Private Charter Fishing in Destin, Sandestin & Fort Walton Beach
You Came for the Beach—Now Let’s Get Out on the Water!
Destin, Sandestin, and Fort Walton Beach aren’t just about sugar-white sand. These waters are teeming with snapper, grouper, king mackerel, and more—and the best way to catch them? On a private charter with your crew.
East Pass Excursions offers private sportfishing trips aboard luxury 40–45’ boats, with room for plenty of guests and everything you need for a serious day on the water.
This isn’t party boat fishing. It’s your boat, your group, and your shot at reeling in something worth remembering.
What Makes Private Fishing Better?
-
No Crowds: Forget being shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers. No tangled lines, no elbowing for rail space—just you and your group.
-
More Time Fishing: You’re not waiting on a dozen other people. That means more casts, more chances, and a smoother flow all day.
-
Better Boats: Step aboard a 40’+ sportfishing yacht designed for space, shade, and comfort. Plenty of seating, clean restrooms, and room to spread out.
-
Local Captains: Our captains and crew know these waters. They’ll take you where the bite is—whether that’s the nearshore Gulf or a little farther out.

Snapper Season & Other Highlights
Snapper season is one of the most popular times to book, and trips fill up fast. We recommend booking early for summer dates to lock in your spot.
Fishing is available year-round, but target species and tactics vary by season. Reach out if you want to plan a specific kind of trip.
