Only accepting reservations paid in full.

If you find yourself in Destin and want to see why the fishing there is so acclaimed, book yourself a trip with Pelican Adventures and find out what the fuss is about. The crew offers exciting offshore fishing trips that are fun for the whole family.

Pelican Adventures offers shared deep sea fishing trips, mornings or afternoons. Shared fishing charters will have between 8-25 passengers on the boat. These trips chase a variety of Snapper, King Mackerel, and Trigger. They also provide equipment for a range of fishing techniques including bottom fishing and trolling. The highly-skilled first mate will work tirelessly to keep the rods bending, no matter how they're set up.

Rods, reels, and tackle are included in the price of the trip, along with all the necessary fishing licenses. The mates primarily work for tips, so any gratuity is very much appreciated. You may want to bring sunglasses, drinks, snacks, and motion sickness pills if this is your first time out just to be safe.

Had an amazing trip with my son. Captain put us on em the whole time we fished.. deck crew are awesome and professional... Layton and Clay both made us feel right at home. Definitely made the trip worth it.. 16 people on our trip... I was worried about being crowded but it wasn't an issue at all... met some great people and caught a bunch of fish... Thanks again to Pelican Adventures and special thanks to Layton and Clay.... we will definitely be back next year!!!!

The crew sure takes pride
Shared Fishing 6 AM 6hrs (Spring) on March 31, 20262 adults

Great Crew that takes pride in their task and it shows. Interacting with customers and making sure everyone is taken care of. The boat was super clean when we left, we messed it up a little because we were catching fish and they worked together to get it cleaned back up before we got back to the dock. Would definately recommend. Thank you to the Crew fir putting us on fish and making the trip one to remember. We will be back!

We had 13 on a shared fishing trip. Deckhands were great and knowledgeable. Everyone in our crew caught multiple vermillion snapper, trigger fish, and even a few red snapper. Everyone had a great teip. Would definitely recommend!
