Meet Captain Brady—a true Destin native who’s been part of the local fishing scene since 1989. He started out as a second mate and earned his Captain’s license in 1995, running charters ever since with a reputation for excellence that’s hard to match. With decades on the water and a deep connection to the Gulf, Captain Brady is consistently recognized as one of Destin’s finest, earning “Captain of the Year” honors in 2008, 2016, and 2017.
Brady’s trips are more than just a day of fishing—they’re a front-row seat to the unforgettable. Ask him about the Mako shark that leapt 20 feet after snatching a Grouper, the Marlin that exploded out of the water with an Amberjack hanging from its mouth, or the dawn double hookup on two Blue Marlin near a drillship. With Brady, you don’t just catch fish—you collect stories.
Fishing is a family affair for Brady, with his wife Pam managing guest accommodations and the entire crew working together to deliver an exceptional experience. Whether you're chasing big game offshore or enjoying a fun day with family,...
