REVIEWS
“By far the best deep sea fishing trip we’ve ever been on! Our captain was Josh he went above and beyond to make our trip enjoyable. If your like me, I look for the best deal and friendliest employees. Also the manager and Jamie are great to deal with very pleasant!”
“These guys know how to catch fish! We had Mupps as our guide, he was excellent. Put us on fish quick without having to waste time riding. He was quick to keep out lines baited and in the water at all times. Boat was clean, fast, and smooth on the water. Great experience overall! We will be back again!”
“I`m a firefighter in Gwinnett County Georgia. Several of us travel to Destin in Oct. to fish the Rodeo. This year, having an extra day, three other firefighters and I booked a last minute trip w/ Capt. Andy. It was a blast. He put us in the fish. When I return to Destin I look forward the fishing with Capt. Andy. I recommend you take a trip w/ him, I believe you will enjoy it.”
“Absolutely amazing crew! We had an amazing experience with Captain Rusty (Done Deal) on our 6hr offshore fishing and followed up the next day with another absolutely amazing 5hr inshore trip with Captain Justin!! BOTH were very impressive captains! When visiting Destin plan a trip with these guys you will not be disappointed!”
“Having owned and operated a guide service in Tenn. for the past 31 years I am qualified to say the trip on the Slay Ride w/ Capt. Andy was truly a blast. More fish time and less travel time. The boat, gear, Capt. and fishing were all A++++.”
“BEST charter fishing in Destin. What a wonderful day of fishing. We had grandad, son and 2 grandsons. Caught their limit. Great time. The captain was spot-on. The cost was reasonable. Of course we gave a cash tip. We plan to do this every year from now on.”
“Dear Christian, Wanted to let you know what a great time my boys and I had with Capt. Nicky. We kept him super busy with two 9 year olds and myself. He went out of his way to find good bait and to make sure everyone was catching and worked his butt off. The kids had a blast. The first thing they asked me was if we could go back next year. Thanks for providing such a wonderful service. The memories are priceless. Will see ya next year.”
“Amazing family day! This is our second year and we had another Amazing day from start to finish!!!! Christian truly cares about his customers. We did a 5 hour family fun cruise. My daughter got to see dolphins and we got to catch our own lunch , a beautiful king mackerel, before heading to crab Island for an amazing reef burger!! Joseph was our captain and was absolutely amazing!!! Thanks for an amazing day and new family memories, we will see you again next year!!!”
“Catch ’em up! The men in our family had a super experience with Capt Josh. He was just as eager as we were to catch some fish. We caught our limit with all fish better than average size. Snapper, King, Spanish, Bonita, Grouper, and Amberjack. We had a full boat of 6 fishermen plus Josh, and plenty of room to move around. Also, Jamie is the best! She made sure you are booked and stays in-touch.”
