About Your Trip

Climb aboard with Captain Harold for an exciting day fishing the waters around Destin, Florida!

Captain Harold is a veteran of Destin fisheries, having fished these waters for almost 50 years! He’ll be sure to take you to where the fish bite. You’ll spend 8, 10, or 12 hours trolling nearshore for the plethora of Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, Triggerfish, Cobia, and more species that inhabit these fisheries. You will be using live bait (which you
will catch).

Their family custom-built “Al-Lin” in the late 1980s and have maintained the boat ever since. She is 44 feet long and can accommodate 6 anglers. She also has a restroom.

Captain Harold and his crew provide everything you’ll need to have a productive day on the water, including rods, reels, tackle, bait, licenses, and ice. Just pack food, drinks, sunscreen, and a cooler to take home your day’s catch.

Get ready for an exciting day on the water with Captain Harold!

Captain Harold

Independent Guide 14 yrs of exp.
Captain Harold is proud owner and operator of a family owned and operated Destin fishing charter business since day one.

Captain Harold’s father, Harold Senior, built his first boat (really just a box) when he was just a few years old, and he sailed it in the New Basin Canal in New Orleans around 1930.

Captain Harold Senior was encouraged and went on to build as many as 30 boats in his lifetime, each one getting larger and larger, with
ten of those boats measuring 30 feet plus.

After many of Captain Harold Senior's fantastic boat creations, Captain Harold Senior and Captain Harold Jr built the Al-Lin which is named after Captain Harold’s two children, “AL” for Allen and “LIN” for Lindley.

Captain Harold moved from Biloxi to Destin and started fishing in 1973 and hasn't stopped! Allen and Lindley would ride along as young children and started helping with some of the charters. Allen became a captain at the age of 18.

Captain Harold’s daughter’s children, Gavin and Madison are now enjoying fishing at the ages of 7 and 10. Now they go with their “PawPaw” and help out with some of the charter trips. Jace, Captain Harold’s nephew, has been on several trips and now has ‘fishing in his blood’.

Captain Captain Harold says, “We have been very Blessed to make a living from what we love to do!”

The trip was great. The captain shared before we left the dock that the fishing had declined over the past couple of weeks but he would do his best to find them. We ended up with a good day catching 42 keepers. We would reserve with him again.
