Nearshore Fishing Trips
Reefs and wrecks a mile off the beach.
The Fishing day, in plain terms
The reefs and wrecks just outside the East Pass hold snapper, grouper, king mackerel and more, and you do not need a long offshore run to reach them. This is a private nearshore trip with short rides between spots and a mate who handles the work. Every fishing trip is capped at six anglers, and runs 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.
