Katie and Jaylin did an amazing job! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my family and I. They were very friendly and inviting, while also extremely informative and attentive. Thank you both for making our first experience so memorable!

5 Stars! Capt Katie and her deck hand Nick (amazing young man) gave us a wonderful day of fishing on the Gulf. Her hospitality, knowledge of fishing in the Gulf and patient instruction made for a very enjoyable and interesting trip. We trolled for mackerel and did some bottom fishing for shark, which unexpectedly got us a red snapper plus a good size shark. For me it was a welcome return to nearshore fishing and for my son, a new experience.

I highly recommend a trip with Capt Katie. She is keeping the spirit of Destin, the luckiest fishing village in the world, alive and well. You will not be disappointed.

Stellar Review for an Unforgettable Fish Charter Experience

Our recent fish charter experience with Captain Katie and her first mate, Nick, was nothing short of phenomenal! I took my 13 and 11-year-old boys shark fishing, and Captain Katie did not disappoint. We landed an impressive 9' tiger shark that gave us an exhilarating challenge and wore us out in the best way possible.

The excitement didn't stop there. Captain Katie expertly guided us to prime spots...

The excitement didn't stop there. Captain Katie expertly guided us to prime spots
where we caught mackerel, bonita, and snapper, keeping the adrenaline high and the action continuous.

We go charter fishing every year, and I can confidently say that this was the most enjoyable and memorable trip we've ever had. The crew's professionalism, expertise, and friendly demeanor made the entire experience exceptional. I highly recommend this crew for anyone looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure!
