Huntress Fishing Charter is a Destin, Florida–based full-service charter operator specializing in private sportfishing trips of varying durations. Captains and crew run scheduled Four, Six, Eight, Ten, and Twelve-hour charters that include deep sea trolling and bottom fishing to target species such as King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Trigger Fish, Red Snapper, Greater Amberjack, Grouper, and BlackFin Tuna. Trips depart from Destin and focus on offshore and nearshore fisheries tailored to seasonal availability and customer preference.
The charter provides hands-on guidance for anglers of all skill levels. A Mate assists with baiting, rod handling, and landing fish, then fillets and bags catch so customers leave with ready-to-cooler fish. Shorter four-hour charters emphasize inshore and nearshore opportunities for fast action on mackerel and snapper, while extended ten- and twelve-hour trips venture farther offshore for bigger pelagic and reef species.
Huntress Fishing Charter supplies standard charter gear, licensed captain, and mate services; anglers are advised to bring personal essentials like sun protection, drinks, and valid fishing licenses when required. Boats operate under local regulations for catch limits and seasons. Booking typically reserves an entire boat for the party; private charters prioritize personalized itineraries.
With a clear focus on customer safety, fish care, and an efficient fillet service at trip end, Huntress Fishing Charter offers straightforward, experience-driven fishing charters from Destin for families, groups, and serious anglers seeking offshore and bottom-fishing opportunities. Several trips include a dockside photo opportunity to document the catch and a mate will fillet fish for the cooler upon return.
