6 Hr – Shared Fishing Trip - 1:00 PM • 2 adultsHad an amazing trip with my son. Captain put us on em the whole time we fished.. deck crew are awesome and professional... Layton and Clay both made us feel right at home. Definitely made the trip worth it.. 16 people on our trip... I was worried about being crowded but it wasn't an issue at all... met some great people and caught a bunch of fish... Thanks again to Pelican Adventures and special thanks to Layton and Clay.... we will definitely be back next year!!!!

Private Fishing 6 hrs - 6:00 AM • 8 adults • 3 childrenImali smo privatni čarter planiran za nas 8 (3 odrasla i 4 dece). Posada nas je stalno snabdevala mamcima i bila je odlična sa decom. Celo vreme su nas držali na ribi i održavali interesovanje dece. Definitivno bismo ponovo otišli ako se vratimo ovamo.

Preston Higginbotham5.0VerifiedFirst time on a deep sea fishing trip and it was awesome!
Party/Walk-On Fishing 6hrs 6 AM • 1 adultHad a great time, caught a decent amount of fish, some trigger fish, rose lips, and the mingos we were all after. The guys on the ship were extremely helpful with getting tangles free, teaching us how to fish for the best fish, and keeping the boat very clean. And shout out to the captain for taking us to the best fishing spots! Had a great first time, would go back again!
Response from Charter operatorThank you for your awesome review! Looks like our captain and crew exceeded your expectation which we are thrilled to hear! There's something exhilarating about deep sea fishing and we are glad that you had such an awesome experience! We look forward to seeing you again in the future aboard one of our great vessels!

John Cameron5.0VerifiedGreat value and great time!
Party/Walk-On Fishing 6hrs 7 AM • 10 adultsWe booked with a group of 3 adults and 7 teens. Experience levels with fishing were varied. Zach, Evan, and Anthony did an excellent job as crew members making sure everyone had a great time. They constantly checked on us without being overbearing. They enforced rules and regulations without being demanding. The boat itself is comfortable. We brought home almost 40 fish and probably had to return about that many because of size regulations. I would highly recommend this trip.

Destin Snowbirds Caught Fish Along With
feb 5, 2019 • Destin
Pelican Adventures has been family owned and operated nearly 20 years, located on the Destin Harbor. We are happy to welcome our winter visitors every year, affectionately called "snowbirds". This lively group of retirees flock to the Emerald Coast every winter to escape cooler temperatures while enjoying the gem we call home in Destin, Florida.
Pelican Adventures offers fishing all year long and we were thrilled to put together a shared charter of Destin Snowbirds aboard the Good Times fishing boat. A shared fishing charter is an economical way to get on the water without fishing on a party boat. Call us to schedule a shared charter today - we will pair you and your group with other anglers to build a "private-ish" fishing trip!
Whatever you're looking for, Pelican Adventures can do it! We have a fleet of fishing boats and various trips inshore and offshore depending on what you want to catch Pelican Adventures can do it!

Sheepshead was on the bite February 2019
feb 4, 2019 • Destin
Come fishing with us all year long at Pelican Adventures on the Destin Harbor. We offer all types of deep sea fishing as well as inshore and nearshore fishing along the Emerald Coast in Destin, Florida. We had an exciting private charter on the Just Right where we spent the day inshore on Redfish, Trout and even a small Pompano! Caught a few keepers and tossed a few back for next time that were not in season or slot. Then, we headed to Destin's East Pass and killed it on Sheepshead. This is some tasty seafood right here and plentiful both along the surf in the Gulf of Mexico and along the bay and harbor.
We are a family owned and operated business for nearly 20 years and look forward to sharing our experience and knowledge of all things fishing in Destin! Pelican Adventures hosts a fleet of fishing boats to catch whatever your fishing for...offering private and shared charters as well as multi-passenger fishing aboard Vera Marie - our 70 foot party boat.
Give us a call and we'll set you up on the charter to fit your group. Booking now for the season ahead but also scheduling daily inshore and offshore fishing trips.

Mack Attack
sep 27, 2018 • Destin
Florida waters are home to 3 species of Mackerel - King, Spanish and Cero Mackerel have all been coming in hot to the docks at Pelican Adventures on the Destin Harbor. Come fishing with us on one of our fishing boats to reel in the fun with a mackerel fight!
Mackerels are plentiful along the Emerald Coast late March through November swimming the shallow surfs and along the reefs in the Gulf of Mexico.
Kingfish (King Mackerel) are the biggest of the 3 species and have a minimum size limit of 24' to the fork tail, with a bag limit of 2 per person per day.
Cero Mackerel is the least common of the 3, but many say the best tasting. This mackerel has no size limit or bag limit.
The Spanish Mackerel, is what you generally think of when you hear "mackerel" in Florida. The Spanish has a min size limit of 12" to the fork and a bag limit of 15 fish per person per day.
Join us on the water to catch a mackerel on our deep sea fishing charters ranging from private and shared trips to multi-passenger fishing trips aboard our party boat. Book online by clicking here.

Fall Fishing Fun with a Cobia!
sep 10, 2018 • Destin
Luckily we were spared terrible weather in Destin by Tropical Storm Gordon! And the "calm" before and after the storm cleared some great fishing trips and awesome catch including this tasty Cobia. We are still blessed along the Emerald Coast to report clean waters free of Red Tide. Slick calm waters and bright sunny skies provided the perfect conditions for fun on the water and fish in the boat! Click here to book your shared and private charters this Fall as we gear up for the Annual Destin Fishing Rodeo throughout the month of October.

Cobia Mania!

Wow! There were over twenty cobia caught yesterday. Over all the boats that fished to the West did better than the ones to the East. There were also some very nice Triggers and Snappers caught.
