Charter Fishing

Recreation
Destin has been known for decades as the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village" because its position on the Gulf of Mexico places it closest to the 100-Fathom Curve. Here, the sea shelf drops abruptly to depths as low as 600 feet where deep-sea species like red snapper, grouper, amberjack, king mackerel, sailfish and blue marlin can be found. So, whether you're an avid angler or still have questions about how to bait a hook, our experienced guides are here to ensure a stress-free, memorable experience. Your charter will supply the rod and reel, cold storage for the fish and your fishing license. They'll even clean your catch for you! From there, you can have one of the local participating "You catch it, we'll cook it" restaurants prepare it for you or you can have it packaged, frozen and sent home.
