Review of Deep Sea Fishing Party Boat in Destin

  • Russell Manning USA Nov 26 2018 10:29am

    Great last minute fishing trip with my father-in-law. Staff was great and very helpful. Things started out rough with the weather but became a beautiful day later. Only issue I had was that I wish they offered food and/or beverages included.

    Will take boat out in unfavorable conditions

    This trip is NOT for beginners. When I read the reviews it sounded like it would be a fun family fishing trip. The crew were very unfriendly and seemed bothered when asked for assistance. The swells were so bad that you could hardly stand yet fish. I caught a small fish that I could have caught over a bridge and we were an hour out. At one point there were about 1/3 of the passengers that were sick because of the rocky boat. When asked if these were very favorable conditions the captain replied that they couldn’t go out the past 2 days so they had to go out today. I am saddened that they felt like moey was more important than our safety or our experience.

    Weather

    Wild ride, weather made meny on the boat seasick including me but the crew and captain still made it a fun experience. The captain handed the ruff seas with experience of a true professional and at no time did I feel in danger even in the wost of the storm. Lots of fish were caught and the crew was very helpful in knowing what was in season and size limits.

    Good time

    The fishing trip was good, the weather was bad, but we made the most of it. My son and I caught 15 fish, 11 were keepers. Our deck hand was great. They were all very helpful, at the end of the day, we left with great memories and a pretty good bag of fish. I would definitely do it again.

    Should have never stayed out fishing

    Day started out rough and got worse. Capt should have never tried to keep us out. Couldn’t keep the boat still to fish over the reefs. Twice was the bot almost on its side. A guy that was in my group had a rod and reel fall on his head while in the cabin and took a decent size gash. To be clear we were on Tropical Wind and NOT Gulf Breeze

    Miserable and very little time fishing

    This was one of the most miserable things I’ve ever got up early for and paid for. We were soaked from head to toe especially coming back!... read more

    Thank you for booking with us and for taking the time to share your feedback. It definitely sounds like weather had a lot to do with your overall experience, so I'm sorry to hear that you did not enjoy. Olin Marler is actually our most popular party boat offered on our site and take pride in their crew and equipment. They are also the most experienced party boat offered from the Destin harbor, so I assure you that the captain was doing his best to position the boat where the fish were biting. Although....it's still fishing, so there is never a guarantee of a great catch. We have shared your feedback with them and will re-visit how we have the travel time there/back listed on our site as we don't want anyone to feel that they have been mislead. Again, thank you for booking with us an hope...

    Ok

    Too many people on the boat. Tangled a lot after carefully following the directions of the crew. Was not thrilled with my total catch. I like the snapper rules of the boat, ie, boat limit and not per person limit unless all fishing persons catch their two snappers.

    Thanks for booking with us and for sharing your experience! Red snapper season definitely is a favorite for anglers, so we do see the party boats at full capacity. I assure you, however, that the number of people on board is actually below the boat's limit. While the crew definitely works hard to make sure lines are untangled, sometimes the conditions just make them work a bit harder to ensure everyone has a good time. Next time you might want to consider a private charter OR the same company offers a semi-private trip which limits the number of people to 15 so there is a lot more elbow room. I hope that you enjoyed your visit and that we see you next time! TripShock! Guest Service Manager
