Gulf Thrills: 5-8 Hour Fishing

5 - 8 Hours | Deep Sea, Inshore, Nearshore | 1 - 6 People | Trip #1714

About Your Trip

Deep Sea
Inshore
Nearshore
Head out to explore the Nearshore and Offshore waters in the Gulf of Mexico with Captain Alex. His boat is Federally Permitted which means you can venture out past State Waters and go as far out into the Gulf as you want.

Profile photo of Captain Experiences guide Alex
Captain Alex started helping out aboard the Silver King when he was 12 years old. He took a hiatus from the Silver King to mate for another charter for 6 years before returning. He got his Captain's License at the age of 18 and started running trips aboard the Silver King. 10 years later, he has purchased the Silver King for himself and now runs his own operation! Needless to say, he knows how to get you hooked into the Fish around Destin!

Greatest time ever. I met captain Alex’s mom and Grandmother. I’m coming back and bringing others with me to share experience.
