Pelican Adventures–Shared Fishing Trips 8-25 

4.5/5 (255 reviews)
 600 Harbor Boulevard, Destin, FL 32541, United States

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.

Shared Fishing 6:30AM 6hrs (Spring) on March 18, 2025

What a fun day of fishing. Although our start time started an hour late due to a dead boat battery, they ensured we got all the fishing time promised in our purchase. The captain and his fantastic attentive crew had us on fish all day. We kept hearing “another mingo” over and over again for the type of red fish we were catching. The crew handled it unhooked all my caught fish for me and even would bait my hook from time to time to help maximize fishing times (they were sweet). In all I caught about 15 fish but some fish called “trigger fish” were not keep worthy (8) but still were big and fun to catch because they put up a little fight. I caught 7 Mingo red fish and the crew cleaned and fillet at no extra charge. I’m so happy I caught all those mingos!!! The boat is equipped with iced ice chests for each person or family, clean normal size bathrooms, and good fishing reels and poles. This was my second trip to Destin to do this tour. Hope to come back year after year! So fun to yell “Fish on!!!” All day long! Thank you Pelican Adventures.

First off, Charlie and the other deckmate (I forgot his name) were so very helpful and made the experience so enjoyable! It was my first time going and didn’t get sea sick! Im The captain knew exactly where the fish were at and every single one of us caught fish! I would recommend this excursion to anyone who is looking to go!

My wife and I have been on many charters from Key West to Destin over the years. This time we took our 12 year old daughter and wanted a trip she would enjoy for her first time out on The Gulf of America. This crew was great and we all had a blast. Definitely recommend this charter to families and we will be back. Special thanks to Dennis and Ron. They did a great job helping keep the fishing going even with a little rocky water and a few tangles.

The people at Pelican Adventures were so great. From scheduling my trip straight through till the day we left there was excellent communication. The Captain and I had spoken via text. Parking is easy. The boat is in great shape. They provided two mates to help us with all the fishing tasks. Both of those guys were excellent. When we got back to the dock, they filleted all the fish, took pictures of everyone with the fish that they caught, and put everything in a nice carry bag. I would totally go back to Pelican Adventures.

Shared Fishing 6 AM 6hrs (Fall) on August 20, 2024

I had some time while down in Destin and thought I would take my teenage daughter that likes to fish out. She had a good time and we caught many fish. The crew was very helpful and attentive. I had an equipment malfunction that was quickly resolved with a new rod of which they came prepared. We were able to spend as much time as possible. This was a nice change as other boats I've been on had a hard time keeping us fishing. Overall a great trip thanks to the crew.
