Destin Inshore Fishing Company is dedicated to showing you, your family and friends the best private inshore/near-shore, offshore gulf fishing and bay fishing charter possible.

Captain Christian and his captains are U.S. Coast Guard licensed captains specializing in light tackle, trolling, and bottom fishing in search of Redfish, Trout, Cobia, Snapper, Grouper, Triggerfish, Shark, Tripletail, Pompano, King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Bontia, Blackfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo and among other species.

Our goal is to share as much fishing and local knowledge as possible while providing safety and comfort to offer fishing trips of a lifetime to individuals seeking the saltwater angling experience. A firm believer in conservation, we are an advocate for proper catch and release techniques for all game fish not within the size, bag limits, and harvest periods according to the guidelines of state laws and federal laws. Of course, when you catch those keeper fish we will clean and bag the catch or you can take it to the local restaurants on the Destin harbor!

With the two fisheries, either the Gulf of Mexico (federal waters or state waters) or the Choctawhatchee Bay, customers see the full spectrum of convenience and years of angling experience. Our location at Harborwalk Village easily accesses both the Gulf of Mexico and the Choctawhatchee Bay in minutes unlike others that take at least an hour to access the Gulf of Mexico or the Bay.

We look forward to serving you and helping you have a wonderful experience fishing on the Emerald Coast of Destin, Florida.

CAPTAINS

Christian Duplantis – Owner and Operator

Captain Christian was born Dec ‘79 in Houma, LA (Sportsman’s Paradise).

I grew up always saltwater fishing in Cocodrie, LA and the surrounding areas until I came to Destin in 1991 at the age of 11 for the summer months. Once I graduated high school in 1998, I moved to Destin full time. In 1999 I received my first captain’s license (100 ton Master) working on the Sea Blaster in Destin, FL.  In 2001 I bought a 40 passenger boat to take people snorkeling and dolphin sightings along the Emerald Coast. After the strong hurricane season in 2005, I donated that boat to the Destin Fishing and History Museum (where the wheelhouse still sits at the front door). Now it’s 2008 and Destin Inshore Fishing Company LLC was founded with one bay boat. We then grew to 4 total boats providing inshore, offshore and bay fishing for all our customers.
 
“I have built a good team who loves their job, loves pleasing their customers and cannot go without producing results for their customers. This business takes teamwork and a single captain can not take credit for all the hard work.” – C. Duplantis
