    Solid outting

    5 Hour Trip on October 14, 2026 • 6 adults

    Was lookn forward going Deep Sea fishing with my dad and son. Nino and Dom gave solid lectures on different styles of fishing. Nino Captained and kept putting us over some honey holes while Dom prepped, baited, and took off fish as we brought them up. Dom had xtra poles baited at all times to keep the fish active. Dad got 1st place n rodeo for a large Trigger. I missed the board with my grouper but was fun to catch him. My son caught a big grouper that a shark made its lunch about half way thru fight. We caught a board full of fish. Great day, well kept boat and great hosts. Life long memory. Thanks

    Non-stop action

    10 Hour Trip on June 26, 2026 • 5 adults

    If you’re looking for the best fishing charter in Destin, this is it. We booked the 10-hour trip, and from the moment we left the dock until we headed back in, the action never stopped. We were constantly catching fish all day long, and not just the small ones—we landed several beautiful trophy fish that made the trip unforgettable. The captain knew exactly where to put us, and every move seemed to pay off. What truly set this charter apart, though, was the crew. They were absolutely incredible—friendly, professional, hardworking, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone had an amazing time. They kept lines baited, untangled hooks in seconds, celebrated every catch, and were always happy to answer questions and share their knowledge. Their energy and enthusiasm made the experience even better. If you’re on the fence about booking, don’t hesitate. Whether you’re an experienced angler or it’s your first time offshore fishing, this crew will make sure you have an unforgettable day. We came home with a cooler full of fish, incredible memories, and stories we’ll be talking about for years. Five stars isn’t enough. I’d recommend this charter to anyone visiting Destin, and we’ll absolutely be booking with them again the next time we’re in town .

    Wonderful Trip!

    6 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM on September 7, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Nino and his crew took my husband and I along with our nephew and a good friend out on a six hour deep sea fishing experience. We trolled along the way for bait and tried several spots before we hit a gold mine of red snapper! We caught fish as fast as we could reel them in and the crew had another line ready to drop. It was a pure adrenaline rush! We all had a wonderful time and Captain Nino really worked to get us on some good fish. Friendly group and nice boat! I would definitely recommend Into the Blue and can’t wait to book with them again!

    Awesome Family Trip!

    6 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM on June 23, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain and mates did a phenomenal job making sure all our families needs we’re taken care off. They busted their butts to keep us with lines in the water and on the fish. As someone who used to run inshore charters I would 100% recommend Into the Blue! My son is a singer and even recorded a couple of quick songs while on the boat. (realstephenthomas on instagram ) thanks for the great day Capt Nino and mates Matt and Dom you guys do it the rigjt way! Just Book It! We caught red snapper Beeliners/Vermillion snapper,Grouper and triggerfish.

    Amazing crew + 6 hours = 90+ catches with 50+ keepers

    6 Hour Trip on April 21, 2026 • 4 adults

    This crew is …WOW! They know the waters, their boat and how to keep you on the fish. Starting with great communications - they suggested delaying trip by a day due to cool weather and high winds (so glad we accepted the rescheduling!) They were ready for cast off when we arrived. Boat is clean, comfortable and well maintained. You can tell they take pride in what they do and how they do it. Super organized from beginning to end. Nino, Groovy and Dom are all knowledgeable, personable and fun to chat with. We have never had a crew that worked so seamlessly together and that were so focused on making our trip the best. They made sure we caught a ‘BIG ONE’ (unfortunately not in season yet). We can’t wait to come back…but we will be eating on this catch for a good while!

    Book this Charter!!

    6 Hour Trip on April 15, 2026 • 3 adults

    We came down drom Alaska to catch some warm water fish! invited our friend from Colorado and we had the best time! we caught several vermilion snapper, a couple red grouper, a few trigger fish and of course the bait to start, which was pretty exciting because of the dolphins! At the end of our trip we caught amber jack! had to let them go! (out of season) and a Gag grouper! also out of season…. we were all tired and had a Fantastic time! Definitely will be calling on captain Nino and crew again soon! In Destin, Florida you are pretty much guaranteed to be on fish with Into the Blue charter! CPT Nino and crew are absolutely awesome!

    Rough Seas but we still doninated..FISH ON!

    6 Hour Trip on June 23, 2026 • 6 adults

    If you’re looking for a good crew that will bust they’re ass for you. I recommend Into the Blue. We had two to three foot swells every 5 to 7 seconds. The Captain did great maneuvering the boat to keep us with the fish. The deckhands did they’re sea dance during those swells and kept us baited while were yelling, FISH ON, FISH UP!! Thank you Captain Nino and young guns Dom and Matt for a great trip!!

    Great time!

    6 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM on July 6, 2026 • 6 adults

    Went fishing for my for my birthday, with my wife, three daughters and son. Captain Nino did a great job of putting us on fish and the crew was very polite and respectful. The crew hustled hard and we had close to 70 keepers. Hospitality from these young men were exceptional. We will be booking again to say the least.
