    Best Trip I’ve ever went on

    6 Hr (Family Fishing Adventure) on August 26, 2026 • 3 adults

    Absolutely outstanding fishing charter! The captain and first mate were top-notch from start to finish. We stayed busy catching fish the entire 6-hour trip, and they worked hard to keep everyone on fish. The first mate was lightning fast, constantly baiting hooks, removing fish, and making sure lines were back in the water without missing a beat. Their teamwork, knowledge, and dedication made the trip smooth, enjoyable, and successful. If you're looking for a professional crew that works hard and puts you on fish, I highly recommend this charter. We had an amazing time and will definitely be booking again! 🎣🐟 Thanks for an unforgettable day on the water! for an unforgettable day on the water

    great trip!

    4 Hour (Family Fishing Adventure) on June 12, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    my husband and I have went deep sea fishing before, but both of my sons (5 and 15) have not so thats why we booked a 4 hour trip to get their toes wet! overall the trip was great. we went jackfishing toward the end since we didnt have any “big catches” we were able to get 2, just not on board bc our line snapped lol. BUT our captain gave us another 15 minutes to see if we could get another bite but it just didnt happen — we were very pleased to have the opportunity to stay out longer because they didnt have to do that! one thing i really appreciated was if we werent getting any bites they moved us to keep us busy with fish! we successfully caught: red snapper, and trigger fish, and some smaller fish! would recommend this boat and crew to anyone else, and we would use again and maybe go out for the 5 hour trip next time!

    Amazing First Experience

    4 Hour (Family Fishing Adventure) on May 25, 2026 • 3 adults

    Had amazing time with King of Kings. Captain Jayson and deckhand Juan were chill and flexible, despite the morning storm they pushed the trip back so we could still get out. Before heading out they asked what we were hoping and our expectations. Juan did a great job setting up the roads and explaining how the whole process works, especially since this was our first time. We ended up catching some solid 25lb fish which was awesome for the first experience. Highly recommend!

    Great 8 hr trip! First trip with my 10 yr old!

    8 Hour (Deep Sea Fishing Adventure) on August 10, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We (myself and my two sons, 16 and 10) took an 8 hour trip with Captain Jason and Juan. It was my youngest son’s first trip and it did not disappoint. Captain Jayson and Juan had us fishing the whole time! Juan was absolutely great with my boys! We caught tons of red snapper, mingo snapper, triggerfish, red grouper, and others that we released. Captain Jayson gave us a great time and we will be calling them back in the future!

    Great Trip!!!

    4 Hour Family Fishing Adventure - 1:00 PM on October 13, 2025 • 6 adults

    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.

    Best experience yet

    4 Hour (Family Fishing Adventure) on April 2, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Jayson and Juan were fantastic. We were on the fish literally a couple of minutes into the trip. We had 30 keepers on ice within 45 minutes. We then headed to deeper water for bigger fish. Everyone in the group successfully pulled an Amberjack on board before heading back. We had enough time to do some bottom fishing and reeled in some nice Vermilion Snapper. All in a four-hour trip. We had a great time.

    Awesome time fishing!

    4 Hour (Family Fishing Adventure) - 1:00 PM on July 6, 2026 • 4 adults

    We had a great time with Jayson and Juan on our 4 hour charter! We caught snapper, grouper, triggerfish, and had a great time wrestling two big amberjacks to the boat. They had us on the fish, and moved around a lot to find them, which made the trip very enjoyable. Easy going, friendly crew, couldn’t have asked for a better trip!

    Sharks for days!

    4 Hour (Family Fishing Adventure) on June 29, 2026 • 5 adults

    We scheduled a short trip and Captain Jayson and Juan had us on fish as soon as we had lines in the water. We caught 9 sharks in about an hour and a half! Everybody got a chance to land one. Juan was great helping the kids manage the rods. It was a great day on the water. Highly recommend!

If you're looking for a professional crew that works hard and puts you on fish, I highly recommend this charter. We had an amazing time and will definitely be booking again! 🎣🐟 Thanks for an unforgettable day on the water! for an unforgettable day on the water

4 Hour (Family Fishing Adventure) on July 15, 20265 adults

Captain Jayson delivered an outstanding deep sea fishing adventure from start to finish. He was professional, knowledgeable, and worked hard all day to keep us on the fish. You can tell he has years of experience and genuinely wants everyone on the boat to have a great time. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and safety was clearly a priority. Captain Jayson knew exactly where to go, explained everything clearly, and made the trip enjoyable whether you were an experienced angler or fishing for the first time. We caught plenty of fish, had an incredible day on the water, and made memories that will last a lifetime. If you’re looking for a captain who is friendly, hardworking, and committed to giving you the best possible deep sea fishing experience, I highly recommend Captain Jayson. We’ll definitely be booking another trip with him!

4 Hour (Family Fishing Adventure) on June 12, 20263 adults1 child

my husband and I have went deep sea fishing before, but both of my sons (5 and 15) have not so thats why we booked a 4 hour trip to get their toes wet! overall the trip was great. we went jackfishing toward the end since we didnt have any “big catches” we were able to get 2, just not on board bc our line snapped lol. BUT our captain gave us another 15 minutes to see if we could get another bite but it just didnt happen — we were very pleased to have the opportunity to stay out longer because they didnt have to do that! one thing i really appreciated was if we werent getting any bites they moved us to keep us busy with fish! we successfully caught: red snapper, and trigger fish, and some smaller fish! would recommend this boat and crew to anyone else, and we would use again and maybe go out for the 5 hour trip next time!

4 Hour (Family Fishing Adventure) - 1:00 PM on June 22, 20266 adults

Had a great trip with captain Jayson and first mate Juan. Party of 6 in as I took my family of four and my parents. It was great to have all 3 generations together to enjoy the trip. Jayson was very professional and accomodating. He put us on the fish and we had tight lines literally within seconds after the first drop, Just how Juan described it and we were on a fast and hot bite for the entire trip. We caught some very big amberjack and honestly the action was basicsally non stop. I would definitely book again

Amazing First Experience
4 Hour (Family Fishing Adventure) on May 25, 20263 adults

Had amazing time with King of Kings. Captain Jayson and deckhand Juan were chill and flexible, despite the morning storm they pushed the trip back so we could still get out. Before heading out they asked what we were hoping and our expectations. Juan did a great job setting up the roads and explaining how the whole process works, especially since this was our first time. We ended up catching some solid 25lb fish which was awesome for the first experience. Highly recommend!

Captain Jayson Self began his fishing career with vacations to Destin back in 1985. Catfishing and Pinfishing got him hooked for life. Jayson spent the next four summers in Destin with his family, where he fished weekly with Captain Tommy Browning, the local legend. By the late 1980s, Jayson was a tournament angler, having fished with no other than his own mother as a teammate. But it wasn't until 2015 when Jayson was finally able to realize the family dream of having his own charter boat. He now makes a living fishing full time and is exceptional at what he does.
