Blue Heaven Custom Charters offers fishing excursions to anyone who loves spending their days on the water out of Destin, Florida. Get exactly what you want from your time on board – whether you are looking for luxury, hardcore thrills, or just want to test the waters.

Set foot on the 23’ World Cat catamaran. Fresh on the water in 2021, it’s a comfortable, stable vessel that can accommodate up to 4 guests. Its twin 200 HP Yamaha engines can take you to the best spots quickly and safely, and the top-notch navigational electronics are fitted to ensure a quality fishing experience.

Blue Heaven Custom Charters won’t let the big get away. Troll close to the shore for Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, and Amberjack. If you’re craving an offshore experience, the captain can also take you further from the coast. Check the reefs and natural bottom areas for Red Snapper, Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Grouper, and Wahoo. Test yourself in fishing for Shark, Marlin, and Tuna.

All trips come with the equipment required to put your catch together. You will be provided with rods, reels, tackle, bait, and state waters license. When you return to the shore, your catch will be cleaned and filleted for you. Pack something to eat and drink, and welcome aboard!
