My family and I are from North Carolina and this was our first vacation to Destin Florida. We booked a six hour trip with Dawn Patrol Charters, we were very pleased! This was my youngest daughter age 9, first fishing trip and she was so excited. Phillip was awesome with her and made sure she felt that she was needed throughout the trip. We started out catching our own bait which we had never done on our previous trips. Phillip took the time to explain everything to us. He then took us to spots that he knew were good. As you can see we had some nice catch which Phillip cleaned for us to take home. Can’t wait to book our next trip when we return next time. I highly recommend Dawn Patrol Charters to anyone!

Amazing afternoon of fishing geared toward my 7 year old’s first big fish experience. Rough waters were against us being successful but this outfitter was undeterred. Often we’d get only a couple of casts before we’d have to move the boat back in place. The Captain worked hard and was hands on at all times with my son…which “I think” was the reason my son caught more than me… Having used outfitters sight unseen many times, I can not express in words how hard this outfitter worked to make my son’s (and my own) experience a great day of learning. 5 stars only because this rating doesn’t offer a 6 stars. Price was extremely fair for the professionalism and hard work provided. Looking forward to grilling some red snapper when we get back to Texas. Cheers. We’ll be back!

Really great trip. Highly recommend Dawn Patrol and Captain Phillip. My wife and I booked a four hour morning trip. Captain Phillip got us onto fish and kept us there.  He is personable, helpful, and knowledgeable…..which made for a ‘sit back and enjoy’ the experience trip. The boat was clean and handled the water well. The rods worked perfectly fighting our fish. Will definitely book our next trip with them.

Capt. JT had some cancellations so called me early and asked if we wanted to go ahead and go. So glad we did. He put us on fish within 30 min. And we stayed on them all day. Daughter was extremely happy. She was also tired when we got home from all the action. Will def. return to Dawn Patrol.

Had an amazing time on the kids fun trip!  Captain JT took me and my 2 sons aged 8 and 12 out for a 3 hour trip and they had a blast catching red fish, Kobia and grouper.  It was the first time they had been on a fishing trip out in the gulf.  The trip was just perfect for them.  Thanks again for a great time!
