About Your Trip

If you're looking for the perfect blend of excitement and relaxation, Captain Joey's Fun and Fish Combo trip out of Fort Walton Beach is the way to go! This 4–5 hour adventure packs a punch with some solid fishing followed by a laid-back cruise that lets you soak up the best sights around Destin.

Your trip kicks off with a few hours of inshore fishing, where you’ll target a variety of species like Redfish, Speckled Trout, Mangrove Snapper, and the always energetic Jack Crevalle. Whether you're sight casting across the flats, throwing topwater baits, or fishing live bait near the jetties, there’s no shortage of action. You might also reel in Black Drum, Ladyfish, Spanish Mackerel, or Bluefish—so be ready for anything!

Once the rods are down, it’s time to switch gears and cruise through the Destin Harbor, soaking in the scenery and coastal charm that make this area famous. With the wind in your hair and plenty of photo ops, this part of the trip is all about kicking back and enjoying the ride.

You’ll be fishing aboard Captain Joey’s 22’ Blue Wave center console powered by a 200 HP Suzuki engine. Outfitted with GPS, a trolling motor, and a FishFinder, this boat is perfectly built for both fishing and exploring. It comfortably fits up to six guests for a fun-filled day on the water.

All tackle, bait, and licenses are included—just bring your crew, your favorite snacks and drinks, and let Captain Joey handle the rest!

She took great care of us, she was very patient with our kids (12&13), and helped us every step of the way. My wife and kids have never bow fished. I haven’t done so in 25+ years. So she basically had a boat full of newbies. We caught several! We missed several more! It was a lot of action and we enjoyed being out there at night for a change. Then my daughter caught the fish of the night! A very nice ray. My son had to shoot back up to make sure we landed it, so that made it even cooler. We would definitely take this trip again. If you get to go with Mindy that’ll be a bonus!

We had a great time! I didn’t know rays were so resilient that you could get them with an arrow and the would heal within a few days.

Our guide Colby was awesome. He found a bunch of rays for us and helped us after each catch. Hew was awesome!

If you don’t book with Jayson you shouldn’t even come to Destin. You might as well cancel your entire trip if you don’t book with Jayson. I’d rather spend 4 hours fishing with Jayson than 7 days at the beach because I’d spend those 7 days seeing Jayson crash through the waves catching fish as big as a small child. If it ain’t Jay-son I ain’t gonna pay-son!

The captain was very rude to us the entire trip. He asked my son to help with a shark fishing rod and a small backlash occurred. When he saw the backlash he flipped out and said you just damaged $50 worth of monofilament line and made a big deal out of it instead of just fixing it which only took minutes. When he was asked questions he was very short with answers. He was also reluctant to rig up other rods with bait to help pass the time while we waited for a shark bite. He quite oftentimes made us feel like we we're constantly in his way. Being a smaller boat there weren't too many places to stand. To top it off he couldn't find any fish and wanted to use our charter time to catch baitfish to use on a future charter. What a waste of time. Save your money and find a real professional.
