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.

My family and I had the pleasure of fishing with Captain Chuck on our vacation and it was the absolute highlight of our trip. He was attentive, accommodating, kind, and most of all, hilarious. Seriously, this man needs his own stand-up … More show. We'll hopefully be back in the near future! Thank you Captain Chuck and IntraCoastal for an awesome experience. -

We had Captain Chuck take us out on a 5 hour trip. He did a great job of finding fish. From trolling to bottom fishing he did great! I would definitely go back to Intercoastal Experience for our next fishing trip. -

Captain Brett and captain Chuck showed us an incredible morning with our crew of 11. We had 6 kids from 7-12 years old and 5 adults. They made the trip so fun for all and allowed the parents to truly enjoy fishing as well by baiting and … More helping everyone with their lines. Super knowledge, experienced and personable. Would definitely use them next time! -

Incredible time! We came down to the beach for our country’s birthday looking forward to a relaxing time. We waited until the day before to book a charter, but we still did thorough research to find the best place to go. That’s when we … More stumbled upon the crew at IntraCoastal Experience. We read scores of great reviews, and ultimately decided to cross our fingers that we could secure a charter with Captain Chuck. Lo and behold we got in touch with them right after a group had cancelled on them for the next morning, and they told us, “by the way you’ll be with Chuck.” From the moment we walked up, Chuck was professional, funny, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable in his craft— he has 10 years of experience but it easily felt like 30 or more. We shared many laughs, interesting stories, and had a great time cutting loose with out on the water. By the time we pulled back to the dock it was clear it had been a rough day for everyone else on boats who were not driven by Captain Chuck. Barely any fish were caught. No bites. Sad day. But not us. Not with Chuck! We would’ve been fine with the camaraderie alone, but much to our delight we caught plenty of fish to take back home with us. Ended up just one away from the red snapper limit, plus a few mangrove and a couple of mahi too. We were more than pleased with our trip and will look nowhere else for all our future fishing charters! -

We had an absolute blast fishing with Capt. Chuck! We did a 4hr near shore trip in the afternoon and caught several king mackerel and red snapper between the three of us.
All of us, by no means avid anglers, felt right at home with Capt. … More Chuck and his deckhand (Jason). Never once did we feel unsafe or unattended to. If a spot didn’t produce, we were on to the next one. Capt. Chuck has a knack for putting you on the fish. My only regret is not booking a longer trip!
The guys were also nice enough to take pictures for us when requested and also provided some recommendations for a great dinner in town.
Capt. Chuck even let us try some dip that he made with some king mackerel he caught recently (which was delicious, I might add 🤤)!
My recommendation is that you spend the money and book the 5 or 6hr trip. My first text to my wife after we caught our first round of fish was that the trip was worth every penny. Go fish with these guys…you won’t regret it! -

This was our first time going off shore fishing with the family and we had a wonderful experience. Captain was friendly and you could tell he had experience fishing in Destin. Captain found those honey holes and we caught some big fish…made … More our adventure even more rewarding. He was helpful with our children, baiting lines, and did all the hard work. It made our experience memorable and fun! We highly recommend IntraCoastal! We will be coming back for some more fishing. -
