TESTIMONIALS

What others are saying

"By far the best time and money spent at Destin."

This is our first charter fishing trip with kids and you can’t ask for a better experience than this. Captain Jason and his son took care of us from the start to finish. Mother Nature cooperated as well. We definitely will be back and set up another fishing trip with Captain Jason very soon. -Scott L. Sugar Hill, GA

"What a great 3 days fishing"

What a great 3 days fishing with Captain Jason and his son, Elijah!! My dad (67) and my sons (14, 12, 9, 7) had a blast fishing for King Mackerel, Mengo Snapper, Trigger fish, Bonito, and more. Captain Jason and Elijah were great teachers with my boys who had never fished in the ocean. Answering their endless questions. Captain Jason and Elijah are passionate about their jobs and serve with joy. Outside of all of this, we caught a TON of fish!! Next time we are back in Fort Walton, we will do it again! - Jonathan T. Russelville, KY

"..had a fantastic time fishing"

My family and I had a fantastic time fishing with Jason Yates and his son today! The Captain was very communicative leading up to the trip and was right on time. The boat was spacious enough for the six of us and the crew.. We limited out on Bonito in which Jason carefully filleted and sent home with us. My 8 year old son had lots of questions, and Jason was very kind and made him feel at home. My son said “It was the best day of his life” which is what I was going for. Thanks, Jason! - Scott G. Burleson, TX

Our Charter Trips - Explained

Private Charter

On a private charter, your group (up to 6 people) are the only ones on the boat (of course with a Captain and Mate).

Group Charter

On group charters, you share the boat (and expense) with everyone. These are ideal if you want to fish and don't have a group to go with.

Dolphin Trip

Want to just go for a boat ride and see the dolphins and wildlife? This relaxing trip is for you!

Kids Trip

Looking to take the little ones on a saltwater fishing experience? Our 3 hour kids trip allows you to catch and release multiple different species.

Refund/Cancellation Policy - All bookings require a 20% deposit to confirm the trip. The remaining 80% can be paid in person at the dock to the Captain upon arrival. Cancellations more than 7 days prior to the trip will be refunded in full. Cancellations less than 7 days prior to the confirmed trip date will forfeit your deposit at the discretion of Time Off Charters.
