Captains Troy and his wife Suzanne, and deckhand Dakota delivered a perfect trip for snapper. They were an exceptional crew and itโs gotta be one of the nicest fishing boats in the Destin fleet. Definitely going out again with them. If they are available, choose the Reel Chill!
Great time not just fishing but learning a whole lot with Captain Troy and Deckhand Dakota. They were some of those most patient guys and when youโre trying to learn and also catch some fish thatโs something great to have. To put in shorter terms especially since it was all of our first real Offshore fishing trip they for sure maybe it an unforgettable experience. Thanks again an I will for sure be seeing yโall soon
Headed out right on time picked up some live bait and proceeded out to shallow reef where the Captainโs Wife took over the indoctrination of our 10 year old grandson to the sport of bottom fishing with some vermillion and small red snapper.ย The whole crew was very helpful all day.ย We tangled with the sharks and kept moving when they got too active.ย Filled out our limit of red snapper and added some vermilion that were worthy of filleting.ย Great People/Great Trip!ย I am a 74 year old double below the knee amputee and I had all the help I needed

Could not recommend Captain Troy, and second mate, Dakota, more. We have been out fishing in Destin before, and this was by far the best experience. The boat was super clean, Captain Troy and Dakota were very knowledgeable, and it just made for a great experience. Assuming we come back again next year, we will 100% book them again, and maybe for a few additional hours. We had an absolute blast.
Long story short, my wife fell ill on the boat and had a panic attack. The captain did the right thing by taking her back in. But given we were only an hour into a 5 hour trip, i would have expected some sort of refund or even a chance to reschedule a shorter in shore trip or something. I was mostly concerned with my wifeโs well being so I wasnโt thinking straight. The mate said the captain would work with us on the payment, but that never happened. Ive emailed and texted the captain and had zero response.

I am very sorry you were unhappy with your trip. However, facts are.ย I informed your group of where we have been getting good bites on snapper. And that it was a good ways out there.ย The three of you decided you were all in letโs go.ย After putting the outriggers out and trolling all the way to the bottom fishing spot, you begin fishing for 15 minutes at which time your wife stated she could not breathe was having pain in her chest in her arms were going numb.ย Within a few minutes, she began to pass out and faint.ย I made the decision is Captain to get her back to shore for medical attention as fast as possible.ย At which time we ran as fast as The Boat could to get her back to the dock.ย Once we reached the dock, you stated she would be fine. She did not need medical attention. And you would just leave her on the dock and we can go back out for another hour.ย I explained to you that we could not do that. We had already spent way more in fuel than what we had ever should on a five hour trip. Again, I am terribly sorry.ย However, if the situation ever presents itself again.ย I will act and respond in the same way.ย Safety is the number one importance on my vessel at all times. ย Captain Troy Reel Chill
