About Your Trip

If you happen to stay near Crestview, Fort Walton Beach, or Destin in the north of Florida and you want to see the famous Gulf of Mexico (America) or Choctawhatchee Bay. You’ll have an excellent chance to explore the near coastal waters of this first-class fishing destination and enjoy gorgeous nature. Captain Chris will give you all the help he can so you make memories on the water and get back with some fine catch. Captain Chris has been fishing these waters from childhood. He has 35+ years of experience. Book today and have fun fishing!

The boat you’ll be using is a 27’ Key West center console powered by twin 200 HP Yamaha engine. It’s equipped with GPS and a fishfinder for efficient navigation, a wireless trolling motor so you fish more discreetly, and a livewell to provide you with live bait. Up to 6 anglers can come aboard.

Using both light and heavy tackle, you can catch fish by bottom fishing, deep sea fishing, spinning, jigging, trolling and popping. The species you can encounter on your trip include Red Snapper, Amberjack, King Mackerel, Cobia, Mahi-mahi, Vermillion, Porgy, Scamp Grouper, Gag Grouper, Spanish Mackerel, Spotted Seatrout, Gray Triggerfish, and Redfish SheepHead. You get to keep all the fish you catch and you’re welcome to bring kids on your trip.

Captain Chris will take care of the fishing tackle, live bait, lures, as well as licenses. If you want him to, he can also clean and fillet your catch so it’s ready for cooking as soon as you return home. Bring nothing but the snacks and drinks of your choice.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass.

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. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
