About Your Trip

This trip is the real deal! Don't expect a leisurely paddle out in the bay (which Dave also offers) instead expect to get pulled around by all kinds of different species as you fight down fish from the comfortable seat of a first-rate angling kayak.

Once you book your trip, you and your guide will discuss the best fish feeding times and tidal information for the desired day you’d like to go out and figure out the best time and location for you to meet up and start your… Kayak Fishing Adventure. Dave and all his guides have the knowledge and skillset to put you on fish, whether you want to head out into the gulf, sneak into the backcountry, or hit the open bay in a kayak.

Dave will provide each customer with first-class angler kayaks that come with the most comfortable seats in the industry, paddle or pedal driven Kayaks, gear and tackle, and all necessary safety equipment. Custom rods and reels are provided for the trip along with artificial tackle, live bait, dry storage containers, sunscreen SPF30+, and bug spray. Although all his guides will have coolers with ice onboard each of the kayaks, customers will have to provide their own 6 pack size cooler for their own drinks and snacks.

Dave and all his guides will also take PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS of the fish you catch and email you all pictures upon your request. They will also bring along a GO-PRO camera to take any video of your preference upon request. You never know what footage might get snagged! Be prepared to expect the unexpected out on the water fishing around Destin in a Kayak, you never know what you're going too catch! They can also hire a professional photographer to film and photograph your whole trip for an additional cost. Ask us about that option if you are interested in having something to take home to your family.

**Words of Advice from Dave**

All Kayak passengers must know how to swim, wear the provided life jacket (PFD) at all times while on the water, be at least 18 years of age, or be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who must supervise the minor at all times both on land and while on the water.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
