About the charter captain
Destin, Florida, United States
I grew up helping on boats & started fishing Destin's waters at 9 years old. As I learned, I wanted to know more. By the time I was in high school I had the opportunity as a first mate & continued to gain deck & engine room experience. As any captain worth their salt will tell you, the only way to be safe, successful, & knowledgeable in the fishing industry is to work your way up from the deck. That's exactly what I did. At 18, I began driving boats using the skills & experience I developed working on deck. I logged sea time hours all over the world to earn my 100-ton Master's License in 1985. Returning to fishing in Destin, I had an upper hand over my peers since I had started at such a young age. I saw the successes of other captains & was motivated to follow in their wake. While I captained boats for others, I built my own reefs to establish my footprint for fishing in Destin. By God's grace, my wife & I were able to purchase our own boat in 2021 & we began building this business.

Great family fun!
This is our second time aboard the Reel Grace and we have had a WONDERFUL time both times! Our 7 year old son and 5 year old daughter had the best time and love learning about the boat and the fish! Captain Cliff was more than happy to answer all the questions from our 7 year old who wants to know everything! We caught so many fish and had a blast! 10/10 highly recommended.

Great family trip with Capt. Cliff and CJ
Great day of fishing! It was a pleasure to be on the water with Captain Cliff and CJ! Very knowledgeable and had us on fish the entire trip! Caught mahi, snapper, vermillion, grouper, trigger, squirrel, and ruby lips!! Due to the season we were able to keep the mahi and snapper! After CJ prepared those, we took them up to Brotula’s where they cooked them up and served us family style!! Was phenomenal!!
