Charter Boat Seahorse
Charter Boat Seahorse
Charter Boat Seahorse offers one of the best ranges of trips in town. The six hour trip is the most popular. Captain Dean Cox has been fishing these waters his entire life and has put together an extensive list of coordinates to give anyone from family groups to seasoned pros that perfect day on the water.
Enjoy entry level four hour fishing with the family and the kids. Head out for an eight-hour trip for more experienced anglers. Up for a real challenge? Journey 50+ miles to fish through the day and into the night for the Gulf's biggest fish. Whatever you're after, Capt. Dean has you covered.
The 'Seahorse' is a 48' custom G&S Sport Fisherman with enough room for up to 16 guests. She has everything you need for world-class angling, from modern electronics to outriggers, downriggers, a livewell, and quality equipment from Penn and Shimano.
Up to eight anglers can fish at once, but there's plenty to keep the rest of you happy. The boat has an air-conditioned interior with a full head and a galley complete with a microwave oven and a micro-fridge.
Your group can lounge in the boat's salon and enjoy the stereo and flat-screen TV or head outside to explore her deck space to watch your group reel in fish.
Capt. Dean likes to stock up on fresh live bait by stopping near the shore each morning. He finds that fishing with live bait adds to the overall fishing experience, but also gives you an opportunity to find your 'sea-legs'. If he has to buy live bait, Capt. Dean is happy to pay 50% of the price of it.
Whether you're a seasoned or novice angler, a large company group, or a small party, the professional crew of Seahorse will do their best to make sure that your trip is a memorable one.
Please Note: that gratuity for the crew is not included in the price.

Danny TompkinsRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBest Trip Ever!!
8 Hour Trip on July 15, 2026 • 14 adults • 1 childWe had a great trip on The Seahorse with Captain Dean and Co-Captain Billy!! We had 13 people on the boat with 11 of them fishing. Billy was awesome helping everyone and made sure that everyone had what they needed. He was very patient with all of us and cold not had asked for a better co-captain than Billy!! We caught 75 red snappers and 5 white snappers. Thanks to Captain Dean for putting us where the fish were!! We would definitely book again with them!!
James Page5.0VerifiedGood 4 hour trip.
4 Hour Trip (PM) on August 8, 2026 • 7 adults • 1 childTried 4 hour trip in the afternoon and caught fish. First mate Billy and Captain Dean were professional and focused on getting us into fish. Also they worked to see no one got motion sickness as some had experienced before. Would recommend morning trip to avoid the summer heat - the air conditioned cabin was nice to have.
Herbie AldrichRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat 4 hour fishing trip
4 Hour Trip (AM) on August 14, 2026 • 8 adultsGreat 4 hour quick trip with our group. Captain was very friendly and the first was awesome! Very knowledgeable and explained everything to the group to see success. We caught a few Red Snapper and a lot of Vermillion Snapper. Fed the whole group dinner that night!

6 Hour Trip (AM) on May 5, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 childrenFor the 2nd year in a row my family has had blast on the Seahorse. Absolutely amazing crew. Tons of fish were caught and my nephew caught a tagged trigger fish.

4 Hour Trip (PM) on August 5, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 childThis fishing experience was seriously the highlight of our trip to Destin! My 2 daughters had the best time and with little to no prior fishing knowledge had no problem picking up how to, with the help of our deck hand. We will definitely be going again hopefully sometime soon! Highly recommend, we caught a lot of fish we were able to have cleaned and take home to eat as well as catching some HUGE fish for fun!

Awesome
6 Hour Trip (AM) on May 6, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 childThe trip was everything I dreamed of. My son and dad are still talking about the fishing 2 weeks later. The crew was top notch and highly recommend for others. We got 40 vermillion snapper which was r limit. My son reeled in a amberjack, who is 7 by the way. Also was able to get a decent size shark to the top of the water for a nice picture.
Jeromy Carroll4.7VerifiedDid not disappoint!
6 Hour Trip (AM) on July 15, 2025 • 7 adults • 1 childGreat captain, deck hand and boat! Took a group of first timers and they made it truly enjoyable for everyone! We will seek out this crew for our next adventure!
Vicki JohnsonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFamily time!
6 Hour Trip (PM) on June 21, 2023 • 7 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Dean, Billy and Gage are awesome! We had the best time other than a couple in our group who got sick. We caught snapper so quickly when we got to the first fishing spot it was unreal. Sea was rough but it was a great trip! Would definitely recommend Seahorse Charters and will plan on booking with them again. Thanks again guys 😁

8 Hour Trip on June 4, 2023 • 8 adultsAwesome trip! Captain Dean and Billy did an excellent job. We caught a limit of red snapper and 2 Wahoo. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Very respectful and professional. I would recommend the Seahorse Charter to anyone from a young family to a large group. You will not be sore.
Sheri HaleyRepeat angler5.0VerifiedThe fish were flying….
4 Hour Trip (AM) on August 10, 2022 • 8 adults • 1 childHad a great time today fishing on Capt. Deans SeaHorse. We normally go bottom fishing but since we booked just the 4 hour trip this year, we trolled for Mackerels. We ended up catching 40 fish. The Spanish Mackerel were literally jumping in the boat. It was a good haul. Billy was an awesome First Mate. He was very knowledgeable and we had some great talks about the boat life. Thanks for a great fishing excursion guys! We’ll be back! The Haley’s

It was rough out there and Captain Dean did an amazing job navigating the waters and keeping us held on the fish. They were great with the kids and first timers.
Thanks a bunch for hanging in there Luke and crew! next time it'll be calmer I hope. Capt. Dean
