Had a fantastic time. Capt JT knew where the fish were to ensure a successful trip. Caught 3 Amberjacks and a score of Redfish, unfortunately too large to keep but the experience was awesome. Such an easy going and patient man, 2 inexperienced women fisherman whom both reeled in an Amberjack.

A true professional helped my 8 year old son catch tons of fish. We did a short 1 hour beginners trip around the harbor and it was wonderful. Captain JT was very nice and helpful. Very nice boat and I would recommend him to anyone. Will definitely be calling him in the future for a longer trip.

We arrived to the dock a little early as Phillip was getting the boat ready to go.  We left the dock on time and went to catch some bait which we enjoyed doing.
We then went to deeper waters where the captain kept us on told of the fish. 
Overall it was a great trip that consisted of catching fish, seeing dolphins and sea turtles and when Phillip was done filleting the fish we carried it right into the restaurant and they cooked it for us.

My family and I are from North Carolina and this was our first vacation to Destin Florida. We booked a six hour trip with Dawn Patrol Charters, we were very pleased! This was my youngest daughter age 9, first fishing trip and she was so excited. Phillip was awesome with her and made sure she felt that she was needed throughout the trip. We started out catching our own bait which we had never done on our previous trips. Phillip took the time to explain everything to us. He then took us to spots that he knew were good. As you can see we had some nice catch which Phillip cleaned for us to take home. Can’t wait to book our next trip when we return next time. I highly recommend Dawn Patrol Charters to anyone!

Amazing afternoon of fishing geared toward my 7 year old’s first big fish experience. Rough waters were against us being successful but this outfitter was undeterred. Often we’d get only a couple of casts before we’d have to move the boat back in place. The Captain worked hard and was hands on at all times with my son…which “I think” was the reason my son caught more than me… Having used outfitters sight unseen many times, I can not express in words how hard this outfitter worked to make my son’s (and my own) experience a great day of learning. 5 stars only because this rating doesn’t offer a 6 stars. Price was extremely fair for the professionalism and hard work provided. Looking forward to grilling some red snapper when we get back to Texas. Cheers. We’ll be back!
