    AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!

    5 Hour Trip – Spring Season - 6:00 AM on May 30, 2026 • 8 adults

    If you want a first-class charter that delivers an amazing adventure, look no further.” DESTINATION with Captain Stan and his crew. The boat was clean, safe, and fully equipped with top-of-the-line gear. They are highly knowledgeable, incredibly professional, and knew exactly where to go to put us (was 8 guys) right on the fish….. thank you for the amazing experience and I will definitely be booking the Destination in the future. - Melvin Jenkins

    Unforgettable Family Fishing Adventure – Highly Recommend!

    6 Hour Trip – Spring Season on April 6, 2026 • 9 adults • 2 children

    We had an absolutely amazing deep sea fishing trip! From start to finish, the crew went above and beyond—especially with the kids. They were patient, encouraging, and made sure every child felt involved and excited the entire time. Even though the weather wasn’t ideal for fishing, they still put us on the fish and made it such a successful trip. We caught way more than we expected, and the highlight of the day was watching one of the kids reel in an incredible 25 lb, 36-inch red snapper—a moment we’ll never forget! The crew’s expertise, positive attitude, and ability to keep the experience fun (even in less-than-perfect conditions) truly set them apart. If you’re looking for a family-friendly charter that delivers both memories and results, this is the one. We’ll definitely be back! 🌟

    we had the best time ever

    8 Hour Trip – Summer on August 5, 2026 • 9 adults • 4 children

    Stan did a great job gettinf us on fish. Jordan and Brennen did a fantastic job helping get the fish off and keeping our bait on our lines. We got to keep 82 fish on our 8 hr trip for 9 people and we had to throw probably a third if not more back! 10000% recommend my kids were already asking to go again before we even got back to the dock. We couldnt have asked for better time or memories!

    Super successful morning trip!

    6 Hour Trip – Summer on July 20, 2026 • 8 adults

    We had 8 of us on the 6 hour morning trip and could not have asked for a better day! The weather was great, fish were biting and we all had a blast! We came home with red snapper, vermillion, red grouper and a king mackerel. Captain Stan was great to get us right where we needed to be. Isiah and Jordan were amazing and so helpful. We hope to come back and do it again someday!

    Great fishing trip, one of the best I have ever taken!

    12 Hour Trip – Fall on October 5, 2026 • 10 adults

    The captain and crew were ultimate professionals. Fishing gear was outstanding and ready for each fishing stop during our 12 hour trip. We caught a diversity of species, some of which I had not caught on any other trip.

    Epic in Every way

    10 Hour Trip – Fall on September 10, 2026 • 3 adults

    First time deep sea fishing trip for my wife and nephew. Captain Stan and First Mate Isaiah made the trip flawless and epic in every aspect. They put us where we needed to be to catch the perfect number and variety of fish. This trip is perfect for families looking for a peaceful and rewarding adventure. Thanks Capt Stan and Isaiah are the perfect host!

    First fishing experience with our two young kids

    5 Hour Trip - Summer on July 25, 2026 • 11 adults • 2 children

     we had the whole family with us, including a six-year-old and a three-year-old. Captain Phillips and his crew were very accommodating and make sure we had an excellent experience. The kids were able reel and some fish in the day ended with catch and release of a sand shark! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

    truly the best experience

    6 Hour Trip – Summer on June 16, 2026 • 9 adults • 4 children

    My husband and I took our seven children on a 6 hr deep sea foshing trip on this boat and crew and it was THE BEST experience. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. They went above and beyond. We caught so many fish and even spent an hour fighting to reel in a 500 lb bull shark. It created amazing memories!
