Highly recommend this fishing charter!! Captain Mike and Thomas the first mate were very friendly and knowledgeable. Put us on fish from the get-go, and we really didn’t stop reeling them in until we were done. Lots of “almost” keepers, including 10-12 triggerfish that were about an inch too short. Great time!!

Also, Mike was very flexible with our scheduling, since weather was not great on our originally planned day. We will definitely choose My Chance for our next outing in the Destin area.

We had a phenomenal 1/2 Trip with Michael! Myself, my father and my 4 sons found Capt. Michael and the HIGHLINER from top notch reviews on Fishing Booker! His reviews were multiple and always 5 star! Every review I read was speaking highly of their experience with Michael. We really didn’t know where to turn for booking a reputable and top notch fishing charter in Destin to since we hadn’t been out fishing in Destin before. So happy we found My Chance Charters and Capt. Michael!
The day of our trip, Michael reached out early because the wind speed was fairly high (from a late storm the night before) and made the seas rough and difficult to spot fish. He was flexible and inquired if we wanted to chance it or was flexible in our plans in the event the wind didn’t slow down that day. We chose to reschedule our trip a day later and so glad we did. When talking with Capt Michael the next morning, he said his intuitions were correct and word from his fellow fishing charters were that fishing was extremely difficult that day where the wind was high. So happy he was upfront and honest with us about the weather and the potential for a lackluster experience due to the conditions. He was considerate of our experience and recommended we move to another day if our schedule allowed. So happy we did! The weather was perfect the next day and we landed some great fish as you can see. My father and sons absolutely raved about the experience we had with Capt Michael and the HIGHLINER! If we were to do it again, we would’ve booked a full 8 hour day because we were just getting started hooking fish. Our time went by fairly fast! The fish were just starting to turn on late morning but we had to head in. Overall, we had an absolute fantastic time and we will have this memory to cherish! Thanks Capt Michael for sharing it with us. When we come down again, we certainly will be booking you again…and for a FULL DAY!

Cheers from our Ohio & Texas based family!

I originally scheduled a 4hr Monday charter but Capt. Mike reached out and asked if we would be interested in a 6hr Saturday option that would give us a shot at the tail end of Red Snapper season.  I agreed to the change bump (due to the additional 2hrs) and the trip was phenomenal. The crew was very knowledgeable, a riot to chat with, always on it with baiting and managing catches.  If we weren’t pulling in fish, we’d move within minutes.

Only real issues were the boat’s virtually devoid of customer seating (there’s the main cooler, on top of equipment-housing areas, and that’s about it)…making the underway portions a bit uncomfortable and the diesel fumes could hit you pretty hard when fishing aft depending on the wind direction.  These were minor nuisances though; the overall experience was great!

The trip was great Captain Michael got us out on time and kept us on the fish all day. He worked to keep us in the fish by moving from location to location. Jan our first mate did a great job offering advice, keeping our rigs ready, and shared in our excitement when we hooked on big fish. We took an 8 hour trip, which I’d recommend. We were able to catch a cross section of fish, trigger, snapper, and even got into a nice pile of amber. Epic day on the water!

Captain Mike was such a great guide. He knew right where to go. We didn’t even have all 4 lines in the water before we started reeling them in. We were in contact with several other boats and they were not catching anything. Every fish we caught was take off the hook and put in the cooler by Mike. while we were out Captain Mike pointed out dolphins and sea turtles to us. After the trip all of our catch was cleaned and put in separate bags so that we knew what kind of fish we were going to eat and what was the best way to cook each fish.

Side note: The restaurant right behind the charter will cook your catch and give you a side and salad for $20.

I can NOT recommend them enough. You can’t go wrong With Captain Mike and My Chance Charters!!
