About Your Trip

The only thing that changes between the different time offerings is the size of the fish you'll have the opportunity of catching. The more time you book, the more distance Captain Eric can cover, the bigger the fish you'll be hooking into!

No matter if it's a 6hr or a 12-hour trip you'll be as soon as you hit the open water as Captain Eric and crew will launch the outriggers to highspeed troll your way out offshore to the fishing grounds. Captain Eric has been fishing in Destin his whole life and has been a licensed charter captain for 35 years, he has tons and tons of offshore honey holes marked on his GPS from over the years and will bounce around between them while keeping lines in the water to troll!

While the main targets will be bottom fish at his honey holes like Vermillion Snapper, Red Snapper, Trigger Fish, and Grouper, you can also expect bites from King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and other pelagics while trolling between spots.

About Your Guide

Captain Eric

Outfitter

Captain Eric has been captaining fishing charters out of Destin FL his whole life. He has held a Captain's license for the past 35 years and has put that puppy to good use every year he's held it. With all those years under his belt, Eric knows what it takes to run a quality fishing adventure. On each and every trip he takes out, his goal is to make his clients happy. For Eric, it's not just putting fish in the boat at all costs, its making sure his clients are having fun putting fish in the boat!

He recently partnered up with his son Zach who runs a similar 38' Hatteras to offer the same great trips but offer more availability. This Family run business is the talk of the town!

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

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!
