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.

Captain Mike and the Hiliner were Awesome!!
4 Hour Trip - 2:00 PM on March 31, 20262 adults3 children
Captain Mike and his boat the Hiliner were awesome! We had a crew of five people, one teenager and two younger kids and wanted to get out on the water and do some fishing. It was a red flag week down in the gulf and conditions weren’t the most favorable but Captain Mike got us out and put us on fish from the first stop! It was such an awesome experience for the kids! Captain Mike, you can tell has been doing this for sometime and is very experienced as a boat captain and understands the fish and conditions of the gulf very well. He got us on fish and kept us on fish the entire trip. Highly recommend him. If he’s got an opening… Book em! Well worth it! FYI, the fish hanging on display are obviously just the ones we kept. We probably caught three times that which we tossed back, they were either just not what we were fishing for or not in season to catch… You’re gonna be busy! Lastly, the restaurant right behind Captain Mike’s boat slip per his recommendation did a hook and cook… where you bring your catch in and they do it up for you… Extremely reasonable..highly recommend.. it was phenomenal! Thanks again Capt!!

Great Fishing Trip
5 Hour Afternoon Trip on August 15, 20254 adults
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!

Great Trip!
4 Hour Trip on May 24, 20265 adults
We had a fantastic time with Michael and Justin! The morning was stormy, so they let us wait it out, then did a great job navigating the waves. We caught red snapper, grouper, red fish and more! Boat was comfortable for our 5 adults plus the two of them! Would definitely recommend!
