Captain Si knows where the fish are at!!!

Goliath Grouper Excursion4 adults

We started the trip by catching multiple species of fish while attempting to catch bait. Upon the first attempt at putting the bait down for the Goliath grouper we were hooked up! The fish pulled off, but we were able to tempt the same fish into biting 4 different times until the massive Goliath grouper decided to flex his power and broke the rod! Captain Si was as astonished as we were but it didn't stop his creativity when he proceeded to tie up a handline using his anchor rope. We were able to handline in a 7ft shark with it. He made sure we were having a great time. We caught red snapper, Warsaw grouper, almaco jack, Bonita, and several other species on our Goliath grouper fishing adventure. My family is already looking forward to our next fishing venture with Captain Si when we visit Destin next year.

    Great Captains X2

    4 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing (PM) • 6 adults

    We booked a Shark Fishing trip. Firstly, I had some last minute questions pertaining to our trip. Captain Si called back very quickly and was knowledgeable and very friendly. Our Captains for the fishing trip were Wyatt and Mike. Both were very cordial, professional, and had great personalities. They brought us to a few different spots. We were able to catch numerous fish. Even though we did not catch a shark, it was a still a wonderful trip. The best part of the trip was the bantering, jokes, and conversation between everyone. When we got back to the dock, Mike filleted and packaged the fish we caught. I would like to do another Shark Trip for sure with this company. I recommend this charter company for anyone looking to have a fun filled and stress free fishing trip.

    Wyatt was dripping with Aura

    3 Hour Trip – Kids' Trip • 5 adults • 2 children

    First off, when you take kids on a boat who’ve never done serious fishing, you expect some moans and groans. Wyatt was so engaging and friendly that my kids were completely enthralled. Whenever something went wrong he adjusted with a happy attitude and made us feel like we were part of the crew. This is what makes the difference between a good trip and a great trip. A lot of people can tie lures and drive a boat. Not everyone can provide an excellent experience for kids. This was, by far, the highlight of our entire vacation. Thank you, Wyatt.

    Amazing trip with great captains!

    4 Hour Trip – Captain's Choice - 1:00 PM • 3 adults • 1 child

    It was a wonderful trip. Captains Wyatt and Mike made it a super fun trip for the kids. We caught plenty of fish and saw dolphins. Mangrove snappers, the biggest Ladyfish the captain had ever seen, Red fish, and even a blue crab. They even took us to crab island twice during the trip to let cool off from the heat. Overall amazing experience and we will definitely use them again next year!
