Ratings & Reviews Summary
July 3, 2025
Our party of seven embarked on a five-hour excursion with Captain Stan and Isaiah during Spring Break. It was a fantastic day of fishing, yielding an abundance of snapper, triggerfish, and even a sizable amberjack. The boat was spacious, well-maintained, and fully equipped both on deck and inside. Stan and Isaiah were excellent with our children, making the experience enjoyable for everyone. We enthusiastically endorse booking this charter!
July 3, 2025
From beginning to end, the captain and first mate excelled in their roles. We reached our catch limit so swiftly that we had the opportunity to pursue larger fish. We highly recommend this boat and crew, and we definitely plan to return.
July 3, 2025
Our trip was fantastic. When inclement weather loomed over our original date, Captain Stan accommodated our schedule change seamlessly. We had an excellent outing and landed plenty of fish. Deckhand Justin provided exceptional assistance, ensuring everyone used the right techniques to optimize our catch. We will certainly utilize their services again when visiting Destin.
July 3, 2025
Captain Stan and his crew were exceptional. They expertly managed our sizable group of 14, collaborating with us to devise an optimal schedule. We were swiftly directed to productive fishing spots, experiencing minimal downtime as lines were promptly re-baited. Their diligence was matched by a relaxed and accommodating demeanor. I wholeheartedly endorse their services.
July 3, 2025
We had an amazing experience aboard the Destination! Captain Stan consistently led us to the fish, and Justin and Carston provided exceptional guidance and assistance to our group of 14. Highly recommended!
July 3, 2025
Our family of nine had an incredible experience with Captain Stan and Justin! The outing began with an enjoyable session of jigging for bait, setting the stage for what was to come. We wasted no time in hooking fish, and Justin, the first mate, efficiently handled everything from fish to rigs, even sharing species names—a detail appreciated by this self-proclaimed fish enthusiast. After a successful stint with baitfish, we eagerly transitioned to heavier tackle, reaping rewards swiftly. Thanks to Captain Stan's strategic planning and keen fish-spotting abilities, we hit our red snapper limit in no time. Once again, Justin's prompt assistance and insightful tips were invaluable, especially for our less seasoned anglers. On our return journey to Destin, as we savored the boat ride, Justin maintained the vessel's cleanliness, tirelessly working and even treating us to a sample of freshly cooked fish! Wrapping up the trip with a couple of shark encounters added an extra thrill. Despite our previous fishing experiences in Destin, none compared to the exceptional service provided by these two. It's safe to say they've gained some loyal customers!
