Reviews of Destin Party Boat Fishing Excursion Aboard Vera Marie

The crew on the Vera Marie was awesome. It was my daughters first time fishing and they helped her throughout the whole process until she was able to fish on her own. It was an amazing experience for us all. We caught many fish and the crew even filleted the fish we caught so we were able to take them to a restaurant and they cooked them for us same day. I cannot say enough good things about the crew. They made the whole experience worth every penny!

We had a great time! This is our first fishing trip. All the staff are very helpful, professional and caring. They made sure that you will have a wonderful fishing experience. Even we got seasick, we still got 8 fish. All other people did got tons tons of fish though! Highly recommended this fishing charter! Thank you all for your hard work! We will be back.

Great crew!!! Great trip, helpful to the experienced and novice fisherman! Accompanied by dolphins, we sailed into the sunny Gulf of Mexico for what our group called a "lifetime experience". HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

The Vera Marie was our first deep sea fishing trip. My son and I really enjoyed the trip. The Captain and crew were excellent!!!

Was probably a difficult day for captain weather prevented going out too far. Seemed boat moved too much when some were still catching fish. Loud music played continually could not hear captain.

I have been on about 15 trips over the past 20 years and this was the worst. We were scheduled to go out for 6hrs on a morning trip. They rescheduled us for an afternoon trip. We were suppose to leave at 1 but we didn't leave till 130 because a bilge pump didn't work and they had to pump out the bilge manually before we could leave. The kid who was our captain had to ask his mother or boss if we could start boarding and she said not until the crew was ready. I knew then he was new and not the one in charge. The boat was packed. Out of the six hours we fished for maybe two. The captain must have been tired from the morning cruse. We never fished at one spot more than 10 minutes. When we did move, the captain would go to a new spot and try 3 or 4 times to get over the spot. He did this several times. We would get ready to drop our lines and then he would decide to go somewhere else. There where three in my party and we caught five fish. We kept two. Mine was 9 inches and my daughter's was 15 inches. By the way she caught the biggest fish. Nobody was satisfied that I know of and I had one tell be he would never come back again. I strongly agree. I have never written a comment before but felt I had to now so people don't waste their money. If they are going to stay in business, they need to get a captain that knows his business. We came to fish and not to just ride on a boat.

Crew was fantastic, and made sure everyone was taken care of. My son and I had memorable and successful trip.

Been on many deep sea fishing boats and this one was one of the better ones. Captain said upfront it was rough, and he’d get us to the good spots the best he could. Five of us caught three fish out of five we could keep. Everyone had fun, and the crew were great!

It was fun. The free was helpful and pleasant but I did not catch a single fish. There had to be better reefs available

Booking was easy. Regular text status updates. Crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.
