Have Fun Charters is a Destin, Florida fishing charter offering family-friendly deep-sea and nearshore trips along the Emerald Coast.
The company runs a range of trip lengths including 2-hour and 3-hour kids fishing trips, 4-hour and 6-hour shared charters, and special outings to Crab Island. All trips include tackle and bait, allowing families and anglers to focus on fishing and creating memories.
Trips target common Gulf species such as snapper, king fish, amberjack, trigger, and cobia. Kids-focused excursions emphasize easy, supervised fishing where children and accompanying adults can reel in snapper and king fish. Shared charters provide a cost-effective option for anglers seeking deeper-water opportunities and the chance to pursue larger species like amberjack and cobia.
Reservations encourage guests to bring sunscreen, snacks, and a hat for comfort on the water. Equipment needs are met onboard with provided gear and bait, simplifying trip preparation for families and first-time anglers.
The fleet operates out of Destin, Florida, and serves visitors to the Emerald Coast looking for accessible, guided fishing experiences. Have Fun Charters presents a straightforward offering of short family trips and longer shared charters, plus a recreational Crab Island option that combines fishing with time at a popular local sandbar.
Information on trip durations, included gear, and target species is clear in trip descriptions. Prospective guests can choose a trip that matches skill level and time availability, whether a brief kids outing or a full-day shared charter for more ambitious fishing.
Booking details and availability are provided on the charter's listings.
