Water Activities

Deep-sea bottom fishing is open for the specialties of Destin’s fleet. Red snapper, grouper, triggerfish scamp and amberjack are all caught using this method. In addition, charter boats also troll near the coast, finding cobia, black fin tuna, king mackerel, bluefish, barracuda and spanish mackerel. Far offshore, trollers can find white and blue marlin, wahoo, and sailfish.

Over 100 charter and party boats call Destin home, and range in size from six passenger capacity to ones that can handle more than 100 anglers. Price for the charters may vary by boat, and include bait and tackle. Meals can also be arranged with the boat captain.
