Captain Chris was excellent and a great teacher! I was looking for a short introductory trip for our 8 year old son and this was it! Caught around 60 fish and brought home enough keepers for an awesome dinner!

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.

Caught a lot of fish. Family had fun.

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!
