Book your next trip with Reel Legend Fishing and find out what makes the fishing in Destin so unique and why we are the fishing capital. With Captain Richie at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

These waters are known for Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Snowy Grouper, Red Snapper, Wahoo, Vermilion Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, and more – with any luck, it won't be long before your hooked up to one and hooked for life. On these trips, you can expect to troll some and bottom fish some. We can also customize it to fit what you want to do.

You'll be dropping lines from a 48' Morris offshore sport fishing vessel with a capacity for 13 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience, 2 air conditioners, and satellite radio. Rods, reels, tackle, license, and cut bait are included, along with lures. Live bait will be caught as needed for the fish in season or we have the option to buy it also if you would rather do that.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 20% tip. Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to seasons and regulations. Simply ask your captain or mate and they can tell you more about the fishery.

It's always wise to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Your trip with Reel Legend Fishing is just a click away, so why not make it happen and let's go make some memories.

6 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM) on June 8, 20266 adults1 child
We had a wonderful time celebrating my Dad’s retirement. We did a 6hr tour with 7 people. We were catching red and vermillion snapper consistently. The first mate Chris kept us with bait on the line the whole time. We brought my sons aged 11 and 13, and both Captian and Mate were wonderful with them. Highly highly reccomend.

Winter special on November 12, 20252 adults
Captain Richie was able to change our charter day since the weather conditions were poor for our original day. It was definitely the right call. instead of freezing and getting beat up by waves, the weather was perfect and much calmer water. Ernie, the first mate was great at keeping us rigged up and fishing the entire time. The Captain kept us on fish and we caught a bunch! Ernie cleaned and bagged all of our fish. He even made sure they were de-boned. Me and my wife will definitely use them again. next time we plan on bringing our kids. Thanks again Richie and Ernie!

Great experience for young families!
4 Hour – Kid Beginner Trip on August 1, 20255 adults7 children
We had 13 people, 6 of which were 11 and under. The captain got us on the fish and the crew was so good with the kids. We did the 6 hr package and ended up with 53 keepers and threw back at least that amount. I strongly recommend this for anyone with a lot of kids or just looking for a good opportunity to get on some fish. Very memorable experience.
