Captain Dennis began fishing with his father off the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Since then he's been hooked on fishing with those that share his passion for the sport.

His passion has only grown in the years since while living and fishing the South Carolina Low Country for Redfish and Speckled Trout.

After serving in the United States Marine Corps, Captain Dennis decided to turn his passion into his full-time profession and is grateful for the opportunity to fish with new friends every single day- he's also thankful to his wife who grants his such a luxury.

Captain Dennis likes to say that every day is a new adventure and no two days are alike!

Captain Dennis is happy to bottom fish, troll or sight fish, and tries to incorporate all tactics needed to chase down target species including Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi (Dorado), Wahoo, Tuna, Triggerfish, Snapper, and much, much more!

About Your Trip

Hop on board with Captain Dennis and prepare for an action-packed fishing experience off the Florida Panhandle! The nearshore waters around Destin are a great spot to catch some sought-after fish without going too far from the dock.

On this 4 to 6-hour trip, Captain Dennis will take you off the coast of Destin where you can fish the inshore and nearshore waters for Cobia, King Mackerel, Redfish, and more. To target these fish, you'll be using a variety of techniques such as light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling and jigging. Just let Captain Dennis know which fish you want to catch and he'll get you set up with the best method!

You’ll be fishing aboard a 25' Cape Horn center console with two 150 HP Yamaha engines and enough seating to accommodate up to 6 passengers comfortably. This vessel is equipped with GPS, a Fishfinder, and an ice box to store your catches. Captain Dennis will happily clean any keepers for no additional cost!

Captain Dennis will provide all rods, reels, tackle and live bait. All you need to bring is sunscreen and any food or drinks you might need. Enjoy your day out on the water with Captain Dennis!
