the fun of fishing with Windwalker II Charters!

Great trip for us newbies.
5 Hour Trip (AM) on June 9, 2025
Bernie did a great job getting us in and out of port and putting us on fish. Mark was awesome with our varied experience in fishing and physical limitations of my parents. He kept our lines set and in the water. There were 8 of us(ages 12-75)! If this is your first trip, DON’T take Mark’s urgency for being rude. Trust me I read a lot of comments. It is imperative to get the fish in the boat ASAP. Other predators want your catch more than you. Their rigs are not cheap either so pay attention to instructions. If he is fixing your rig every cast, you aren’t going to be catching much. Thank you both very much. I know we weren’t the easiest. I would definitely recommend the Bernie, Mark and the Windwalker II

Spring Break Fishing Trip
4 Hour Trip (AM) on March 25, 2025
Our groups had a fantastic time on this fishing trip! The crew was professional, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. The boat was clean and well-equipped, and the Captain knew exactly where to take us for the best catches. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a beginner, they ensure everyone has a great time. We caught some incredible fish. I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a top-notch fishing adventure. Can't wait to go again!

Bachelorette Takeover
5 Hour Trip (AM) on November 23, 2024
The Deckhand, Mark, took on 11 girls and took it like a champ. He was patient when teaching us, always kept our bait on our lines, and was easy to talk to/helped us feel comfortable when most of the group had never fished before! He even let us blare Morgan Wallen the whole time. Overall, I think every person caught a fish, with several people catching a fish almost every time they dropped their line. We had 12 girls and I think 7 or 8 were able to fish at the same time. But for a 5 hour trip, taking turns was needed! It’s fun getting to take a break and watch your friends catch fish. We had the best time and I can’t recommend & thank Captain Bernie and Mark enough!!

Had a great day on the WindwalkerII recently in Destin, FL. Captain Bernie put us on the fish and mate Mark did the rest to keep 10 of us catching when we were able to. Had a great fish fry that night!

Great trip for 5 adults and 10 kids
5 Hour Trip (AM) on April 23, 2025
Our large group of novice anglers and kids had a great time. Captain Bernie put us in fish and the first mate Mark was running around all over the deck baiting hooks and taking fish off. The kids had a blast and Mark was patient with them and all of us.

Meet your captain
Destin, Florida, United States
Captain Bernie Lefebvre is a native of Fort Walton Beach, Florida, brought to the area via his father's military assignment. The opportunity to grow up on the waters of the Emerald Coast allowed Bernie to gain both knowledge and experience. His passion for fishing began when he was a young boy, when he went fishing with his Dad and friends. In 1984, Bernie worked with a friend and his father for a Destin charter boat business. While in college, Bernie worked as a deckhand and dreamed about starting his own company, which he did after 15 years of working in the Information Technology field. Captain Bernie has taken part in various fishing tournaments, where he became a big fan of offshore trolling. For Bernie, the greatest thing about fishing is the excitement and fun it can provide to people of all ages!
