  GREAT TRIP!!!

  4 Hour Trip PM Trolling & Shark on June 22, 2026 • 4 adults

  We had a great trip aboard the Vengeance out of Destin. Captain Matthew and the crew worked hard to keep us on fish and made sure everyone had a good time. We ended up catching 4 red snapper, 6 tuna, and a Spanish mackerel, and brought home a lot of great fillets. The boat was clean, the crew was friendly and helpful, and they did an excellent job cleaning and packaging our catch. Even though we didn't land a shark, the fishing was steady and we came home with plenty of fish for the freezer. If you're looking for a fun fishing trip in Destin with a knowledgeable captain and hardworking crew, I would definitely recommend the Vengeance. We had a great experience and would book again.

  One of the best Charters in Destin

  5 Hour Trip High Season on July 2, 2026 • 2 adults

  Captain Matthew and his brother David did a great job hosting myself and my Dad for a 5 hour trip bottom fishing trip. His two sons Cameron and Adrian did a phenomenal job on the deck giving us pointers, and I honestly found the more directions I listened to from them the more we caught. We caught Spanish Mackerel, Red Snapper, Amberjack, Bonito, and we almost hauled in some Barracuda. Came home with about 14 keepers, hit the limit for red snapper for 2 people, and overall had a memorable experience. Would highly reccomend!

  Sharks all around

  5 Hour Trip High Season - 2:30 PM on June 6, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

  we had such a great experience aboard the Vengeance charter woth Captain Matthew and his sons. Going out one of pur goals we had was to catch some shark. It did not tale long before we were all on for the fight of our livea reeling in said sharks!! We also caught lots of bonita tuna, lady fish, and tried to catch some red drum but they werent having it. Catching our own bait was actually a lot of fun as well. We had our two sons who are 9 and 13 with us and the crew did wonderful with them.

  Captain Mathew and Mate Adrian were awesome!

  6 Hour Trip AM High Season on July 11, 2026 • 4 adults

  Had a great time, The expedition highlight wad catching and releasing a 250 pound shark just for the experience, didnt keep it but that was indeed the best experience, took 15 minutes to reel him near the boat to get a picture, then caught a ton of snappers, trigger fish (catch and release) 3 big king mackerels, few bonitas. We had 6 hours of great fun. Adrian was excellent help with everything on the deck. Highly recommend this family owned fishing crew!
