Best of Both Trips

Fish the reefs, then float the sandbar.

A charter boat set up to combine fishing and a Crab Island sandbar day

The Best of Both day, in plain terms

Can’t choose? You don’t have to. On the Boca or the Whiskey we can combine both styles in one charter: spend part of the day working the nearshore reefs, then anchor up on the Crab Island sandbar to swim and relax. It’s a flexible, do-it-all day, and like fishing, it’s capped at six aboard.

What are the trip styles?
Three: a Crab Island sandbar day, a nearshore fishing trip, or a "best of both" charter that combines the two. Crab Island can run on a pontoon, the Boca, or the Whiskey; fishing and combo trips run on the Boca or the Whiskey.
What’s the difference between the boats?
Our pontoons are sandbar day boats out of Fort Walton Beach. The Boca is a more affordable fishing and Crab Island boat out of Destin Harbor. The Whiskey is our premium option out of Sandestin. Fishing and combo trips are capped at six aboard.
Is the whole boat just for my group?
Yes. Every trip is private — your captain, your boat, and only the people you booked with. Never a shared tour.
