Got off to a rocky start because somehow the captain wasnโt aware of my booking made on this website, and they had a late start for their morning run and didnโt show up back at the dock until ~90 minutes after our scheduled departure time.ย I started calling the phone number listed for the captain as soon as we got there and didnโt see the them at the dock, but it was going straight to voicemail (because they were outside of mobile coverage area so far out on the ocean, we found out later).ย So we sat around for a while wondering if our trip was cancelled without our knowledge, until I spoke to the kind lady in the local booking booth who was able to reach someone and they told us they would still take us out but would be back in about 30 minutes.
After we finally left, everything went great and my family had an amazing time.ย I even caught a big red snapper at the very end, which was awesome for our first deep sea fishing experience.ย Overall Iโm giving 4 stars because the trip turned out to be great despite the late start.ย I would just suggest getting in touch with the captain via phone to confirm your booking well in advance.

Had a great time with Captain Jim Miles and Deckhand Andrew. Everyone caught something, some we released due to size requirements or being out of season, even the Tan Shark caught by my brother-in-law. Deckhand Andrew was on the spot to de-hook, rebate our hooks or for general assistance. Great memories made with 5th Day. Thanks Brandy,

We arenโt that experienced and relied on Captain Jimmy and Deckhand Matt. It was choppy but a lot of fun. We caught sharks, played tug of war with dolphins who seemed to be playing with us by grabbing the fish on my line and not letting me have it, and we caught the limit of king mackerel on a day when a lot of boats werenโt very successful. Matt worked really hard to keep lines in the water and to clean our catch after. Worth every penny.
We are so glad your experience with Emerald Coast Charters aboard the 5th Day was everything you signed up for and more! We look forward to fishing with your family again!
We had an awesome day of fishing with Captain Brandy and Alex. We were on fish all morning long with 33 fish caught. Black Fin Tuna, Bonitas, Spanish Mackerel, Red Snapper, Trigger and a 8ft Dusky Shark. Alex and Brandy were really knowledgeable and just a ton of fun to fish with. They made our group of seven look like total Rock Stars when we got back to dock. Best fishing experience We have ever had. See you next year Yโall.
Absolutely amazing adventure !! Our family had a blast!! The captain really put us on some nice fish. ย Emerald Coast charter service overall is A+ and will definitely recommend. Anyone who is looking for a great adventure with loads of fish, great first mate, amazing Captain need to look no further.ย Schedule your charter today on the 5th Day.
