    an amazingly fun 50th birthday experience

    8 Hour Trip — Fall7 adults1 child

    We had an absolutely incredible time today on our 8-hour deep-sea fishing trip aboard the Finest Kind, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we stepped on the boat, the Captain and entire crew were outstanding. They were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and worked incredibly hard throughout the entire trip to make sure everyone had a great time. Their experience really showed, and they went above and beyond to make the day enjoyable and successful. The Finest Kind is a fantastic boat, and you can tell it’s well-maintained and set up to provide a great fishing experience. The crew kept everything running smoothly and made the entire day feel relaxed and enjoyable. An 8-hour trip is a long day on the water, but the time absolutely flew by. Whether you’re an experienced fisherman or someone looking to get out on the water and have a great experience, I would highly recommend the Finest Kind and this crew. We had an amazing day and made some great memories. We will absolutely be booking another trip with them in the future! Thank you to the Captain and crew of the Finest Kind for an unforgettable day on the water. You guys were phenomenal!!

    Amazing Time!!

    5 Hour Trip — Summer8 adults

    This is the trip to book! Our group consisted of 8 people ages 22-80 years old. Some of us fishing novices, others experienced anglers. Every single one of us had a blast! The two young men that were on deck assisting us with instructions on how to use the poles, baiting our hooks, handling the fish we caught then fileting them for us were beyond awesome! They worked really hard to assure we could just keep on dropping our hooks and fishing. Captain Jason was great! He asked us what kind of experience we were looking for and gave us exactly that. He brought us out to all the hot spots and boy did we catch a lot of fish. We even got to see a shark! The boat had a wonderful air conditioned cabin and a nice private bathroom. Thank you Captain Jason and crew. We will be back!

    6 Hour Trip — Spring8 adults2 children

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience with this charter boat crew! The captain and crew were phenomenal from start to finish. We truly did not have a single complaint the entire trip. They worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time, and we caught plenty of fish! What stood out most to us was how attentive and kind they were — especially to the girls. They were patient, helpful, and constantly checking to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. Their professionalism and hospitality made the day even more special. After the trip, we headed back to the condo where Matthew prepared our fresh catch for dinner, and honestly, it was one of the best meals we’ve had. Such a perfect ending to a perfect day. We highly recommend this crew to anyone looking for a fun, memorable, and well-run fishing experience! We will return next year !

    5 Hour Trip — Spring9 adults2 children

    Super helpful captain and crew! We had two little ones with us who got sick, and the crew was so patient, kind, and accommodating the entire time. Nick was amazing — always quick to re-bait hooks and made sure the kids had a great experience. He even helped both of them catch a catfish at the end! The boat was also incredibly nice and very clean. We had such a great time and would definitely recommend them!

What's biting with Finest Kind – Family Friendly 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.
