    Greatest fishing trip ever, for us!!!

    3 Hour Kids Trip (PM)4 adults2 children

    We had a really great experience! The guys were amazing! The trip was successful! We, family of 4, went out for a 3 hour trip and we caught a lot of fish!! Some of us didn’t even fish the entire time. Some of the fish we had to throw back but we came home with 12!!!! They even stopped on the way back so we could watch the dolphins. Definitely would recommend this fishing charter to everyone and will definitely charter them again next time we are in town! Thanks guys for a wonderful trip!!

    Capt. Mike was great!

    3 Hour Kids Trip (AM)4 adults2 children

    Capt Mike was a highlight of our 4th of July trip…my 12 & 10 year olds wanted to fish before we left for home, so we scheduled a quick 3 hour trip the day before. i alway fish 6+ hour trips, and being it was offshore i was worried there wouldnt be a ton of time to fish. Long story short, we were at the fishing hole within 15 minutes…and immediately we were trolling and catching King/Spanish…went a little further out and we were on Amberjack and Bonita (kids loved this because they fought!). Besides the fishing…it was his attitude and the way he is with kids that made the trip awesome. i would certainly recommend Capt. Mike if you’re looking for a trip, and I would also recommend more time to spend with him than just three hours. He will put you on fish! Thanks for a great 5th of July Cap!

    Amazing Trip

    6 Hour Morning Trip6 adults

    ​We had a rough day on the water with some very choppy conditions, but Captain Mike was absolutely phenomenal. He did an incredible job keeping the boat as stable as possible so we could actually fish, and his experience really showed in making sure we all made it home safe and sound. ​Despite the crazy weather, Captain Mike still managed to put us right on the fish. We walked away with a great catch of red snappers and groupers! If you want a skilled, safety-conscious captain who can produce results even when the weather isn't cooperating, Captain Mike is your guy. Highly recommend!

    5 Hour Morning Trip5 adults

    We had an amazing deep sea fishing trip in Destin! The crew was professional, friendly, and worked hard the entire trip to make sure everyone had a great experience. They put us on fish quickly and were always there to help with baiting hooks, untangling lines, and landing fish. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable for the whole day on the water. What really stood out was how knowledgeable the captain and crew were. They knew exactly where to go and kept us catching fish throughout the trip. Whether you’re an experienced angler or it’s your first time deep sea fishing, they make the experience fun and enjoyable for everyone. We caught plenty of fish, made great memories, and had an absolute blast. I highly recommend this charter to anyone visiting Destin. We’ll definitely be back for another trip!

    Captain Mike and the Hiliner were Awesome!!

    4 Hour Trip - 2:00 PM5 adults3 children

    Captain Mike and his boat the Hiliner were awesome! We had a crew of five people, one teenager and two younger kids and wanted to get out on the water and do some fishing. It was a red flag week down in the gulf and conditions weren’t the most favorable but Captain Mike got us out and put us on fish from the first stop! It was such an awesome experience for the kids! Captain Mike, you can tell has been doing this for sometime and is very experienced as a boat captain and understands the fish and conditions of the gulf very well. He got us on fish and kept us on fish the entire trip. Highly recommend him. If he’s got an opening… Book em! Well worth it! FYI, the fish hanging on display are obviously just the ones we kept. We probably caught three times that which we tossed back, they were either just not what we were fishing for or not in season to catch… You’re gonna be busy! Lastly, the restaurant right behind Captain Mike’s boat slip per his recommendation did a hook and cook… where you bring your catch in and they do it up for you… Extremely reasonable..highly recommend.. it was phenomenal! Thanks again Capt!!

What's biting with My Chance Charters in Destin

As the crowds start to die down, there's no sign of the fishing going anywhere. The weather is still warm, so you should take advantage of this time of year, when Tuna and Sailfish come close to shore.
