How much do Destin Harbor deep sea fishing charters cost?

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    What an unforgettable day on the water with Captain Cliff and Austin! From the moment we set out, it was clear that Captain Cliff knows these waters like the back of his hand. He took us straight to the best spots, where we caught an impressive mix of red snapper, vermillion snapper, trigger fish, amberjack, and even grouper. Austin was fantastic—he was right there to help us with baiting, teaching us the best techniques for casting and reeling in our catches, and making sure we were having a great time every step of the way. His patience and expertise made the experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a top-tier fishing experience, Captain Cliff and Austin are the team to book. Highly recommend, and I can't wait to go back!

    Trip: Combo - Reef/Trolling

  • ★★★★★
    We fished with Capt'n Blake on the 32 Sportsman. Blake was friendly, energetic and most of all, he was determined to put us on the fish. My 13 year old son and his friend were with us, and Blake was extremely attentive and helpful with the youth anglers. I would highly recommend Capt'n Blake, and Captain Experiences, and I would book this same exact trip again if given the opportunity. Tight lines!

    Trip: Destin Deep Sea Adventure

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Matt and his deckhand, Steve were very competent and professional. We had 8 lines out trolling for most of the 14 hour day. Steve even continued on with a good laceration on his hand from the first wahoo we caught. We landed two wahoos and didn’t get many more bites even though they had us constantly trolling with many lines in the water. Matt is a good fisherman and I’ve been out with many over the years. We would definitely recommend them as a competent pelagic fishing operation.
