Had a great morning fishing with Chuck. Caught plenty of fish, unfortunately not red snapper season as we caught several of them up to 20” but a great time.... read more One of our four guys reeled in a big Cobia that went in excess of 50 lbs and Chuck was very good at giving pointers to make sure the fish didn’t get off. Highly recommend reaching out to this company for your chartered fishing needs.

Captain Chuck and IntraCostal Experience are the best! We booked a 6 hour trip for five adults and thoroughly enjoyed it. Captain Chuck was great. He was helpful and informative... read more and was able to pick up on the skill levels of each in our group and give a little extra assistance to those who needed it. He was also very kind and patient. He also gave us some instructions on preparing the fish which turned out to delicious.
The fishing for us was fantastic. We targeted several different species and when we struggled to catch fish at a couple of locations, Chuck knew of other places to go. We could hear him on the radio talking with other captains both getting and giving information. It was obvious from what I overhead that Captain Chuck is well respected and liked by the other captains on radio.
Even if the fishing for us would have been slow, we would have enjoyed our time because of Captain Chuck, the comfort of the boat, the scenic coastline of Destin and the beautiful weather.

Booked the near shore trip with three kids the week of Thanksgiving. By far one of the best experiences we’ve had. Chuck was so patient with the kids, made them feel comfortable, and really knew where to put us to catch a lot of fish. We … More first stopped under the bridge and caught our bait. What a great way to start! Unique experience on the ride out, Chuck saw a pod of spotted dolphins and stopped the boat to let us see their magic. The dolphins swam along side the boat with us, they were SO close! Once we were about 10 miles out, we caught fish almost every time we dropped our lines down. Some were keepers, some were not. Even had some sharks break our line. The kids loved every minute of it. 4 hour trip was perfect for 8 and 11 year olds. Save yourself money on a dolphin cruise because you get one with this fishing experience. We had dolphins around us the entire time we were fishing. We brought our fish back to the dock and the kids got to throw the remains to the pelicans. We took our bagged fish to the closest restaurant and had them cook our fish. Delicious!! Amazing experience. Ten out of ten. Book with Chuck!

We have been going with Captain Chuck for four years, every spring break in Destin. He is professional, the boat is always clean, and he treats us so well. We always have the best time fishing and laughing for the morning! Our avid fisherman … More (son) has been fishing with Captain Chuck since he was 4 years old. It is our favorite part of our trip here every year! We have caught all kinds of fish but the best part is even on a less than perfect fishing day we are always catching more than the other boats we see and pass. We have already booked our stay for next year and we will be signing up with Chuck again, as always!

We were a party of four adults with fishing experience. Captain Chuck was a delight. Friendly and knowledgeable. Between himself and his first mate, Jacob, we were always ready to drop a line.
