    Had a great time!

    2 Hour Trip – Kids PM • 4 adults • 2 children

    Booked the kids 2 hour trip with Capt Wyatt. It ended up being a rather windy day which makes for good near shore fishing he said, but with how big the swells were, the captain said for the kids safety, we would be fishing the channels, he made it clear that the channel fishing would be challenging and didn’t give us false hope. To his surprise and ours, we caught a total of 8 fish. We caught 4 black drum, a pig fish, 2 pin fish, and a croaker. All ranging from about 6-12 inches or so, but they put up a decent fight and we had fun. Overall, it’s always a gamble booking a fishing charter knowing you may not get anything, but we happened to have good luck, captain was very nice and good with the kids, helped us with the technique for the type of fish we were after, and kept us moving along the channels every so often. I would have no issue booking with them again and trying out another type of fishing if the weather permitted but the channel fishing was fun too and I liked being able to cast my own reel, not like my experiences deep sea fishing where all you do is just reel in once you get a bite and the crew sets the hook. They are also reasonably priced and the captain was a total pro and we had fun.

    Half Day Trip with Captain Lewis

    6 Hour Trip – Gulf Fishing

    I had an amazing trip with Right Side Charters and Captain Lewis. Captain Lewis was very knowledgeable and knew all the spots to get the fish on my hook. He was extremely helpful and answered any questions I had. He was also able to get me hooked up and catch my first amberjack! I highly recommend booking with Right Side Charters and Captain Lewis if you want to have a great time and limit out on some fish.

    Great Time with Big Grouper

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore AM • 4 adults

    Captain Wyatt was awesome! We had a great time and caught a bunch of fish. He was extremely knowledgeable and helped me and my sons tremendously. We caught grouper and bonitas that we kept but caught a ton of other species.

    My wife and I wanted an easy going captain and charter for some fishing as well as taking in some sights. The fishing was great and buddy handled everything. We trolled by Crab Island as well as the harborwalk. He was very knowledgeable about the area and this was a really great way to take in the destin area from a water view. Most exciting of all we had a dolphin come right up to the boat to say hi. Fantastic trip, very kind and professional captain. Great for a couple or families with kids. If you are looking for a good all around trip, this is your guy. He even cleaned up a couple of fish for us to take to dinner. Thank Buddy, we hope to book again.
