Me and 3 others had a 5 hour morning trip on August 15, 2022 with Captain Harold and his deck hand Dominic. They were waiting and ready at 6:00 a.m.  We boarded the boat and we’re on the way out pretty quickly. We trolled for a while catching Spanish mackerel. Then we went and bottom fished catching some small trigger fish, keeper red snapper and a few keeper vermilion snapper. We had a great time. Captain Harold put us on some fish and deck hand Dominic was on top of things and took good care of us. I would surely book Captain Harold and the Al-Lin again.

Captain Staples and his first mate Shawn gave my crew the best day of ocean fishing we have ever had. Mike put us on bait fish, then put us on so much Triggerfish, Grouper, Bonita, Kingfish and giant Red Snapper, that we went home exhausted but extremely satisfied after catching so many fish. First Mate Shawn, who also has a captain’s license, managed everything perfectly and taught us how work as a great fishing team. Shawn helped make sure hooks were always baited and expertly cleaned all of our legal fish as we caught them. We planned on having fish for dinner that evening and the Al-Lin captain and crew did not disappoint! I have been fishing out of Destin Marina for 40 years and highly recommend Captain Staples Al-Lin if you are looking for a great, authentic Destin fishing experience.

Absolutely the best fishing experience of my life. I can’t say enough about how good of a captain Harold is. We were on fish the whole time with hardly any downtime. The crew were absolutely amazing as well. I had myself and three people who never fish and they worked with them to the point where they were catching more fish than me !! I really can’t wait to see them all again next year

We had a group of six for our fishing adventure. Got to the dock at 550 and headed out. Captain did a good job of putting us on the fish and Dominic was the best first mate These guys will take great care of you and are very personable. 
Thank you for the great fishing adventure, and letting me catch the biggest fish of the day.

Even though I spent most of my time in the cabin with bad headache.captain and Dominic took great care of my crew and some first timers. Now they Hooked!!!!
