    Late to the boat

    6-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared10 adults4 children

    We had a few people who coukd not get out of bed for 730am. So we were running behind. We got a text at about 720 to make sure we were coming. Which made the trip seem personal. They did not just assume we were not coming. We had a large party of ten half should up just in time and the other half was 8 minutes late. the staff was very kind and did wait knowing we were on our way. we are so grateful they waited for us. We had a great time on the boat and caught a bunch of fish. The ride was rought and people definetly got sick as the ride out is about ine hour and 30 minutes. I would not reccomend taking this trip of you are easily prone to motion sickeness. Otherwise I would highly recommend this trip.

    Amazing first time!

    6-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared13 adults4 children

    We had 13 in our group and all enjoyed ourselves! Nate was our favorite, he was ingaging, and had a great sense of humor. We will definitely be back to see the crew on the Sweet Jody! I would recommend this trip for kids over the age of 10 yrs old that are independent with most tasks and have some fishing experience. If you bring younger kids that require losts of help/engagement, be prepared to provide the support instead of fishing yourself. The fish are caught and then taken off by the crew members very quickly. This crew provided our novice fishing members plenty of support! Thanks guys! Best, B

    Amazing trip and the kindest captain and crew!!!

    5-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared2 adults

    Could not get better bang for your buck anywhere in florida. The ship is lovely and the captain and crew go above and beyond to ensure everyone on board is having the best time. The crew is there to help anyone of any skill level always moving around the whole boat to help everyone unhook their catch quickly so you can grt your lures back in the water to catch more fish. The captain keeps the boat moving and tells everyone how far off the bottom to fish so everyone always has the best chance to catch a fish. We came home with a TON of fish (even a red grouper!!) that the crew filleted for us on the docks. Definitely a memory we won’t soon forget:)

    Had the BEST time!

    6-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared3 adults

    I've been on multiple "party boat" fishing excursions all over Florida. Sweet Jody and her crew were by far the best we have been on in every way. The ship was clean, well-maintained, and well-appointed for a day of fishing. The crew was approachable, patient, kind, and proactive in helping. The captain was quick to move on from a spot if no fish were being caught or nothing that could be kept. The crew cleaning the fish at the end of the trip were efficient and did a great job! I will 100% be fishing again with Sweet Jody next time I'm in the Destin area. Thank you to Sweet Jody for an amazing day and memories to last a lifetime!

    Great Time!

    4-H Trip Great For Beginners Shared2 adults

    I recently went on a fishing trip that turned out to be an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Everything about the trip exceeded my expectations—the water, the action, and especially the people. The crew and captains were absolutely top-notch. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable, having fun, and actually catching fish. You could tell they genuinely cared about giving us a great experience, and it made all the difference. The atmosphere on the boat was laid-back but professional, and they were always quick to help, offer tips, or just share a good laugh. Whether you’re experienced or new to fishing, they make it easy to enjoy yourself. It’s rare to find a group that works so well together and keeps the energy positive the entire time. This trip is something I’ll be talking about for a long time, and I’ll definitely be making it a priority to do it again. If you’re thinking about booking a trip, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it. Thanks Again Sweet Jody Crew !!!

What's biting with Sweet Jody Family Adventures in Destin

As the crowds start to die down, there's no sign of the fishing going anywhere. The weather is still warm, so you should take advantage of this time of year, when Tuna and Sailfish come close to shore.
