Welcome Aboard the Fastest, Cleanest, Air-Conditioned Party Boats in Destin!
This a special Destin Fishing Rodeo Trip extended fishing trip more suitable for the 16 years of age & up angler although ages 13+ are allowed accompanied by and adult.
This trip will drive longer to get to deeper water in hopes of landing in-season fish that are larger in size than our typical catch. The aim is more of a quality over quantity.
It’s important to remember to bring ample food/beverages for your trip as we sell nothing on the boat and you will need to stay fueled and hydrated. You can also bring a light blanket/pillow because the boat checks in at 11:30 pm and leaves at 12:01 followed by a lot of driving to the deep water. There will be time to rest up before reaching your first fishing spot at dawn.
Please be advised that you may be waiting in the Rodeo weigh line upon return to the harbor so allow plenty of extra time at the end of the trip (i.e. don’t make dinner reservations).
No discounts are applicable on this trip and no comps or punch cards can be redeemed for this trip as we have limited the amount of anglers to make the trip more comfortable for you.
CAUTION
Boats make some people very sleepy, and it makes a few people seasick from the motion of the boat on the water. We recommend talking to your doctor about a motion sickness cure that they would recommend. We further recommend talking to your doctor about having you take it the night before and then again the morning of the trip so that it’s in your system so that your full day will be a delightful experience (and those around you). There are several over-the-counter remedies available that a local pharmacist can also recommend. Buy sunscreen and after-sun lotions while you are there.

We are very proud of our magnificent boats!
The DESTINY is a 72-foot G&S Sport Fisher with a passenger capacity of 56. The DESTIN PRINCESS is a 65-foot catamaran that can carry 42 passengers. Both boats are very clean and super fast, with awnings and bench seating all around the outside, and very comfortable picnic-style tables and benches inside. They are both heated and air conditioned, providing you with a comfortable ride.
All bait, tackle, and fishing licenses are included with your trip. Passengers should bring any food and drinks they want for the day. We ask that no glass containers be brought on board. A fish cleaning service is provided after your trip for an additional 50 cents per pound. Also, please remember our mates work very hard for tips. The customary amount is 15-20% of your fare.
We also recommend that you bring items for your comfort, such as sunscreen, sunglasses, camera and a hand towel.
