Destin Deep Sea Fishing Charters

I was not happy that I was directed to your site when I put the swoop party boat in my search. I was going with a group of 11 friends and paid the highest price out of all of them. I will never make that mistake again and neither will any of my friends.

Enjoyed experience. Deck hands were kind and helpful. Captain made sure we found fish.

The crew was over the top with helping everyone on the boat. They made the experience very memorable! Would definitely recommend!

the deckhands were great. the dolphins were pretty busy stealing our fish but we still had a good time.

Staff very helpful and friendly. Had a wonderful time. We were able to take our catch to a nearby restaurant and have it cooked for dinner. Perfect for a first time fishing experience.

It was great and the crew of the tropical winds did a good job

It was great. Captain Bill and first mate Kirk we're knowledgeable and helped us every step of the way. Captain caught us a mahi mahi. All around great trip and we'd book with them again.

Captain Bill and deckhand Curt was simply amazing. We took an 8 hour trip and went out about 30 miles out. We caught Mingos, Black Snapper, white snapper. We did catch some Red Snapper and Trigger fish but these were not in season so we had a some catch and release going on as well. We even reeled in a BULL Shark. It took several people reeling him in, he made it up to the boat, but got loose as he approached the back of the boat.A Big Thank you to Captain Bill and Deckhand Curt for making our fishing experience simply wonderful! I will be fishing with this captain again for sure!!! and also a BIG Thank you to Tripshock for booking me this charter and making it all happen!

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.

My family really enjoyed shark fishing with captain Zach.

We had a blast. Captain Zack was awesome. He put us on fish all day. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks for the memories.

We had a blast! My husband caught a shark and we caught a few red snappers! The captain was super nice very! I would recommend these guys to anyone looking to do some deep sea fishing in Florida

Great trip!! Left it to the Captain to catch fish and he did it. We caught fish trolling and bottom fishing. Jacob was great on the how to and keep up with all we needed. We recommend highly for a great experience!!

Captain Jason and Barney were very friendly and outgoing. We had a wonderful trip until my son and his friends became sea sick. We headed in early. I will definitely go out with The Great Escape again. I highly recommend them. Even though we came in early we brought in the biggest haul of the morning. Barney and Jason worked well together. Barney was quick and very helpful with baiting and removing the fish from our lines. Thanks for helping my family make great memories.

The guys made sure

we didn't catch any fish because we weren't out on the water very long. my youngest son started to panic so we had to cut the trip short. we did get the chance to see dolpins swim by us so that was a plus. the older kids lived it. overall we had a good time laughing and being out on the water for the first time. our captain and his crew man was awesome. we felt welcomed. We will definetly do it again with them.

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!!

The captain really tried to get us more fish but day was a miss. Other boats had much larger catches in same time period. Left with enough fish for dinner but not enough to really be satisfied.

Booked the shark trip. Captain Zach had no issues putting us on some huge sharks. Took 3 tries but we finally got a 7ft Sandbar shark to the boat. It was massive. Blew the kids mind. Buckle up they at super strong. 30-45 min fight.

Charter was ready to go on time, Capt Zach was personable, knowledgeable, and kept my family engaged. We trolled, with nominal results, then progressed to bait fishing. He put us on fish, when they stopped biting he moved to other proven spots. We didn't land any whales, but had a lot of action and a great time.

Our church Men's Group has just completed our 7th yearly fishing trip with the Ms. Nautica. As always Capt. Jimmy and crew produced a great day for our...

Miss Nautical delivered a great day of fishing. We trolled out and caught 4 tuna then stopped and dropped to catch red and vermillion snapper, porgy, and...

Had a great time. Caught plenty of fish. Thanks guys#
