Go out fishing with an open mind. Day to day the fishing changes. Weather is a big/huge factor. Be patient with your Captain. They are doing their best with what the day brings. You might catch fish non stop for your trip, or get only a couple. It's fishing. And be polite. May God bless your fishing adventures.

Go for it, the area offers a lot of great offer of fishing. It won’t disappoint. The only reason I did not write this 5 stars was because I’ve had better days fishing in Clearwater where I larger fish

I'd recommend using King of Kings as he was great with myself and 5 high school seniors (4 of which had never done offshore fishing). They had a blast!

Definitely consider the type of species you aim to catch. Bigger fish require bigger/deeper water. This of course turns into longer boat rides to the necessary habitat. The time in travel can eat into the scheduled time for your trip. If bringing smaller children, you'll be able to get into feisty smaller fish for sure much sooner. They'll have a fantastic time getting into fish much sooner in the trip and have a very memorable time.

Not as good of fishing in March as it is in June when snapper and other fish are open for catching but still fun to reel in a lot of fish! Mingo is a good eater as is Trigger.

The fishing is good. Check on what is allowed to be kept if you want to keep your catch. We did not and went for big fish and Captain Chuck Madden delivered!!!

If you can swing a longer trip (even a 5hr vs a 4hr) it will be worth it! The extra time allows you to get further out especially if the waters are a little rough. But, for a first time experience, the 4hr trio is a great one to experience but it will definitely leave you wanting more. Time goes quickly!

We were in Destin for a week and got one day when the wind was calm enough to go out. Fishing this time of year here is great but hard to plan in light of the variability in the wind.

Little cool early but warmed up quick. Guide cleaned the Spanish macs and we took them to the boathouse oyster bar and they blackened them and made fish tacos was excellent.

Recommend a boat with a cabin to chill in as the weather is cool. Fishing is great if your captain gets you to them and you are dressed for the weather.

Check the weather. It was cooler than normal. Fish was just not biting very much

If you're going in March don't expect a lot of them to be in season. Expect to catch your bait and have fun doing it. These Captains know where to find fish and put you on them. What kind you catch is a wonderful mystery. Have fun.

Captain Chris got us on fish and Denis and Brian educated and were quick to help. Vermillion snapper was the target and we got a lot. Best part was taking the filets over to The edge restaurant next door and they cooked all 10 lbs up for us. Blackened snapper was so good. For those looking for a business event in short time Big John’s made it a breeze to get on fish and have fun.

Took my family on a five hour charter, I had previously done the “party boats” can say I will never do that again. This trip was awesome, the captain was very personable and took us to the fish without fail. Everyone was extremely pleased with this trip and we will definitely be back again.

Awesome Captain. Told us stories about the history of the area. Show us details about lots of different fish and how some of them get their names. Very knowledgeable, personable and friendly Captain. Best experience with any of the Destin area charters. We will definitely use Captain Si again. Oh, and we caught lots of different kinds of fish. Great time.

Captain Shaun was very accommodating and even switched the days for us. He and Solomon are a great duo. They were constantly baiting our hooks and helped me get a great cast every time! Would definitely recommend these guys and will be booking another trip with them next time we are down.

Captain Chris and mate Captain Jason went overboard. The target species were not biting but they went to plan B. The trip was 90 minutes longer than we paid for but they made sure we got the fish, Spanish Mackerel. Many Thanks!

Graham was a great captain. He got us on the fish in a hurry and kept all my boys’ & wife’s hooks baited, as well showed great patience with assisting them with their fish. We caught over 100 fish including 2 nice bull sharks, and then shared their special recipe that we used on our fresh snapper tacos!

Captain Johnathan was awsome. He is definitely worth booking. We will definitely be using him again on our next fishing trip in June or sept. Just listen to what he is saying/teaching and you will definitely come back with some fish. 10 out of 10 I would recommend him to everyone. You will not be disappointed.

Chris kept us baited and on the fish. He went out of his way to understand what we were looking to do before we got out on the boat and he made it happen. We left with a ton of fish, pulled in a few monsters and had a great time. I 100% recommend a trip with Captain Chris on the Cinnsational! Just reel!!!
