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.

4 Hour Trip – Beginners (PM)

Outstanding trip!

VERIFIED

We had an absolute blast with 4 adults and 5 kids between the ages of 6-11! Unbelievably nice captain and crew, who went above and beyond helping the kids and adults make the most of the trip! We had 20 keepers by the end and they cleaned all the fish for us, so we were able to enjoy fresh fish that same evening. Highly recommend the Reel Legend for your next trip out on the water, worth every penny in our minds given the memories it provided for all of us! Ps the dolphins following the boat out to sea we icing on the cake for everyone. Thanks guys for a great trip!

4 hour kid beginners trip (copy)

Great experience for young families!

VERIFIED

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.

Captain Richie and crew made my nieces’ and nephews’ first deep sea trip a great memory! They got us on fish quickly and kept us moving to nearby wrecks once a spot went cold. Kids are happy and freezer is full!
