About Your Guide

Quinton Destout

Independent Guide
Captain Q is a dedicated Everglades guide who has spent the past several years fully immersed in these waters. He specializes in shallow water sight fishing, with a strong preference for fly fishing, though conventional gear is always an option.

For him, fishing is about the hunt—finding the fish, reading the water, and making the right move at the right time. It’s a style that’s technical, rewarding, and deeply engaging. His passion for the Everglades runs deep, and he spends as much time as possible exploring, learning, and refining his approach.

What sets him apart is how much he values the experience. Guiding hasn’t taken away from his love of fishing—it’s enhanced it. Seeing clients succeed, whether it’s their first snook or a hard-earned tarpon, is what drives him.

Laid-back, patient, and focused, he works with anglers of all skill levels and takes pride in creating a trip that’s not just about catching fish, but about the time spent on the water. In a place as vast and complex as the Everglades, having someone who truly knows it makes all...
