Destin Deep Sea Fishing Charters

Exhilarating experience, but Disappointing, as I didn't catch any fish.

My son and I had the greatest time fishing. We got to make memories and check off charter fishing on our bucket list. Darren was a great a help and my son and I made a friend for life. We will definitely be returning next time we visit Florida. We caught total of 30 fish with 13 keepers in 4 hours.

Captain Steve did ALL he could to put us on some fish-but the ocean just wasn’t cooperating. It was a bit TOO rough today. We definitely will use Captain Olin Marler’s Charters in the future. Thanks Capt. Steve

Captain Steve was excellent with our two Grandsons. They learned while having a great time. It was Joes 60th birthday and all six of us felt right at home!

We had a wonderful time and everyone enjoyed themselves. Our guide was very nice and funny

Captain Steve with Reel Deal Charters did an awesome job! He was great with my 9 and 13 year old kids and got us on the fish! I will definitely charter with Captain Steve next time I am in town. Thanks again for a great trip!!!

I caught over 10 fishes! While we were fishing we saw many dolphins! The Weather was great! The staff name sean is the best helper! Fast and best! I will go back again!

We had a party of 6 and we had a great time. The crew was very attentive and answered all of our questions. They helped us to have a great experience for our first time deep sea fishing.

Crew was great especially Jeff!

The crew went out of their way to make a great experience for our group of 17. They were more than accommodating for our different needs. Fishing started out slow but they kept searching until we found the magic spots where deep sea fishing goes from nauseating to exhilarating. Thank you for your hard work!

Family and I had a wonderful experience with Steve and the crew on the Vera Marie. Everyone was super helpful and very attentive.

Had a great time. Crew was polite and attentive. Caught a bunch! Even had video games for the to keep the kids busy while going out and in.

For starters, I own a 33 foot boat. I've captained large parties before. So I know a bit about this. I've also been on many deep sea fishing excursions. Our Captain was terrible. He didn't once say a word to us. He didn't introduce himself, didn't point out where the life jackets where, didn't even so much as look at us. And his deck hand was 17 years old and super green. Every once in a while, the Captain duck out of the bridge to yell at his helper about the rigs not being set correctly. To be fair, it was pouring rain and we had 10 foot swells to deal with. A major storm had been in place for about 12 hours. But the simple fact is that the Captain should have called off the trip. It was me and my three boys...ages 11, 9, and 7. We had no business being out there...and the Captain knew it. And judging by his older appearance, he knew there was no chance we'd catch a thing...which happened to be the case. We got tossed around for 2.5 hours...and I had to call it early because it was too dangerous with the rain, wind and swells. We got two bites the entire time and my boys didn't once even touch a fishing rod. $750...and didn't touch a rod on a fishing trip...what a colossal let down. It was a total joke and complete waste of $750. I will be sure to tell everyone one I know about this experience, the captain, and tripshock.

Been coming to this area the last 6 years and doing fishing trips. They were fair to awful. We hit the jackpot this year w Sweet William Boat Charters. Crew was excellent, helpful and knew where to go to get the fish. Caught several fish including a 50 lb Cobia. Will definately come back to Sweet William!!

Was good fishing. Only problem was the fish were small but plenty. We were told small hooks worked best and it did for small fish. I am not a fish expert but was left wondering if bigger hooks and bait might of landed us a bigger fish. All in all satisfied.

We had a good experience on this trip. We caught triggerfish, red snapper, mingo snapper, grouper, amberjack, amicojack, porgy and others. The tackle was a little tough to use and was not for someone who was not in pretty good shape and strength. I wouldn’t recommend a 6 hr. trip - we only fished about 3 1/2 hours total due to travel. An 8 hour day would have been better. John was great making sure we had everything we needed and steering us onto how to catch more fish.

Crew Excellent. Accommodations Great.

We went out 2 days before hurricane Michael, 6-8 foot seas. It was questionable when we left. Everyone onboard caught fish. It was a trip I will never forget! Excellent captain and crew!

we had lots of fun! we did really want to fish for different kinds of fish. we werent really looking for fish to eat but to try and catch like a cool fish like a shark or something! but we still had a blast would definitely come and do it again! thank yall so much!

Zach was amazing he helped all of us everytime when being needed, we got to catch some really good fishes. Great experience will recommend this crew to anyone!

I spent a lot of time researching boats and companies until I found one that had great reviews in our budget! I read the information on the listings like 12 times, checked facebook to see what's been catching and called Tripshock to ask additional questions. I did my homework so that I knew what I was getting into, I'm a researcher. I like knowing stuff. Even though I have experience fishing in my hometown, I didn't come in with a ton of expectations. Every place you fish and visit is different. The fishing down by the Keys is NOT the same as Destin. Our group is super laid back anyway so it always makes for an easy trip. I have to say, we had the best day on the water! Catching bait was fun, trolling was even better and the deep sea fishing was amazing! Caught our limit on dang near everything! Weather was iffy but it didn't matter bc the fish don't know when it's raining! Thank you to the captain for taking care of us! Our 8 hr trip was worth every penny!!!

We had a great trip with our captain! The weather could have been warmer, but the fishing trip was great fun! Thanks again!

We took the 11:30 trip and Jordan put us on the fish, we limited out on red snapper plus a few mackerel, there were no other boats around, musta been one of his secret spots!! We'll be back

Our family of 5 (including 3 teenagers) had a blast. Captain Jordan was great, very knowledgeable, and if the fish weren’t biting quickly, had us at the next spot where they were. He loves what he does, and it shows. We will definitely be back, and he’ll be our go-to.

My wife and I booked a fishing charter with Jason and Jacob. Super guys! They threw everything at them and did their best to give us a good trip. Thanks guys. See you again in July!

We had a great trip with Zach! He was knowledgeable and thorough. Very friendly and personable. For a smaller boat we felt comfortable and enjoyed the ride. The fishing was great and it seemed Zach knew exactly where to go to find the fish. I would definitely recommend this captain and boat.

Captain was amazing and has great helper! We caught fish immediately!!

Zach did a great job. Very informative without talking too much.
