We had a relatively calm day and weather.  Captain Tim quickly got us onto King Mackerel, then trigger fish and grunts, fun for the family to catch, and we brought home some nice fish filets.  Very nice boat and accommodations for the 6 of us, clean, safe, and great equipment.  I highly recommend this charter for families of varied fishing experience, or no experience.  Captain Tim clearly cares about his clients and making sure everyone is comfortable and having fun.

We had a great experience fishing on the Wild Child with Captain Tim. Not only was the boat comfortable, but the equipment and technology on board were very helpful and easy to use. Captain Tim took time to explain everything. He got us in the right water for the right fish. This was the first deep sea fishing experience for half of our group, and boy will it be hard to top. Not only did we catch good eating fish, Captain Tim filleted them for us! We got quite a bit of Vermilion Snapper, a few Striped Snapper, and even caught a 40 pound Amberjack. Captain Tim looked up Amberjack to see if we could keep it, but it was out of season. Thanks so much Captain Tim. We will for sure do this again.

Had a great 4 hour trip with Captain Tim. he took care of everything and made sure that the kids had a great time catching fish!  Boat was very nice, big and had a covered area to provide protection from the sun! Everyone caught some fish! Definitely would recommend to anyone in the Destin area!

Anyone that knows me knows I have high standards, especially when I’m spending money.  I expect someone’s best services, because that’s what I would provide if it were me.

I took my 9yo son and 18yo son on a four hour charter. From the time I booked with Capt. Tim O’Malley the lines of communication were great. Tim reached out personally to help answer questions, provided detailed directions, and ensured we were prepared by offering advice on things to bring.

Once we arrived it felt like we were being greeted by a family member. Tim was extremely friendly, polite, and punctual.  We were setting off within just a few minutes. 

Several things set Cpt. O’Malley’s charter apart from others I’ve taken.  Boat was clean, well equipped for a long charter (cold a/c inside, clean bathroom, working equipment).  Tim treated my sons like his own, and also made it a learning experience. He explained everything he was doing and why.  He was extremely patient. He got just as excited when the boys hooked a fish, “FISH ON!!!”. 

But one the coolest things was that he was equipped for commercial fishing, and we got to do it! No one else offers a commercial fishing experience (if you choose) (also has just poles if that’s what you want)

Cpt. O’Malley lowered the outriggers, gave the boys gloves, and they got to pull in hooked fish. We trolled and pulled in several fish with the outriggers as well as poles. 
We finished off the day droplining with the poles.  The four hours was jam packed and we were constantly reeling or pulling in lines. We all had a blast.
Cpt. O’Malley’s experience, heart, and patience make this a top notch choice.  We won’t go to anyone else when vacationing here.

Let me start off with the boat. It was awesome! It was clean and ran beautifully. The fishing next! We caught so many different fish even my grand daughter caught her some! Last but definitely not least the Captain. Captain Tim was informative nice, on top of it all my grand daughter was confortable with him shes 5, and was genuinely a nice guy I would hang out with. Captain Tim gave us an experience unlike any other!
