Experience matters ! Capt. Troy put us on fish at an early season date with cold water temps. His mate Dakota was knowledgeable and personable. My wife said she can't wait to come back, that say's it all !

We have used 5 different charters in Destin. Captain Si was by far the best. Use Nelson Charters. I won’t use anyone else from now on.

Go out fishing with an open mind. Day to day the fishing changes. Weather is a big/huge factor. Be patient with your Captain. They are doing their best with what the day brings. You might catch fish non stop for your trip, or get only a couple. It's fishing. And be polite. May God bless your fishing adventures.

Go for it, the area offers a lot of great offer of fishing. It won’t disappoint. The only reason I did not write this 5 stars was because I’ve had better days fishing in Clearwater where I larger fish

I'd recommend using King of Kings as he was great with myself and 5 high school seniors (4 of which had never done offshore fishing). They had a blast!

Definitely consider the type of species you aim to catch. Bigger fish require bigger/deeper water. This of course turns into longer boat rides to the necessary habitat. The time in travel can eat into the scheduled time for your trip. If bringing smaller children, you'll be able to get into feisty smaller fish for sure much sooner. They'll have a fantastic time getting into fish much sooner in the trip and have a very memorable time.

Not as good of fishing in March as it is in June when snapper and other fish are open for catching but still fun to reel in a lot of fish! Mingo is a good eater as is Trigger.

Recommend a boat with a cabin to chill in as the weather is cool. Fishing is great if your captain gets you to them and you are dressed for the weather.

Trust the captain, and enjoy the ride. We caught a great amount of fish, it just took a couple spots to find them (as with any fishing)

The weather did not make it a very warm or comfy trip, but the fish were still biting! Dress in warm layers and you’ll be fine.

Captain James was very knowledgeable and professional. He took us to several different spots to fish and didn’t waste anytime if the fish weren’t biting. He did everything in his power to make sure we took fish home, and we did!

Captain Si was funny, and did the best he could to get us catching fish! Just being in the ocean and seeing the dolphins and tuna and everything else was wonderful! I skunked the boys this trip with my 6 red snappers!!

We had a great time with Si. He was fun, informative, and very knowledgeable. We caught many fish but none which were in season. However, we did get one keeper and a 8-10 lb King Mackerel. Your tip on how to cook it was great and the tacos we made from them were amazing. It was a great time experience for my first fishing trip. - Alex, Tracie, and Eric

I recommend Chris for a great day on the water. Chris had my two sons a friend and I on fish all day. Caught fresh baitfish and went out 35-40 miles for opening day of Amberjack. Caught grouper, red snapper and triggerfish also. One of the best fishing trips we have ever been on! Thanks again Chris!

We went out on a very rough day. None of the 7 of us had ever done a deeper fishing trip and the guys were great. Kept us moving on fish and we caught a lot. They were very hard working and easy to talk with. Couldn’t recommend it more.
