Don’t miss this experience!!  Being out on the water is something everyone should do.  The nicest Captain you will ever meet.  He will listen to what you want to do, what you want to catch, or if you just want to show your kids a good time.  He took his time to help us, while the real fisherman with us where catching some “big ones”.  It is just an experience everyone should have when you have the opportunity to be in Destin.  This is what Destin is all about-getting out on the water, enjoying nature, eating seafood, family & friends.  A trip on this boat is about personal attention.

We had a great day fishing with Captain Matt. He contacted us early in the week and we told him we wanted to fish in the gulf. The weather did not cooperate but Captain Matt went above and beyond. We had to re-schedule 2 times but we finally made it out on Friday. Could not ask for a better experience. We had plenty of Red Snapper for dinner. Saved us $ from going out to dinner, lol. This is our second time using Destin Back Country Fishing. We will be calling them again next year!!

I took 4 adults and 2 kids (11 and 12). We all various levels of experience with fishing. But this was a first time charter fishing trip for 4 of us. We had a great time. Matt definitely knew how to handle the rougher than expected waters headed out. he put one of my boys on a dolphin fish as soon as we stopped to fish, and the rest of on fish left and right! What we couldn’t keep was fun to catch and release! We had great keepers though!!! Matt taught us what to do and was pretty patient with us newbies;) it’s not a cake walk for sure… Dolphins hit us twice, taking our fish and making us relocate, but Matt was quick to reel us in and move us to more fish!
My parents had been out before, so some feedback, was that we shouldn’t have had to stop for gas at the start of our trip. However Matt made up for the time I think in the end. We also got a call the night before to change our time from 6 to 7, so they thought he’d use that time delay to get the boat ready. Matt is not for the tender hearted or sensitive personality. He was strict with us all when it came to dropping lines, technique, ect. I’m the end I know why, and my boys took kindly to him. He knew wht he was taking about and wanted us to catch fish! We tried to book again with him but he was booked!
We’d definitely go again!
Thanks for a good first trip!

We had a great time . It was my boys first time fishing in saltwater and it was a trip that we will never forget.  We will definitely be back for another trip. Capt really is a very knowledgable about the area and was great with my kids . Would recommend to anyone looking to have a great time.

We had a great time today! Our captain got us to the right spot quickly and we were reeling in large sheepshead before we knew it. 2 adults and 3 kids on our trip… we each caught a few and had a big fish fry at the RV park afterwards with plenty of fresh fish for everyone. Would definitely recommend
