Right Side Charters 

Booked the kids 2 hour trip with Capt Wyatt. It ended up being a rather windy day which makes for good near shore fishing he said, but with how big the swells were, the captain said for the kids safety, we would be fishing the channels, he made it clear that the channel fishing would be challenging and didn’t give us false hope. To his surprise and ours, we caught a total of 8 fish. We caught 4 black drum, a pig fish, 2 pin fish, and a croaker. All ranging from about 6-12 inches or so, but they put up a decent fight and we had fun. Overall, it’s always a gamble booking a fishing charter knowing you may not get anything, but we happened to have good luck, captain was very nice and good with the kids, helped us with the technique for the type of fish we were after, and kept us moving along the channels every so often. I would have no issue booking with them again and trying out another type of fishing if the weather permitted but the channel fishing was fun too and I liked being able to cast my own reel, not like my experiences deep sea fishing where all you do is just reel in once you get a bite and the crew sets the hook. They are also reasonably priced and the captain was a total pro and we had fun.

I had an amazing trip with Right Side Charters and Captain Lewis. Captain Lewis was very knowledgeable and knew all the spots to get the fish on my hook. He was extremely helpful and answered any questions I had. He was also able to get me hooked up and catch my first amberjack! I highly recommend booking with Right Side Charters and Captain Lewis if you want to have a great time and limit out on some fish.

Wyatt was our captain and he made the whole adventure so fun. He knew all the spots and to catch some fish. I couldn’t be more satisfied. I absolutely recommend 1000 times for family or a couple’s get away like us. Much Love!

Captain Wyatt was awesome! We had a great time and caught a bunch of fish. He was extremely knowledgeable and helped me and my sons tremendously. We caught grouper and bonitas that we kept but caught a ton of other species.

My wife and I wanted an easy going captain and charter for some fishing as well as taking in some sights. The fishing was great and buddy handled everything. We trolled by Crab Island as well as the harborwalk. He was very knowledgeable about the area and this was a really great way to take in the destin area from a water view. Most exciting of all we had a dolphin come right up to the boat to say hi. Fantastic trip, very kind and professional captain. Great for a couple or families with kids. If you are looking for a good all around trip, this is your guy. He even cleaned up a couple of fish for us to take to dinner. Thank Buddy, we hope to book again.

Captain Buddy was a great host & made our son’s first fishing trip a memorable one. We did a 3 hr Bay Trip & it was the perfect amount of time to check out several locations and catch a variety of fish (snapper, speckled trout, redfish) and a BIG one that snapped the line and got away. While some were not slotted to keep, all were fun to catch & we were able to keep enough for lunch. Captain Buddy was extremely patient with our son and even let him “drive the boat” for a little bit. We’d definitely recommend & will be repeat customers on our next trip down.

This was the best fishing experience me and the family has ever had! Buddy was great with the kids. We caught our limit of red fish and we even had to throw one back that was TOO BIG! My youngest son was able to add 4 new species to his résumé. I would definitely recommend this to any family looking to have a great time while in the Destin area.

We had a blast. It was everything we had hoped for. Captain Buddy and his crew put us on fish at every stop. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

My son and I had the best experience with Captain Buddy! We caught alot of fish! Thank you Captain for your guidance and patience with us. We had a blast. My son asked as soon as we got off of the boat if we can do it again next year! I highly recommend Captain Buddy and Rightside Charters.

My boys had an amazing time with Captain Buddy. He was very patient and helpful with my first time fishermen.
