Catch and Cruise Adventures invites you to experience the best of Fort Walton Beach / Destin Florida fishing with a team that knows these waters inside and out. Based in Fort Walton Beach, FL, this charter is all about combining local knowledge, reliable gear, and memorable moments on the water. Whether you're looking to hook dinner or just spend the day chasing big fish, Captains Dave and Jeff are ready to take you out for an unforgettable trip.
The emerald waters are full of life year-round. Depending on the season, you can target Gag and Black Grouper, Mangrove and Vermilion Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Black Seabass, Cobia, and more. If you’re after something a bit bigger, this is also shark territory—Blacktip, Bull, Lemon, and even Tiger Sharks cruise these depths. And when the conditions are right, the blue water offshore opens up the chance to chase Mahi, Tuna, Marlin, and Swordfish. There’s no shortage of action, and your captains will help you choose the right techniques for the conditions—trolling or bottom fishing with light or heavy tackle.
You’ll head out on a spacious 48' offshore sportfishing boat that can comfortably take up to 6 guests. It’s outfitted with outriggers and all the essentials to handle nearshore and offshore fishing alike. There’s a clean onboard toilet, shaded seating, and enough room for everyone to fish without feeling crowded. All rods, reels, and lures are provided, so you won’t need to worry about packing gear. No fishing license is required—just show up ready to fish.
Your comfort is a priority. The captain recommends bringing a hat, polarized sunglasses, sunscreen (no spray, please), and any personal medications you may need. While water is provided on board, you’re welcome to bring additional drinks and snacks. Beer is allowed in moderation—just skip the glass bottles for safety.
From laid-back days with the family to focused offshore hunts, Catch and Cruise Adventures is all about giving you a smooth and productive day on the water. Not sure what’s biting or what to expect? Ask your captain—they’re happy to help. Whether it’s your first time fishing or you’re a seasoned angler, they’ll tailor the trip to your goals and experience level.

Stop searching and book with Captain Dave—seriously, you won’t regret it! From start to finish, this trip was everything we hoped for and more. Communication before the trip was timely, clear, and consistent, which made planning super easy and stress-free. The boat itself was spotless and well-equipped with everything we needed. You can tell these guys take pride in what they do. Captain Dave, along with Dwayne and Joey, were absolute pros—knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about making sure everyone on board was having a great time. And yes, we caught fish! Plenty of them! The weather was perfect, which only made the whole experience even better. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer, this crew will make sure you have a blast. Can’t recommend them enough. I’d definitely book with them again!
