Boating and Fishing Charters in Destin Florida

Destin has earned the title "World's Luckiest Fishing Village," and so it's no wonder it harbors the largest charter fishing fleet in Florida with over 200 boats.

An off-shore shelf dips straight from Destin's East Pass to 100-foot depths within 10 miles, making it internationally recognized as the quickest deep-water access on the Gulf of Mexico. Over 20 species of edible game fish are always in seasonal runs, one being the famous billfish. There are plenty of party and charter boats waiting to take you out for the fishing thrill of your lifetime!

Boaters and sailors of all abilities levels find area waters perfect for setting out in all varieties of boats. Hundred of miles of scenic Gulf waters, bays, bayous, inlet and lakes make exploring by boat a favorite pastime.

Choctawhatchee Bay extends about 30 miles from east to west, one of the largest inland bays in the country. Sailing enthusiasts from all over the world are attracted to its beautiful waters.

If you don't bring your own boat, crafts of all kinds are available for rent or charter. Everything from windsurfers to sunfish to pontoon boats and canoes can be rented by the hour or for extended times. Check out the fishing charters below for sport fishing adventure.
