When I booked this trip I was asked “what I wanted to fish for”. I said “fish we could take home to eat, and maybe some big fish for some photos”. We caught our limit on mangos and switched to the big guys where I was luckily enough to catch a amberjack. This caption had great energy and was patient with the inexperienced fishers in our group! I would recommend to anyone in the Destin area and am looking forward to future trips!

Embarking on a private fishing charter with Captain Chris of Cinnsational Saltwater Fishing in Destin turned out to be an unforgettable adventure, especially for a first-timer like me and my group of four. Our journey took us several miles off the coast, where we were introduced to the thrills of near-shore fishing, surrounded by the beauty of the Gulf.

Captain Chris led us to several fruitful fishing spots, always on the lookout for where the fish were biting. Our patience and his perseverance paid off as we caught a variety of fish including sea bass, snapper, and flounder. What added to the excitement was the sight of dolphins nearby, enhancing the overall experience.

Although we had to release some of our catches back into the Gulf due to seasonal regulations, this was a minor setback and no fault of the captain.

Despite the cooler weather, which we were warned about in advance, our spirits remained high throughout the trip. Captain Chris’s warm personality and fun approach to fishing ensured that the cold did not dampen our spirits. His thoughtful preparation and communication before the trip ensured we were well-equipped and ready for the experience.

The service did not end with the fishing; Captain Chris skillfully cleaned and filleted our catches, allowing us to bring our fresh catch to a local restaurant for a delicious, cooked meal. This was a perfect end to our day.

We’re already looking forward to our next trip, hopefully at a warmer time of the year, to once again enjoy the best of Destin’s waters with Captain Chris.

My wife got me this trip for my 25th Anniversary present.  We had a blast. Captain Chris was great and very fun.  He did have to cut the trip shorter because my oldest daughter DID NOT take any Dramamine and was chumming the water.Chris was very concerned about her and finally made the decision to head in. He did give me a discount. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and I will definitely contact him next time I’m down.

Thanks Cinnsational Saltwater Fishing for the opportunity to fish with you.  We had a great time reeling in fish the entire time with you. Captain Chris was patient, energetic, and engaged with us the entire trip putting us on snapper, triggers, and a variety of other species. The only downside is he is a Bengals fan!!  HERE WE GO STEELERS!!
Just kidding - thanks again Chris!  We will definitely book with you next time.

Captain Chris was very knowledgeable and knows when/what to go for.  He kept all 4 of our lines baited when we needed it, which was quite often!!  We went on a 4hour trip on a Friday morning.  We almost tagged out on mango snappers!  We also caught some other snappers that we were able to keep also!  Caught and released a few triggers also, they were out of season when we were fishing.
