CATCH AND CRUISE ADVENTURES – FAQs
Destin Fishing Charter

WHAT SHOULD I BRING ON MY TRIP?

We provide all the fishing essentials, including rods, reels, bait, tackle, and fishing licenses. To make your trip more comfortable, we recommend bringing:

  • Sunglasses and a hat
     

  • Reef-safe sunscreen (non-spray preferred)
     

  • Comfortable shoes
     

  • Snacks and drinks (beer allowed in moderation, no glass containers)
     

  • Any personal medications you may need
     

Water is provided on board. If you’re booking a longer trip, we suggest bringing meals or substantial snacks.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT ON THE DAY OF MY CHARTER?

Your trip will begin at our departure point in Fort Walton Beach, just minutes from Destin. After a safety briefing, we’ll head out into the Gulf to fish or cruise, depending on the adventure you’ve booked. Expect a mix of bottom fishing and trolling, customized to the conditions and your goals. Along the way, you might spot dolphins, seabirds, and of course, the stunning Emerald Coast views. Our crew is hands-on and ready to assist you every step of the way.

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHARTER?

It depends on your group and goals:

  • 4–6 hour trips – Great for families, beginners, or those wanting a fun, action-packed day without being on the water all day.
     

  • 8–10 hour trips – Perfect for more serious anglers or families looking for the full Gulf experience with more fishing time and variety.
     

  • 24–48 hour trips – Built for hardcore anglers chasing swordfish, tuna, marlin, and trophy catches far offshore.
     

  • Sightseeing cruises – Relaxing 4-hour excursions with no fishing, perfect for couples, families, and groups who just want to soak up Destin’s beauty.
