Step 1: Talk to Locals

Locals will give you the honest truth about the captains and charters in the area. Don’t just ask your hotel’s concierge…talk to other families who’ve had similar experiences and read up on online message boards before your trip, too.

Step 2: Check out the Boat

Before you book your charter, you should do your best to check out the boat in person. Afterall, you’ll be spending hours and hours on it! Check out the interior of the charter boat, the fishing gear, and talk to the crew about their experience, too.

What to Know About Your Destin Fishing Trip

You can pick the length of your fishing trip to fit your preferences. You can choose trips as short as four or five hours or select a day trip for eight to eighteen hours in length. There are also overnight trips available for avid fishermen lasting between twenty-four to forty-eight hours.

Bait, ice, tackle, licenses, and fishing equipment: Everything you need to fish will be provided for you on most deep sea charters. Don’t forget to bring along food and sunscreen, though! The Gulf of Mexico is a beautiful place to vacation and will provide entertainment for the whole family in one way or another, but charter fishing will create amazing memories unique to your Destin vacation.

Playing in the sand is nice but being fishing on the deep sea is an experience of a lifetime!
