Nearshore
Nearshore Gulf fishing trips give you the excitement of bottom fishing and trolling without traveling far offshore. While these trips are not considered traditional deep-sea fishing, they still offer opportunities to reel in popular species such as Red Snapper, King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Black Snapper, White Snapper, Triggerfish and Vermilion Snapper.
Family Trips
Perfect for families looking for more than just a fishing trip, our Kids & Family Fishing Trips combine fishing, sightseeing and time to relax on the water. Spend part of the day reeling in fish and spotting dolphins around the Fort Walton Beach and Destin bays before heading to local islands and shallow water hangout spots for family fun, photos and time to unwind.
Bay
Our guided inshore fishing trips explore the protected waters of Choctawhatchee Bay. Depending on the season and conditions, you may fish around docks, bridges, jetties and oyster beds. During the warmer months, we may drift across the grass flats using popping corks and live shrimp for exciting topwater action.
At Destin Inshore Charters, we create private nearshore fishing trips designed around your family, your comfort level and the experience you want to have on the water. Whether you are introducing your kids to fishing for the first time, planning a family adventure during vacation or looking for an exciting trip close to shore, Captain Dan will customize the charter to fit your group.
