I grew up helping on boats & started fishing Destin's waters at 9 years old. As I learned, I wanted to know more. By the time I was in high school I had the opportunity as a first mate & continued to gain deck & engine room experience. As any captain worth their salt will tell you, the only way to be safe, successful, & knowledgeable in the fishing industry is to work your way up from the deck. That's exactly what I did. At 18, I began driving boats using the skills & experience I developed working on deck. I logged sea time hours all over the world to earn my 100-ton Master's License in 1985. Returning to fishing in Destin, I had an upper hand over my peers since I had started at such a young age. I saw the successes of other captains & was motivated to follow in their wake. While I captained boats for others, I built my own reefs to establish my footprint for fishing in Destin. By God's grace, my wife & I were able to purchase our own boat in 2021 & we began building this business.

    Fantastičan Porodični Ribolov!

    4 Hour Trip – Family Fishing (PM) • 5 adults • 3 children

    Uživali smo u izletu sa kapetanom Clifom i prvim mornarem Austinom neizmerno. Naš prvi put na dubokomorskom ribolovu nas je sve učinio radoznalim, uzbuđenim, pa čak i pomalo nervoznim, ali oni su bili veoma strpljivi i od velike pomoći. Ulovili smo duplo više nego što smo zadržali i proveli smo se sjajno. (Triggerfish, Vermillion i Red Snapper) Kapetan Klif je učinio sve i više kako bi osigurao odlično i bezbedno vreme na vodi. Mnogo hvala Austinu na vašoj stručnosti! Radujemo se dubokomorskom ribolovu u budućnosti! Definitivno bismo se ponovo pridružili brodu REEL GRACE na vodi.

    Odličan popodnevni izlet sa decom!

    4 Hour Trip – Family Fishing (PM) • 3 adults • 2 children

    Ulovili smo Red Snapper, Vermillion Snapper i Amberjack. Kapetan Klif je bio odličan, a Ostin (prvi pomoćnik) je bio strpljiv sa svima nama amaterima :)

    Odlično porodično iskustvo na odmoru

    6 Hour Trip (AM) • 6 adults • 2 children

    Rano u sezoni, pa nema krupnih riba; MEĐUTIM, imali smo dosta akcije loveci vermillion snapper i neke triggerfish. Kapetan Atwell je pružio solidno iskustvo i održavao sve zauzete!!!! Pomoćnik Austin nije prestajao da se kreće, brinuo je da se linije ne zapetljaju, mamio udice i stručno rukovao svim ulovljenim ribama. Bio je veoma strpljiv sa onima od nas koji su povremeno zapetljavali ili im je trebalo savetovanje o najboljim načinima da dobiju zagrize. Prvo porodično ribolovno putovanje bilo je OGROMAN uspeh!!!!!

    Odlična zabava za celu porodicu!

    5 Hour Trip • 5 adults • 3 children

    Odlično prvo iskustvo ribolova za troje mojih unučadi uzrasta 12, 9 i 6 godina. Doputovali su iz Feniksa i uživali su u našem izletu od 5 sati. Ulovili su vermillion snapper-e, red snapper-e i triggerfish-a. Sjajno vreme i odlična posada!

Holy Mackerel!

jul 6, 2025 • Destin
Mr. Cary and his family went with us and wanted to do a little trolling before heading out to bottom fish for Snapper. It's a good thing they did, because his daughter reeled in this big King Mackerel! Then we headed out to bottom fish, where they caught some Red Snappers, Black Snappers, and Vermilion Snappers. Our 6 hour trips are best if your family wants to troll and bottom fish, or your best chance for targeting Red Snappers.

Kid Friendly Fishing

jun 9, 2025 • Destin
We love to take kids out to experience fishing and make memories as a family! For first-timers and younger kids, a 4 hour trip is usually just right for doing some trolling or for bottom fishing for Vermilion (Mingo) Snapper--a smaller variety, but just as tasty to eat. For big kids, tweens, teens, or kids who have been fishing before, a 6 hour trip allows us to target Red Snapper like those shown here. Any trip you choose for your family, we will keep you busy, have some fun, and make some family memories!
