Background: 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.

5th Day's PLAN-DEMIC

May 9, 2020 Destin

Nothing brings JOY like unplugging and getting some much needed sunshine mixed with fresh air! Charter fishing is a great way to clear your mind and relax. Social distancing and grocery shopping at the same time! Its our plan during this season is to spread hope to ALL Americans! We are offering discounted rates on all trips! Call or text to book your trip today or if you have a question! (We are being sure to follow the CDC guidelines in place. We are sanatizing all common areas and staying away from other boats. Our vessel is a 6 passenger boat so no need to worry about your group being too large!)

SPRING BREAK is almost here!!

Feb 19, 2020 Destin

DEEP SEA FISHING IS A MUST this spring! Your family will have the best time together on the water. Get away from electronics and soak up the sunshine! Fishing on the charter boat "5th Day" is an adventure the entire family will be talking about for years!

5 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (PM)

I had a group of 5 go on this charter. I chose this charter because the website had good photos of the boat, good reviews, and it listed that it was fully air conditioned. This was not the case. The first hour or so we caught bait. For the price we paid for the trip, bait should have already been on the boat. I’m a pretty avid fisherman having been on many offshore trips and I wanted my friends and family to enjoy offshore fishing with a few amenities. That is why we selected a boat with good... More

I’m sorry you felt this way at all James. In all of my 15 years working on charter boats I have yet to have ANY group not recommend our company or feel as though I had bad customer service skills. In fact most people that come aboard never fish with another company. Some have been with me for more than 10 years. I am appalled at the fact you recieved excitement and direction as screaming at Jake and talking negatively at him. That is definitely a first for me and apologize if you felt that way but it is 100% inaccurate! Our downstairs AC is being replaced, however parts are backed up due to covid! Also, I did tell you about that before we left and you could come upstairs to cool down.. Catching bait is something you will do on every charter boat in Destin! This truly blows my mind, you stated you would like to fish with us again only you don’t recommend people should fish with us. Again, I am sorry this is your memory of fishing aboard our vessel, I never dreamed of reading such a review .

Hi Katie, we were unaware you didnt have a good experience aboard the 5th Day. We would like to know why you do not recommend our company so we may improve in areas that fell short of your family having an excellent trip.
