    Best Crew in Destin!

    5 Hour Spring Special • 11 adults

    The charter was amazing! We went with 12 guys on a Bachelor Trip and caught over 50+ fish on our 5 hour trip. I have to give a huge shout out to the First Mate/Deck Hand, Caden! He was moving a mile a minute the entire time. Helping us re-tie when a fish broke us off, had bait on the hooks right after the last fish was caught, etc. He really made sure we got to utilize the most time with lines in the water! 10/10 recommend these guys if you are wanting to be put on some fish in Destin! I will definitely be booking with them next time around.

    Top Notch Crew and Nonstop Action

    4 Hour Spring Special • 12 adults

    Fantastic fishing charter experience. They easily accommodated our group of 13 and made everything smooth and enjoyable from the start. The captain was great, very knowledgeable and put us right on the fish. The deckhand worked incredibly hard the entire time. We kept him busy dehooking fish and rebaiting lines, and he stayed on top of it all without missing a beat. The boat and equipment were excellent, clean, comfortable, and well maintained. At the end of the trip, they filleted more than 50 fish in less than 15 minutes, which was seriously impressive. Highly recommend this crew for your next fishing trip. They know what they are doing and make sure you have a great time!

    Great Trip!

    6 Hour Trip (PM) • 9 adults • 1 child

    Our family of 9 enjoyed our time with Mighty Fine Charters. Our captain, Gavin, made every effort to keep us “on” the fish and would move to the next spot if our catch rate didn’t suit him. Crew mate Cayden did a great job of keeping us baited, the deck cleaned off, and assisting us when needed. We definitely kept him busy! We would definitely go back on this charter!

    Vermilion Snapper
    Gray Triggerfish

Heading to Drydock

Jan 15, 2018 • Destin
Every year, boats all around the country begin the yearly task of going to dry dock. This is where we haul out for maintenance such as scraping the barnacles off, repainting the bottom and hull, fiberglass work, etc. During this time, some boats also go through annual inspections by the Coast Guard to make sure we are in compliance with all the rules. They inspect the bottom and hull area, engine room and bilges, as well as paperwork and safety equipment. Safety is always first here on the Mighty Fine and we work hard to keep our boat in top shape. Dry dock can take anywhere from several days to several weeks, depending on what needs to be done. Here in Destin, in our fishing community, its amazing to see the fleet coming together to get ready for the upcoming season. While at the boatyard, many captains, mates, and extra hands are always willing to help where it is needed. This year, the Mighty Fine will clean and repaint the bottom and hull, clean, inspect, and repaint the running gear, have our electronics inspected and maintenance done if needed. Coast Guard will come and inspect as well. Many hours of hard work will be put into keeping us in top shape for the 2018 fishing season. We can't wait to get started!!
