And you’ll hook plenty of big fish, that’s for sure! Depending on your trip, you could be fishing local reefs or the very depths of the Gulf of Mexico. On longer charters, you can target monster pelagics like Blue Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, and Wahoo. Even on shorter trips, there’s plenty of action, with big reef species like Snapper, Grouper, and Amberjack.

The crew of Emerald Coast Charters embraces every sea-dwelling species to make sure you and your family have a “full Destin experience.” Capt. Brandy will show you her tricks of the trade to land anything that is in season and biting, including Amberjack, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Red Snapper, Grouper, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, Bonito, and Shark to name a few.

Capt. Reid can take you fishing for a variety of inshore and offshore species, as well as bottom-dwelling reef fish such as Red Snapper, Mingo, and White Snapper. There is also Gag, Black, and Goliath Grouper, Amberjack, Jack Crevalle, Cobia, and King Mackerel. If you decide to go offshore, you can target massive Sailfish, Marlin, Tuna, Wahoo, and Mahi Mahi.

Championship Offshore specializes in offshore and deep sea fishing for both bottom fish and pelagic species. On shorter trips, you will be fishing 20-30 miles out for Snappers, Groupers, Triggerfish, and pelagics like King Mackerel and even Sailfish.
