My father has over forty years of experience as a captain in Destin, Florida. I learned so much from him. I have been working the waters in Destin for over a decade, and have been running my own boat for the past four years. I most enjoy teaching people about the waters and the different types of creatures. Our boat offers much more than fishing, you'll get the full '5th Day' experience.

Earl WilliamsRepeat angler5.0VerifiedCaptain Brandy and staff is the best
7 Hour Trip – Family Fun • 8 adultsWe had an absolutely phenomenal time on our fishing charter! The weather was pretty rough at first, but the captain and crew persevered, expertly navigating the waves to get us right on top of the fish. Once we found the spot, the action was non-stop! We caught so many fish, completely filling our box with Snapper, trigger fish and we even caught a macral! The crew worked incredibly hard, keeping our lines baited, and making sure everyone on board had a blast. Even with the bumpy start, the experience was the highlight of our vacation. We can’t wait to come back and book another trip! Highly recommend this crew."

6 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe had Captain Jimmy and 1st mate Nick. Nick did a great job with all the tacke and keeping bait on our hooks. Captain Jimmy kept finding fish for us to catch. We caught a bunch of fish but only about 10 keepers. while out on the water we were thinking maybe it just wasn’t our day. However, when we returned to dock we noticed others had hardly caught anything at all. So, even on a day that the finish “weren’t biting” Jimmy still found us fish to catch! We had a great time and we will definitely book with Emerald Coast Charters again.

Full Day Trip Spring • 9 adultsDespite text warnings due to rough water the night before our trip, Captain Jimmy and Matt were ready and waiting for us bright and early. The swells were Large, but Jimmy somehow managed to keep the boat in position and Matt kept our hooks baited like champs.

Brandon Pitts5.0VerifiedAwesome Trip!
6 Hour Trip – Family Fun • 5 adults • 2 childrenThis was our first private fishing chartered trip and Captain Brandy and First Mate Matt were great! Captain Brandy navigated around a thunderstorm that rolled in, we barely had a spinkle of rain on us. Matt kept all the bait and tackle in check the entire trip. They both were wonderful with our three boys. We ended up with 37 fish that we were able to keep, but we caught much more.
