Destin Offshore Adventure: Trolling, Bottom & Live Bait Fishing

Hot bite and happy crew! I took Dayton out for a 6-hour offshore adventure with Have Fun Charter's this summer.

Our typical charter boat was booked so I made a post on FB looking for a charter. Within 15 minutes, Brooke responded and we set up a time to go. They were waiting on us with a smile when we arrived and helped us load our gear. Within 20 minutes we had fish in the boat. Captain Robert and his first mate Daniel worked their tails off to put us on fish, make sure we had bait and taught us different techniques to catch the most fish. We did a 6 hour evening charter that resulted in over 30 fish in the boat, 7 dolphin encounters and a beautiful sunset ride back to the bay. I will definitely be going out with them again next year. If you are looking for an inshore trip give them a call. Brooke and Robert’s southern hospitality make the trip even better!

August 15, 2025

You can’t not have fun on the water with Captain Robert and Brooke. 3 hour tour with kids was great and we all caught lots of fish. Two fins up!

August 15, 2025

My AC repair guys did such a great job for us we booked them a trip with Capt. RL who we have known for over 15 years. They had a blast bottom fishing, catching something on almost every drop! They caught red snapper, triggerfish, mingo snapper and more. Highly recommend this company to anyone who want to have fun with a captain who has been fishing these waters his whole life. Nice work Captain. Can’t wait to go catch em up again.

August 15, 2025

Capt Robert is A + , great fishing today. Brooke answers calls and texts immediately. Highly recommend

August 15, 2025

We had a great time with Captain Robert Lee & Brooke. They took care of everything for us which made for a very enjoyable trip and to top that off we brought home plenty of fish. We will be going back.

August 15, 2025

My kids and I had an amazing time yesterday fishing with Captain Robert Lee! He knew exactly where to put us on the fish, and he was very attentive the entire trip. He kept our hooks baited, and assisted us with lots of patience and always smiling. We were out for 4 hours fishing, and he even stopped on the way in to let us take a refreshing dip in the beautiful water at Crab Island. We will definitely go back out with Have Fun Charters the next time we're in Destin. Oh, and Brooke was super friendly, and 💯 on top of keeping in touch prior to the trip, making sure we knew everything we needed to bring and where to go. Thank y'all so much!
