Pelican Adventures – Shared Fishing Trips
Pelican Adventures offers shared deep-sea fishing trips in Destin, with both morning and afternoon departures. These trips typically carry 8–25 passengers, making them a great option for guests who want the feel of a charter without booking the entire boat. Whether you are new to fishing or an experienced angler, you can enjoy a fun day on the water alongside other fishing enthusiasts.
Depending on the season and conditions, trips may target species such as Snapper, King Mackerel, and Triggerfish, using techniques like bottom fishing and trolling. The crew works hard throughout the trip to keep guests fishing, assist when needed, and help make the experience enjoyable from departure to return.
Rods, reels, tackle, bait, and all required fishing licenses are included in the trip price, so guests can focus on enjoying their time on the water.
Guests are welcome to bring drinks and snacks, along with sunglasses and motion sickness medication if needed. The mates primarily work for tips, so gratuity is always appreciated.
Reservations must be paid in full to be confirmed.

Found fish and caught them
6 Hr – Shared Fishing Trip on April 14, 2026 • 5 adultsCaptain put us on the fish. Drop bait to the bottom and reel up the catch. When bite slowed they moved and found ones biting. Mates ran around baiting hooks and sorting the catch. Our group was treated great. Thank you

6 Hr – Shared Fishing Trip on December 24, 2025 • 2 adultsThis is our second time fishing with these guys and again they didn’t disappoint, kept us on the fish, the crew worked endlessly doing everything they do and just made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. My family now has a new Christmas tradition.

Son’s first trip.
6 Hr – Shared Fishing Trip on June 15, 2026 • 2 adultsMy son and I had a good trip. We caught some fish but only 1 small snapper. Advertising indicated we would catch snapper. Crew and boat were excellent. We would use them again.

Sovanarath Orr4.0Verified6 hr trip
6 Hr – Shared Fishing Trip on July 19, 2026 • 1 adult1 to 1.5 hr ride out and back in. Plenty of action throughout the fishing session. amberjack, triggerfish, red rubys, mingo snappers, squirrel fish and bonita were some of the fish caught on the boat. We fished at 2 locations. I got popped off once on a big bite and had to cut the line on second big bite since it got caught on the neighboring lines.

Thank you for a full 5-star rating! We are so thrilled to hear that you had an amazing fishing trip with your son! So glad that he had a catch to remember and we hope that he has found himself a renewed love for deep sea fishing! Thank you for choosing Pelican Adventures!
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!
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🎣 We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great experience with our crew—they truly take pride in what they do, and it means a lot that you noticed their hard work and teamwork. Sounds like an awesome day on the water with plenty of fish! 🐟 We appreciate you recognizing how they keep everything running smoothly (and clean!) even during the action. Thank you for the recommendation—we can’t wait to have you back out with us for another memorable trip! 💙
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!
Thank you for spending the day with us! We are glad that you were able to put a variety of fish in the boat! Whether you were reeling in fish or simply enjoying the Gulf breeze, we're so glad your trip was a success. We appreciate your support and hope to see you back aboard!
We had an amazing time. My son caught over 20 fish & came home with plenty to feed the family. The crew was phenomenal. 10/10 would recommended!
Thank you so much for the awesome review! We are both humble and blessed to have the opportunity to share this experience with your family. Our crew works hard to make sure our guests put fish in the boat! Twenty fish...that's awesome! We look forward to taking you out into the Gulf in the future aboard one of our beautiful vessels!
