King of Kings Charters specializes in family-friendly fishing trips out of Destin. After just one trip with Captain Jayson, you will know why Destin is called the “world’s luckiest fishing village”.
King of Kings Charters especially enjoys sharing their wealth of local knowledge with their younger anglers. With a family of his own, Captain Jayson shares the same mentality when it comes down to a family-friendly time. Take your kids with you introduce them to fishing. There is nothing like seeing a child’s smile when they reel in their first fish!
Hang on and enjoy the ride aboard the 35’ JC powered by a 450 HP Cummins engine. There is plenty of space for up to six guests to fish in comfort and relax in between bites. The vessel is also outfitted with all the navigational equipment you’ll need for a successful day on the water, including a GPS and a fishfinder. There’s is also a toilet on board for your convenience.
While patrolling the waters you should expect to catch King and Spanish Mackerel, Bonita, a variety of Snapper species, and various other bottom fish. For the real thrill-seeking customers, Shark trips that will bring put you against the ocean’s toughest fighters are also on offer.
King of Kings Charters will provide you with license, quality gear, tackle, and bait. When you return to the shore, the captain will clean and fillet your catch. All you need to bring on board is something to eat and drink.

4 Hour Trip - (Afternoon)
Our family, along with two friends, were going to Destin for a work vacation and I decided to look into a deep see fishing excursion. None of our group had ever been so we were just looking for a great experience. I found King of Kings, which had great reviews, and booked a 4-hour trip for our group of 6. The booking process and follow up communication before we arrived was excellent. Upon arriving at the pier, we were immediately greeted by Juan, who was the first mate, and then Captain Jayson was not far behind. They helped us load our personal things on the boat, gave us a quick rundown of the do’s and dont’s, and we were on our way. The entire trip was very enjoyable and all of us would highly recommend King of Kings. Juan was top notch in assisting with baiting and unhooking our caught fish. In total, we brought home a nice amount of red snappper that Captain Jayson cleaned and bagged for us to take back. If you’re looking for a wonderful crew and experience, look no further than King of Kings.

Amazing trip! Captain and mate (Jayson and Juan) may be two of the nicest people I have ever met! As soon as we went out, we were on the fish, the whole 6 hours!!!! I got so exhausted from reeling that I had to take a break for a bit as they continued to catch!!! Can’t recommend this duo highly enough, great boat as well! You will have a wonderful time and will catch a boatload of fish!!!!! Thank you both so much!! I will definitely go out again with these fine gentlemen when I return!!!

The four of us went on a fishing trip during our family vacation and had the best day! Before we booked I messaged Captain Jayson. We’ve been fishing in the gulf off the Alabama Coast but not Destin. He was so gracious with his time and answered all our questions. Our day was fabulous. Our deckhand, Juan, was so attentive and worked his tail off. We caught so many fish. And we even caught a shark! We would recommend this crew to anyone.

5 Hour Trip - (Afternoon)
I explained to the Captain that we wanted to get some fish for dinner and my boys wanted to catch a shark. We accomplished both of those tasks in proper fashion with more than enough fish for a family dinner and a 6 ft Dusky shark, that the boys and I will never forget
