Our charter boat was awesome we caught over 200 fish. My boys are 14 and 11 and Wes our deck hand was absolutely the best! He worked his tail off and made sure everyone was having a good time non stop. All 3 fishing spots we stopped at would get a bite as soon as our line hit hit bottom.
If you are looking for a no frills great fishing and help that goes above and beyond his duties. I highly recommend this boat.

The boat had over 60 people on it. We went out over 15 miles off shore. Everyone got their lines tangled. We caught fish when we first stopped and then the other stops were a waste of time. Should have stayed where we were. So many people fishing that deck hands couldn't help everyone and we untangled our own lines and took off our own fish. I have fished Destin before and only went out a half mile and caught more fish, larger fish, and in a third of the time. Waste of a beautiful day, time and money for me. Boat was nice and so were the people.

We went on the party boat 7 hr trip it was supposed to leave at 8 am. The boat was 21/2 hours late leaving. In 7 hrs 70 people caught 3 fish that could be kept. The food on the boat was incredibly over priced. We had planned on being back by 3 but didn't get back till after 5. They gave us the hours but it was overall a frustrating and disappointing experience. We had to pay over 300 after expected gratuity to be on the boat. On the positive side the captain and crew were awesome they really tried hard to find a good fishing spot and they were right there ready to help with any instruction needed. I do not intend on going out on a fishing trip like that ever again.

We took 8 people out for 6 to go parasailing. They had a blast... The guys were great and the people dockside were wonderful too! I can't say enough nice things about how wonderful they were. They took pictures and they turned out wonderful.

Me and my son did the 3 hour snorkeling excursion. It was just ok. They docked on a small beech area where there was small fish we could see. Others we spoke too that did another snorkeling excursion got to see large fish, sting rays and other sea life. We stayed out too long and it was little boring. 90% of the people wee back on the boat waiting to leave 45minutes before we actually left. I wouldn't take this excursion again.
