Bottom fishing with rod and reel.

On 5 and 6-hour trips, the boat goes about 20 miles offshore. On 8-hour trips or more, the boat goes anywhere from 20 to 30 miles offshore depending on where the fish are biting.

It takes up to an hour and a half to get to first fishing spot. We are one of the fastest party boats in Destin Harbor, if not the fastest.

Yes! You keep what you catch as long as it’s in season and the legal size. When you get back to the dock, your mates will hang your fish for a picture. For 50 cents a pound, we will clean and bag your fish.
