    4 Hr –Offshore Trip - 1:00 PM4 adults

    Ive been on several Charters in Florida to go fishing, but this was definitely the best one ive went on. The boat was super clean, inside and out, the cleanet and prettiest boat ive been on charter fishing. Captain Chris really pays attention to detail when it comes to providing his customers a great fishing experience. I brought my teenage son and his 2 friends, and we ALL caught fish. Captain Chris made sure he put us in the best areas even with the recent tropical storm that passed which made conditions more difficult. Not only did we have fun fishing and talking, but he also stopped by on the way back to let the boys get them some ice cream at Crab Island! I cant reccomend this Captain enough, I will be back to fish with him soon!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you so much! Youre review is great and appreciated. We try to make it an experience not just a fishing trip. It was awesome having you guys on board. Tell them boys to keep that head down and throw them hands., I'll see them in D1 in a couple years!

    Great day fishing

    4 Hr –Offshore Trip - 1:00 PM4 adults

    We had such a great time on the Sea 4 and with Captain Chris. From the moment we set foot on the boat, he was very friendly and outgoing. He explained all the safety rules and details of the trip prior to leaving the dock so we’re all knew what to expect. He took us to a few spots and put us on the fish. Although we didn’t get as many bites as we were hoping and didn’t reel in anything we could bring home, we did reel in some beauties which made it all worth while. He definitely kept us on the fish and tried hard to ensure we reeled in as many as we could. Also, we were all excited to have several dolphins swimming within feet of the body. Truly a great experience. We will definitely reach out to Captain Chris for another adventure when we visits Pensacola again.

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper

    This trip was awesome!

    4 Hour Trip–Family Friendly Inshore - 1:00 PM4 adults

    We booked a 4-hour trip with Capt. Chris. I had intially indicated that we wanted a inshore trip for redfish. He advised that the Gulf was really calm and we could take an offshore trip for same price if we liked. So we decided to go that route. We were so glad we did Capt Chris put us on fish. Everyone caught quality fish with keepers. We also saw a sea turtle, sharks and some dolphins. Capt Chris is a great guide and alot of fun to fish with. We would recommend him for anyone looking for a great and affordable fishing trip.

    Thanks for the great review! Top water reds for sure next time!

    Best Captain Ever!!!

    6 Hour – Offshore Trip4 adults

    Even though the fish didn’t seem hungry today, Captain Chris made sure everyone onboard caught something! As if that was not enough, he then took us looking for dolphin before returning to shore! We where blessed to see a pod of four including a baby!! My husband, of 22 years today, actually caught a sand tiger shark as well!! Excellent trip!

    Wow!!!

    6-hour Shark Fishing Trip2 adults

    Let me start off by saying I have taken many deep sea fishing trips and this one by far was the best. We caught big Amber Jack, red drum and many other fish. Our captain is very knowledgeable and knew where to go to catch a bunch of fish. Any one that plans to do a deep sea trip do yourself a favor and book with Sea 4!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you for the great review! You guys deserve the credit. Youre two skilled anglers!

Mahi madness and Mingo mania

May 31, 2026 • Fort Walton Beach
We have put a few keeper snapper on board since the season started but not near the numbers we expect. Kings have been MIA. Again we’ve put one really good one over the rail, rest have been unimpressive or nonexistent. Mahi bite has been great. Mingos are steady and regularly over 12”.

Fishing Report 27 May 2026

May 27, 2026 • Fort Walton Beach
The Gulf calmed down a notch overnight, but summer storm mode is still fully engaged around Destin & East Pass. ?️⚡ SE to S winds 10–15 kt, seas 2–3 ft, and scattered thunderstorms mean today is all about timing your weather windows. The bite still looks strong when conditions cooperate: ? Spanish mackerel ? Bonita ? Pompano ? Snapper species ? Amberjack ? Triggerfish ? Cobia ? Mahi Morning should offer the cleanest opportunities before storms fire up later. Keep the radar handy and don’t let the Gulf sucker-punch your plans. #Sea4Ventures #DestinFishing #FishingReport #EastPass #FloridaFishing #RedSnapperSeason #GulfFishing #OkaloosaIsland

Fishing Report 24 May

May 24, 2026 • Fort Walton Beach
Destin Gulf update: SE winds 5–10 kt, seas around 2’, water around 78°, and thunderstorms are the big wildcard today. The bite is looking good for Spanish, bonita, pompano, bluefish, ladyfish, snapper, amberjack, triggerfish, vermilion, lane snapper, cobia, and mahi when the weather lets us work. Red snapper season is open, so it’s officially time to get serious. Fish smart, watch radar, and respect the water.
