What a fun day of fishing. Although our start time started an hour late due to a dead boat battery, they ensured we got all the fishing time promised in our purchase.  The captain and his fantastic attentive crew had us on fish all day. We kept hearing “another mingo” over and over again for the type of red fish we were catching. The crew handled it unhooked all my caught fish for me and even would bait my hook from time to time to help maximize fishing times (they were sweet). In all I caught about 15 fish but some fish called “trigger fish” were not keep worthy (8) but still were big and fun to catch because they put up a little fight.  I caught 7 Mingo red fish and the crew cleaned and fillet at no extra charge. I’m so happy I caught all those mingos!!! The boat is equipped with iced ice chests for each person or family, clean normal size bathrooms, and good fishing reels and poles.  This was my second trip to Destin to do this tour.  Hope to come back year after year! So fun to yell “Fish on!!!” All day long! Thank you Pelican Adventures.

My wife and I have been on many charters from Key West to Destin over the years.  This time we took our 12 year old daughter and wanted a trip she would enjoy for her first time out on The Gulf of America.  This crew was great and we all had a blast.  Definitely recommend this charter to families and we will be back.  Special thanks to Dennis and Ron.  They did a great job helping keep the fishing going even with a little rocky water and a few tangles.

We took a 6 hr party/walk-on trip with 5 in our group, ranging in age from 6 to 55. It was about 1.5 hours out to the fish, but there was plenty to watch to keep the attention of the younger ones on the ride. Once it was time to fish, the crew did an awesome job to move a few members of our group to the back of the boat so we could all fish near one another. We bounced between a few different spots, catching 3 or 4 different species of fish, and the crew was always quick to help with tangles and taking fish off the hook. Our group had one of the fullest coolers on the boat with 14 keepers and about a dozen more we had to throw back because they were too small or out of season. We did have one person get a little seasick and he appreciated having the A/C in the cabin to get more comfortable. I’d definitely recommend this trip to any young families or groups looking for their first exposure to fishing on the ocean.

The people at Pelican Adventures were so great. From scheduling my trip straight through till the day we left there was excellent communication. The Captain and I had spoken via text. Parking is easy. The boat is in great shape. They provided two mates to help us with all the fishing tasks. Both of those guys were excellent. When we got back to the dock, they filleted all the fish, took pictures of everyone with the fish that they caught, and put everything in a nice carry bag. I would totally go back to Pelican Adventures.

I had some time while down in Destin and thought I would take my teenage daughter that likes to fish out. She had a good time and we caught many fish. The crew was very helpful and attentive. I had an equipment malfunction that was quickly resolved with a new rod of which they came prepared. We were able to spend as much time as possible. This was a nice change as other boats I’ve been on had a hard time keeping us fishing. Overall a great trip thanks to the crew.
