This was a last minute charter for us and will definitely be booking them again! They had us on fish from the get go and were extremely helpful throughout the entire trip.
We booked the day before on a whim and we won! Captains Paul and Eric safety briefed and then led us out to catch many fish. Snappers were in season so we got our full of those plus several other types of fish. Then we headed out for something bigger and quickly caught some big guys including a large shark and several Amber Jack. They made sure we each got a chance to reel in a big guy. A nice ride back to dock and they nicely cleaned, packaged AND labeled our fish. would highly recommend these professional guys!
Hi Kate, Thanks very much for the kind words, for being whimsical and great review. We had a blast with you and your boys and glad we got to get you guys a workout. You guys caught some beautiful fish and it was a pleasure to see the big smiles that came with each one. We appreciate you choosing us and entrusting a portion of your vacation with Eric and me. Safe travels back home, we look forward to fishing with you guys again and we wish you grreat fishing wherever life takes y'all. Capt Paul
From our inital online contact with the captain to end of our family day adventure, we had a great time making lot of memories. We caught about 7 different types of fish during our 4 hr offshore trip. We caught a lot of Triggerfish, Red Snappers and few Amberjack. Amberjack was by far most exciting fish reeling in. All in all, we caught about 20+ fish. Unfortunately most of them are not in season or it was too small for us to keep. Captain also provided us a lot of information about the fish we caught and fishing techniques for our boys. We really enjoyed and appreciate the fishing experience from the Captain. Hopefully we’ll be back soon and book abother outing with them.
Hi Scott, thanks for making the trip with us. We're happy to have become part of the memories of your Pensacola vacation and really happy we got to show you guys the great variety of fish we have here on the Emerald Coast. You guys and the boys did a fatastic job of catching fish. We appreciate you booking with us and look forward to visiting with y'al anytime yo find your way back to PNS. Safe travels and take care. Captains Paul and Eric Douglass
We had a great trip! Despite Tropical storm Bertha captain Paul did everything he could to make sure we got our trip In while we were in town. He and Eric were both very helpful, courteous and very professional. They also were able to put us on the fish! If you’re looking to book a trip out of the Pensacola area you should definitely book with Double D! We will be making it an annual trip!
Hey Jody, thanks for the great review and the stellar recommendation. We had a blast with you and Kory. That cobia was the biggest one we've ever had on the boat! Thanks for fishing with us. You guys were true sportsmen and we really appreciate that. We too look forward to seeing you back for another round and would love to make it an annual trip. All the best to you guys, Capt. Paul
These guys are great! I have booked many charters with my family and I have had varying experiences, but these guys were tops across the board. Communication, Preparation, Equipment, Methodology, Attentiveness, Safety... All of it was beyond anything we have experienced and that added up to a great day on the water with a lot of success! We caught 50-60 fish of different species, simply lost count. Take advantage of their off-shore option and you likely won't be disappointed. Will book again any time we are in the area!
Hi Tim, Very high praise and very much appreciated. It's especially nice to have feedback from people who charter frequently so we can have an idea of how we stack up. We take a lot of pride in our preparation and execution when we charter and are glad to have this kind of feedback. We especially enjoy father and son trips so we thank you for that gift. It always prompts a stroll down memory lane for the two of us. Thanks for choosing the longer charter; it provides an opportunity to showcase what we do. We wish you guys great fishing wherever you cast a line and hope to see you again in the not too dstant future. Captains Eric and Paul
Double D got us in the fish! Both Captains Paul and Eric hustled keeping bait on our poles and lines in the water. We caught trigger fish, red snapper, vermillion snapper, almoco jack,and remora. A beautiful dolphin made a surprise visit for several minutes too! Thanks to Double D for your hospitality!
Hi Jesse, Tiffany, Luke and Jacob. We sure enjoyed having your family out with us on Mermaid One. You guys did fantasticly well pulling up all kinds of fish. Props to Jacob (tough young man to hang in there while being green under the gills), and Luke (happy birthday one more time to him). Your boys are both fine gentlemen. Safe travels wherever life takes you and may the fish be biting wherever you drop a line and from whatever boat you're fishing out of. We look forward to seeing you again. Capt Paul
