    Wonderful Trip!

    6 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM • 4 adults

    Captain Nino and his crew took my husband and I along with our nephew and a good friend out on a six hour deep sea fishing experience. We trolled along the way for bait and tried several spots before we hit a gold mine of red snapper! We caught fish as fast as we could reel them in and the crew had another line ready to drop. It was a pure adrenaline rush! We all had a wonderful time and Captain Nino really worked to get us on some good fish. Friendly group and nice boat! I would definitely recommend Into the Blue and can’t wait to book with them again!

    Charter this boat

    8 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    Best Destin charter experience in years. when you can find a serious captain that cares about catching fish and works a committed crew to maximize that objective consider yourself fortunate because there are plenty that don't. Friendly, focused, good communication and found the fish. Hard to ask for much more. If you only have a day or two to fish in Destin and want the best chance to catch fish and have a great day, then this is your boat. Just for context, I've fished around the world and have had plenty of poser captains and bad days burning $100 bills on boats so when you find a good one, I like to pass it on. Tight lines!

    Non-stop action

    10 Hour Trip • 5 adults

    If you’re looking for the best fishing charter in Destin, this is it. We booked the 10-hour trip, and from the moment we left the dock until we headed back in, the action never stopped. We were constantly catching fish all day long, and not just the small ones—we landed several beautiful trophy fish that made the trip unforgettable. The captain knew exactly where to put us, and every move seemed to pay off. What truly set this charter apart, though, was the crew. They were absolutely incredible—friendly, professional, hardworking, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone had an amazing time. They kept lines baited, untangled hooks in seconds, celebrated every catch, and were always happy to answer questions and share their knowledge. Their energy and enthusiasm made the experience even better. If you’re on the fence about booking, don’t hesitate. Whether you’re an experienced angler or it’s your first time offshore fishing, this crew will make sure you have an unforgettable day. We came home with a cooler full of fish, incredible memories, and stories we’ll be talking about for years. Five stars isn’t enough. I’d recommend this charter to anyone visiting Destin, and we’ll absolutely be booking with them again the next time we’re in town .

    Amazing crew + 6 hours = 90+ catches with 50+ keepers

    6 Hour Trip • 4 adults

    This crew is …WOW! They know the waters, their boat and how to keep you on the fish. Starting with great communications - they suggested delaying trip by a day due to cool weather and high winds (so glad we accepted the rescheduling!) They were ready for cast off when we arrived. Boat is clean, comfortable and well maintained. You can tell they take pride in what they do and how they do it. Super organized from beginning to end. Nino, Groovy and Dom are all knowledgeable, personable and fun to chat with. We have never had a crew that worked so seamlessly together and that were so focused on making our trip the best. They made sure we caught a ‘BIG ONE’ (unfortunately not in season yet). We can’t wait to come back…but we will be eating on this catch for a good while!

    Book this Charter!!

    6 Hour Trip • 3 adults

    We came down drom Alaska to catch some warm water fish! invited our friend from Colorado and we had the best time! we caught several vermilion snapper, a couple red grouper, a few trigger fish and of course the bait to start, which was pretty exciting because of the dolphins! At the end of our trip we caught amber jack! had to let them go! (out of season) and a Gag grouper! also out of season…. we were all tired and had a Fantastic time! Definitely will be calling on captain Nino and crew again soon! In Destin, Florida you are pretty much guaranteed to be on fish with Into the Blue charter! CPT Nino and crew are absolutely awesome!

What's biting with Charter Boat Into the Blue 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.
