About the trip

One of the top things to do in Destin is fishing, and a 6 hour fishing charter will allow you to venture further into the Gulf of Mexico to explore why Destin is known as the World's Luckiest Fishing Village. This trip gives your family or group the flexibility to try out the different fishing styles that Destin has to offer and is highly recommended for those interested in both bottom fishing and trolling.

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.
