Captain Phillip is the man

4 HR Deep Sea Captain's Choice2 adults

We had a blast with Captain Phillip today and had a morning of fishing we will never forget. He put us on the fish early and we had a steady stream of fish the whole trip. Just as we were getting ready to call it a day we tied into a dandy fish. After a solid 30 minute fight, we pulled in a 78” 79 lb. Monster of a fish. It was awesome.

    Awesome day for me and my sons

    THE 85O(CAPTAIN'S CHOICE) Deep Sea • 3 adults

    captain Philip was a really great guide. wish we would have booked two days with him instead of a different service we fished with the first day. He worked the boat and top/bottom pole to get us on fish. It was a slow start (even to the other guides we heard on the radio), but he kept at it, and moved to areas and kept at it. It payed off for a fantastic multi species catch. We got on red snapper, red grouper, triggerfish, and caught two beautiful king mackrel. Id attribute it to his knowledge and persistence. Great guide, great boat, and an awesome fishing experience we wont forget. Will 100% be back and fish with him again. Couldn’t recommened better!

    Best trip ever!

    5 HR Deep Sea Captain's Choice - 1:00 PM • 5 adults • 3 children

    We had an incredible experience on the 5-hour deep sea fishing charter with Captain Philip! From the moment we left the dock, it was clear he is an expert in his field. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and took the time to explain his unique approach to fishing, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Even though fishing is never guaranteed, Captain Philip put us on some amazing fish, and we ended up catching several impressive big game fish. His experience, patience, and ability to read the water really showed throughout the trip. If you’re looking for a captain who genuinely loves what he does and works hard to give you the best possible experience, Captain Philip is the one to book. We had an absolute blast and would love to go out with him again. Highly recommend!

    Best 1st Time Experience!

    4 HR Deep Sea Captain's Choice • 4 adults • 2 children

    Core memory made! This was the kids' first chartered fishing trip, and it couldn't have been a better experience with 850 Charters. Captain Phillip was amazing with the kids from the very beginning. He took the time to explain everything, made them feel comfortable, and put us on the fish! From catching bait at the jetty to trolling and landing King Mackerel and Tuna, every minute of our 4-hour trip was unforgettable. If you're looking for a fun, family-friendly fishing charter, we highly recommend 850 Charters and Captain Phillip. We'll definitely be back!

    THIS IS THE ONE!!

    THE 85O(CAPTAIN'S CHOICE) Deep Sea - 1:00 PM • 4 adults

    By now youve probably searched and compared a bunch of different charters…well, let me help you out…BOOK HERE! 850 Charters ensures that you WILL have a blast…from the moment we hopped on the boat Captain Philip made us feel welcomed and ensured this trip was exactly what we wanted. We booked the 6hr afternoon trip. There was no lack of excitement, fish hitting/catching, laughs, and TONS of “wow-moments”! I cannot recommend 850 charters enough and I promise you, you’ll walk away feeling the same…with a cooler full of fish and memories to last you a lifetime!

    Great trip with a great Captain

    4 HR Deep Sea Captain's Choice - 11:00 AM • 4 adults

    We had a 4-hour charter with Captain Phillip, as a party of 4. We caught our limit--10 per person--of vermillion snapper, as well as about 20 triggerfish that didn't make the size cutoff, but were terrific fighters. Phillip gave everyone as much help as they wanted/needed, and seemed to have 6 hands when things got fast! The boat was in great shape, and Phillip cleaned our catch back at the dock. We feasted on snapper that night, and took home enough (frozen) for several more meals. I would absolutely book with Captain Phillip again, and will next time we are in Destin.
