The business started out for us as guest being taken out fishing on this very boat. Having a love for the ocean and fishing we decided one day to purchase this business. Having a love for providing a special experience for our guest and making memories is what we enjoy. Once you've fished in Destin you will be hooked! Just like we were. I would say my favorite species of fish is definently grouper, fun to fight and great to eat!!

    Saved our trip!

    Winter special • 2 adults

    Captain Richie was able to change our charter day since the weather conditions were poor for our original day. It was definitely the right call. instead of freezing and getting beat up by waves, the weather was perfect and much calmer water. Ernie, the first mate was great at keeping us rigged up and fishing the entire time. The Captain kept us on fish and we caught a bunch! Ernie cleaned and bagged all of our fish. He even made sure they were de-boned. Me and my wife will definitely use them again. next time we plan on bringing our kids. Thanks again Richie and Ernie!

    Excellent Trip

    6 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM) • 7 adults • 1 child

    We had a wonderful time celebrating my Dad’s retirement. We did a 6hr tour with 7 people. We were catching red and vermillion snapper consistently. The first mate Chris kept us with bait on the line the whole time. We brought my sons aged 11 and 13, and both Captian and Mate were wonderful with them. Highly highly reccomend.

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper
    Vermilion Snapper

    Wonderful overall trip

    5 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing • 11 adults • 6 children

    Everything you could want in a fishing trip is what we had. The captain put us on the fish and we caught over 100 with many many keepers. The crew was polite, knowledgable and friendly interacting with the kids. Our group was 6 adults and 6 kids. Overall great trip and will defiantly be book again in the future.

What's biting with Reel Legend Fishing Charters 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.
