Destin Deep Sea Fishing Charters

Looking for the best deep sea fishing in Destin, FL? Championship Offshore runs private fishing charters right from Destin Harbor, and Destin is our #1 service area for a simple reason: it’s home. Known as the “World’s Luckiest Fishing Village,” Destin sits where the Gulf drops quickly into deep offshore water, putting trophy fish closer to shore than almost anywhere else on the Gulf Coast.

If you’re staying in Destin, you’re only minutes from the dock at 210 Harbor Blvd. Whether your rental is on Holiday Isle, along the Highway 98 beachfront, or on Crystal Beach and Scenic Gulf Drive, you can roll out of bed, grab breakfast, and be lines-in on the Gulf before most people have finished their coffee.

Captain Matthew Champion has fished Destin waters since 1987 and is a Destin Fishing Rodeo Captain of the Year. He runs every trip aboard the Championship, a 42′ Buddy Davis sportfishing boat with an air-conditioned cabin. Choose a 4- or 6-hour trip for red snapper, grouper, and amberjack, a full day offshore for tuna, wahoo, and mahi mahi, or a 24- to 48-hour overnight trip to the Gulf oil rigs. Every private charter takes up to 6 anglers and includes tackle, bait, ice, and fishing licenses, and the mates clean and bag your catch back at the dock.

Destin gives you the full package: world-class offshore fishing by day and one of Florida’s most popular beach towns to come home to each evening. If you’re planning a fishing vacation on the Emerald Coast, Destin is where you want to be.

Trip rates vary by season and trip length. Call for current rates and open dates. Book early for summer and the October Destin Fishing Rodeo, when dates fill fast.
