About Your Trip

Hop on board with Captain Chris and explore the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village"! The nearshore waters around Destin are a great spot to catch some sought-after fish without going too far from the dock.

Captain Chris will help you target a variety of species on this 4 to 8-hour nearshore adventure, including Red Snapper, Red Grouper, Gag Grouper, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Amberjack, Triggerfish, Dorado (Mahi Mahi), and even sharks. To target these fish, you'll be using a variety of techniques such as light tackle, bottom fishing and trolling. Just let Captain Chris know which fish you want to catch and he'll get you set up with the best method!

You’ll be fishing aboard a 26' center console with two 150 HP engines and enough seating to accommodate up to 6 passengers comfortably. She can fish 4 people at one time and has a restroom.

Captain Chris recommends that you arrive at the East Pass Marina no later than 5 minutes before your departure time. You can bring a cooler with food and/or drinks. Adult beverages in moderation. Captain Chris will provide all rods, reels, tackle, and licenses. Live bait is not included but can be purchased prior to trip.

Enjoy your day out on the water with Captain Chris!

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
