About Your Trip

Launch aboard Captain Taylor's 40' Infinity sportfisher for a first-class Gulf Coast fishing experience out of Destin FL. With years of experience fishing the waters off the coast of Destin, Captain Taylor will put all of his knowledge toward getting you on the fish safely and in style!

After you meet up with Captain Taylor at the East Pass Marina, he'll crank up the engines, you will motor out a couple of miles offshore to do some trolling, deep-sea dropping, and fish catching! For single-day trips you can expect to hook into the likes of Wahoo, King Mackerel, Snapper, Sharks, Jack Crevelle, Mahi Mahi, Bonita, Amber Jack, Cobia and potentially Tarpon (when they're around in the summer months) just to name a few, and there are plenty more species the Gulf can offer up! You are welcome to get as involved as you would like with your adventure as well, whether you'd rather lounge until the reel starts screaming or if you want your hand on the rod the whole time, Captain Taylor can make it happen!

Beyond superior service and luxurious amenities, Captain Taylor also provides all the best rods, reels, tackle, bait, and fishing licenses you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water. Thus, all you need to bring are your favorite lunch, snacks, and drinks, your sun protection, maybe a towel, and your camera! Otherwise, Captain Taylor will take care of the rest to make the most of your Destin saltwater adventure!

About Your Guide

Taylor W.

Independent Guide 23 years of exp.

A Destin native, Captain Taylor has been on the water as far back as he can remember, and he started his career at only 13 years old. He describes fishing as his passion and has always known it’s what he wanted to spend his life doing. His favorite part of what he does is seeing kids catch fish, especially when it’s their first time!

Taylor’s favorite fishing destination is Isla Mujeres, Mexico, where he spent a winter sail fishing. Blue Marlin are his favorite species of fish to catch but it’s a toss-up between yellowfin tuna and fresh scamp for his favorite to eat.

Taylor is full of fishing stories, but one of his favorites is from a slow day fishing with his buddies. Just as they were about to call the day, they found a string of black turtles and then moved from turtle to turtle, catching cobia after cobia until they were forced to stop because they ran out of bait and jigs!
