About Your Guide

Eric T.

Certified Damn Good Guide

Outfitter

Captain Eric has been captaining fishing charters out of Destin FL his whole life. He has held a Captain's license for the past 35 years and has put that puppy to good use every year he's held it. With all those years under his belt, Eric knows what it takes to run a quality fishing adventure. On each and every trip he takes out, his goal is to make his clients happy. For Eric, it's not just putting fish in the boat at all costs, its making sure his clients are having fun putting fish in the boat!

He recently partnered up with his son Zach who runs a similar 38' Hatteras to offer the same great trips but offer more availability. This Family run business is the talk of the town!

We had a great time on Captain Eric's Game On fishing boat! The quick trip was an excellent choice for the price, and the catch was plentiful. We had several first time deep sea fishers with us and they had a blast.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
