4 Hour Trip

The conditions weren’t ideal, but Captain Brett turned it into an unforgettable experience. His professionalism, knowledge, and positive attitude made the trip truly special. My son and I created memories that we’ll never forget. We caught triggerfish, red snapper, bonito, and mangrove snapper. Afterward, we grilled and fried the snapper, and it turned out to be the best meal we had during our entire trip. There’s nothing quite like catching your own fish and enjoying it fresh the same day.

Brought my 19yo daughter and 16yo son out. It was our fisrt time going fishing the gulf, we have plenty of lakes and rivers around us at home. Captain Brett knew the place, and we had fish on the line quickly, and didn’t really slow down. We caught nearly our limit of Mingo, and some time to troll for some wahoo. The captain was very efficient and always either helping bait hooks, or getting fish off. His instructions were always clear and easy to understand.

Captain Brett provided an amazing charter for us! We had five of us on board and he kept all of us on fish the whole time - never waiting for fish to bite too long and moving to find a new spot as they slowed down. He was baiting hooks and removing fish the entire time (dont forget having to keep the boat on the spot while doing all of this). The boat was clean with good gear. Just book the trip with Captain Brett - you will not be disappointed!

Capt. Brett was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to put our party on limits of fish. He was always responsive to all of my communications. Our party had an incredible day of fishing and it was Capt. Brett who made that happen. I will ask Capt. Brett to captain my next Destin fishing adventure and highly recommend him to others.

Great time one the water

VERIFIED

Captain Brett is awesome. Booked a 6 hour trip and not only did the the boat handle the choppy water captain did an awesome job of navigating the big waves to make the ride smoother. The fish would not cooperate making for some hard catches and lots of waiting but the captain would not take no for an answer and got us on some fish. Awesome boat, awesome capitan, awesome time on the water. Can’t wait to come back and fish again.
