    Trip: Destin Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    The trip was amazing! Captain put us on the fish immediately and was consistent through out! Four of us on the trip and we all caught more than 2 fish! Had a 100+ lb fish on but line snapped. Was a great experience and would fish with them again!

    Trip: Niceville Gulf Fishing

    Although deckhand Larry was new to fishing, he was very friendly, kind, and helpful! Just what you want on an unfamiliar excursion! He also hooked all bait for me, appreciated it!

    Trip: Destin Offshore Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    We were a family of six with kids from 6-15. All had a great time. Boat was a good size for us beginners. Jake and Tim worked hard to help us have a memorable experience. We had no prior fishing experience, but they helped us get comfortable with what to do and then found us the fish to catch. I would highly recommend and would look to adventure with them again.

    Trip: 3 Hr Kids Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    We had an amazing trip with the kids. A lot of action, everyone caught a handful of fish and had a blast. We brought home 30+ fish and had an amazing dinner. Couldn’t recommend more - we’d love to run it back on our next trip!

    Trip: Destin Spring Special

  • ★★★★★
    10/10 great time. We took our 3 kids and their friend on 6 hr charter. Cliff and Austin are a great team. We kept Austin busy baiting our hooks and taking off the 48 fish we caught. Cliff took us down the shoreline and we stopped at all his favorite fishing holes. We caught numerous vermillion snapper and trigger fish. We caught a Bonita trolling through the inlet. Every fish we pulled up put up a great fight , our arms were tired bye the end of the day. I would definitely recommend taking Dramamine before you get on the boat and wear rubber sole shoes so you don’t slide around if boat is rocking. Bring snacks. We wore our sun shirts over our swimsuits and were comfortable. The early morning ride out of the harbor had us all in sweatshirts and pants. Lots of memories were made. Thank you

    Trip: Bay Fishing Trips

  • ★★★★★
    We had such a great trip! Captain Gavin had us on fish all day, and Cayden worked his tail off making sure we all were rigged up and had lines in the water at all times. The boat was very comfortable for our group of 8. We will fish with them again next time we are in Destin. Thanks again for a great trip!
