Luxury Offshore Fishing Aboard Great Escape II
The Great Escape II welcomes you to the emerald waters of Destin—one of the most productive fisheries in the Gulf. These waters are home to an exciting variety of offshore species including King Mackerel, Red Snapper, Wahoo, Gag Grouper, Shark, Blackfin Tuna, Gray Triggerfish, Vermilion Snapper, Scamp Grouper, and more depending on the season and conditions. Your trip may include trolling, bottom fishing, or a combination of both using light or heavy tackle depending on what's biting that day.
Trips aboard Great Escape II are ideal for both experienced anglers looking for serious offshore fishing and beginners who want a comfortable, guided introduction to Gulf of Mexico fishing.
Your adventure takes place aboard the Great Escape II, a beautiful 58-ft Chris-Craft Convertible sportfishing yacht designed for serious offshore performance while offering exceptional comfort for guests. The vessel accommodates up to six passengers and is fully equipped with premium rods, reels, tackle, downriggers, and modern fish-finding electronics to give you every advantage on the water. For added comfort, the boat features a clean onboard restroom.
Fishing aboard Great Escape II is about more than just catching fish—it's about experiencing the Gulf the way seasoned local fishermen do. With decades of experience fishing these waters, your captain works hard to put you on productive grounds and create a trip that's exciting for both experienced anglers and first-time fishermen alike.
A professional First Mate will assist throughout the trip by preparing tackle, baiting hooks, clearing lines, and helping land your catch. Mates work primarily for tips, and it is customary to offer 15–20% based on your experience.
Your fishing license is included, so all you need to bring is your sense of adventure. Regulations for certain species change throughout the year, and your captain will guide you on what's currently in season.
