This is one of Captain Bill's favorite trips, a half day on the water. Just enough time to get into deeper waters and increase your chances of loading the boat with fish! We run up to 5 miles offshore and look for bigger fish. Back to the dock just in time for dinner, you'll leave with great memories and your catch of the day bagged and ready for the fabulous Gulf-to-table meal. That's the freshest seafood you can get!!

Drained the gas tank
5/5
Captain Dave emptied his tank trying to find us fish! We caught a quite a few skipjack, catfish, and a couple mangrove. None of which were the species we were after, but had some good laughs and good times. Definitely would recommend booking this charter!

3hr trip with Captain Jonathan
5/5
Captain Jonathan worked hard to find us some fish and keep the hooks baited for our 3 kids. The redfish were a little slow, but the skipjacks were fun. Even got a bonus personal visit by some hungry dolphins grabbing our skipjacks as we released them. Our family had a lot of fun on our first fishing trip in Destin thanks to Captain Jonathan.

Trolling trip with Captain Tyler and Jesse
5/5
Great day! In our booking, we said that we were looking to troll weedlines and try to find some mahi. Tyler checked in with us ahead of time on the plan, and he and Jesse came prepared to do just what we asked and more. Caught mahi and skipjack tuna and they took great care of us. The best part was that they got just as excited as we did when we found them. Highly recommended

We had a blast! Weather was perfect after rough weather early in the week. Capt. Jon did everything he could to put us on the fish. Even though the was salinity wasn't right for trout, he was able to find us some skipjack to have fun fighting! Made sure the youngins were baited at all times. Takes pride in doing all in his power ensure an enjoyable experience. Will definitely utilize him in the future!

Phillip Houston with 850 Charters.
5/5
Phillip is a great charter Captain. We met at 6 am and catching fish by 7:30 am. It was great. We caught fish on and off all morning. We had King Mackrel,Grouper and Red fish. I am not the greatest at fishing and he helped me a lot.
At the end of our 5 trip we came home with about 7 fish. Cleaned and bagged. Phillip is an AWESOME Captain.
