Before you step aboard.

Not sure yet? Call (850) 555-0172. Someone at the dock office answers, often a captain between trips.

Each boat carries up to 6 anglers plus the captain and mate. Larger groups book several boats together.
No. Our boats carry a federal for-hire license that covers everyone aboard, kids included. Bring an ID if you want to keep reef fish — the mate logs the harvest.
It happens, rarely. If the whole boat gets skunked on a full day, we bring you back out for a half day on us. Inshore trips run a 94% hook-up rate, so the odds are strongly with you.
Thirty minutes before lines-off. Parking is free in the harbor lot, the dock office has coffee, and the mate uses the time to rig for your crew.
Kids are half the logbook. Little Anglers trips run calm inshore water with small rods, and life jackets come in every size down to infants.
If wind or lightning keeps us at the dock you can rebook any day you like or take a full refund. We never run an unsafe boat.
Sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and whatever you want to drink. Everything that catches fish — rods, tackle, live bait, ice — is on the boat. Motion-sickness medicine the night before if open water worries you.
Yes, for legal-size table fish. We clean, bag and ice it at the dock.
88 Marina Walk, Slip 14, Destin, FL 32541. Free parking in the harbor lot, then walk the dock to the orange SLIP 14 sign. The mate meets you at the gate.
Yes — three harbor restaurants cook your fillets same-day (blackened, fried or grilled). Ask the mate for the dock card; show it with your fish and the kitchen handles the rest.
Good for any trip, any season, for two years. We email a printable certificate the same day. Buy one in the gift shop and the recipient books by phone whenever they're ready.
Reschedule free up to 72 hours before departure. Inside 72 hours the deposit becomes dock credit. Captain-cancelled weather days always get a new date or a full refund — your choice.
