About

  • Destin Inshore Guides is proud to offer specialized kids fishing trips. Kids fishing trips are designed to introduce children to saltwater fishing and boating.
  • Unlike most companies in Destin, Fl, Destin Inshore Guides gives you the ability to customize your trip from 2 or 3 hours to fit your needs depending on the ages of your young anglers instead of a minimum of 4 hour trips.
  • On kids fishing trips we venture into the calm waters of the Destin Harbor and Choctawhatchee Bay staying close by to maximize your fishing time. While on the boat, your captain will take his time to explain different types of fish and gear to the children.
  • On each trip there is also a possibility of seeing different types of sea life like dolphins and sea turtles. Our company's goal is to get the kids on any species of fish that will have the best possible action at the time of your fishing trip to keep them entertained.
  • Destin Inshore Guides' kids fishing trips are very customizable from taking the kids fishing to cruising around looking for dolphins. With the boat equipped with a small bathroom it makes it very family friendly for the kids.

PLEASE NOTE: With limited amount of time on these charters, these trips are primarily catch and release!
