The company operates large-capacity vessels — including the Destiny and Destin Princess — promoted as Destin’s fastest, cleanest party boats, and focuses on accessible, educational fishing experiences for kids, beginners, and families.
Trips span short afternoon outings to full-day and extended deep-sea expeditions, with available durations of 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and a 14-hour Fishing Rodeo trip. Kids-specific trips are designed for ages 5–10, while the 14-hour extended trip is designated for ages 13 and up; the 14-hour trip notes that guests should bring their own food and drinks. Many family trips emphasize hands-on lessons in deep sea fishing fundamentals and the opportunity to bring home freshly caught seafood for dinner when permitted.
A professional, friendly crew guides each departure, offering instruction aimed at new anglers and families. All trips depart from Destin and operate in the Gulf of Mexico. Services prioritize cleanliness, safety awareness, and an approachable experience for first-time deep sea anglers. Reservations are available for a variety of trip lengths and vessel options to suit different schedules and group sizes.
