My Chance Charters has been fishing the waters out of Destin for over 30 years and they are excited to share their vast experience with you. The crew is very friendly and happy to assist anglers in their saltwater fishing adventure. Destin is called the “world’s luckiest fishing village” and a crew that has decades of experience in this area will give you every chance to get your dream fish.

The vessel is a stout 30’ Black Watch saltwater fisher, powered by twin 225 HP Cummins engines. The boat is equipped with powerful engines so you can take full advantage of the great fishing locale that is Destin. It also has an observation tower, helping you spot that Mahi Mahi and Cobia. Comforts are not neglected though, as the boat has a full head toilet.

The experienced captain Michael King knows many fishing techniques and is very happy to help you with them; whether assisting or teaching you, you are in capable hands. This charter offers you a great variety of different fish you can catch and ways you can use to catch them. All equipment needed is provided by the charter. Penn reels are a staple, as well as special custom-built rods, everything in place so you can really get the most out of the water.

The minimum age for children is 8, with the charter providing all required vests. People new to fishing are very welcome as the captain is an excellent teacher eager to get new anglers hooked on the bite in the blue water. Live bait is fished with the customer if the weather is nice, and the price of the purchased bait is included, if weather conditions don’t allow fishing for it. There is parking offered in the Marina, and additional parking available across the street at a public parking lot.

Great Fishing Trip

VERIFIED

We had a great time fishing with Captain Michael and Blake, they did an excellent job making sure that our deep sea experience was a success. Captain Michael kept us on the fish all day and Blake made sure our hooks always had bait on them. Really can’t say enough good things about our whole trip, we just kept catching fish over and over again!! The boat was comfortable and had plenty of room for us to move around while Captain Michael took us out to sea and back. Captain Michael is friendly, knowledgeable and a professional and we definitely recommend him to be your Captain too!

6 Hour fishing Trip

Best Vacation Experience

VERIFIED

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Captain Michael King was the best. Even if we hadn’t caught fish this review would still be a 5 star because of this guy. If anyone is ever planning a trip I strongly urge you to book with him. On the way back in was able to talk to him about what I should do in the future when we come back and do this again so I’ll give you some advice, book at least a 6 hour trip. We did the 6 and we will be back to do the 8+ hour trip. I can’t say enough on how great of an experience this was. Thank you Capt. King

6 Hour fishing Trip

Fishing with Michael

VERIFIED

Captain Mike and his crew were awesome. Mike knew where the fish were and we were on them probably 95 percent of the time. Deck hand Blake keep my daughters poles baited and the girls engaged longer than they normally have been. We did a 6 hour trip which is perfect for my family. Started at 6 and was able to get some beautiful pictures of the sunrise and was back by noon with a cooler load of fish. We will definitely be using My Chance charter and Captain Mike again.

We did the 4 hour trip cause it was our groups first time and we had some younger and older members. Mike did a great job showing us the ropes and getting us on the fish. Since we were a shorter trip we didn't get to check out all the fishing spots but will definitely try again and try a longer trip.

Incredible Time!

We had the best time with Capitan Mike on the My Chance Charter. He was knowledgeable, knew where to go and when to move on, and provided an amazing experience for us. We were able to max out on Red Snapper and Vermillion Snapper, as well as catch other fish such as Lane Snapper, Spanish Macs, Bonita, Gag Grouper, and Red Grouper. We will absolutely fish again with Capitan Mike, it was an incredible way to spend my 30th birthday.
