The Amberjack, in particular, is a fish that is challenging to find and catch. Certain charter boats have good “luck” season after season, helping charter guests reel in huge Amberjacks time and again. Turns out, it’s not luck after all. The right captain and charter boat crew can mean all the difference in fining a trophy Amberjack and coming home empty handed which is why it’s important to choose your charter boat carefully. There are plenty of “bargain” fishing tours in Destin…don’t be fooled!

Taking a successful Amberjack trip can leave you with memories that will carry you for years to come. Since the fish swim so deeply you’ll typically want to book a half- or whole-day charter to ensure you get out in the open ocean where these beasts like to roam.

Worst case scenario? You spend a beautiful day on the open ocean with the wind in your hair and your friends and family by your side.

Best case scenario? You come home with a prize-winning story about the Amberjack of a lifetime.
