Charter Boat Phoenix
Join Charter Boat Phoenix for a full day of Gulf Coast fishing adventure in Destin. Whether targeting Groupers, Amberjacks, or Mahi Mahi, this trip promises variety and excitement on the open water.
Charter Boat Phoenix operates out of Destin, Florida, providing a range of guided fishing charters tailored to different skill levels and objectives. The operator offers five core trips: a 4 Hour Near-shore Charter designed for families and first-timers; 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-hour trips that explore productive offshore grounds in the Gulf of Mexico.
Each excursion is led by experienced guides who provide hands-on assistance and local fishing knowledge. Trips run aboard custom-built fishing vessels, including an 8-hour option noted as operating on a 55' boat. Available fishing techniques include trolling, bottom fishing, deep dropping, and catch-and-release reef fishing.
Species targeted across the various trips include Spanish mackerel, King Mackerel, Blackfin Tuna, Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and large sharks, depending on the selected charter. The 12-hour trip offers customizable options like trophy trolling, bottom fishing, or deep dropping for grouper; guests are advised to bring food and drinks for longer voyages. The 4-hour near-shore charter emphasizes shorter travel times and family-friendly action with opportunities for reef or trolling catches.
Charter Boat Phoenix focuses on delivering structured trip options, reliable guiding, and well-maintained equipment to provide productive days fishing from Destin waters. The combination of multiple trip lengths, varied fishing methods, and experienced guides supports a wide range of angler goals, from casual reef days to trophy offshore outings.
