Emerald Coast Charters believes that everyone should be catching fish in abundance. That said, whatever your angling ambitions might be, Capt. Brandy Miles and her crew will help you find your match.

Brandy is one of Destin’s few lady captains. She works with a crew of professional anglers who share the same values and work hard to put their clients on top of the hottest bite.

Join them in the “World’s Luckiest Fishing Village” aboard the ‘5th Day.’
She is a 40’ Guidry saltwater fishing boat that can carry up to 6 anglers. The 5th Day comes powered by twin 4-53N Detroit Diesel engines and was fully overhauled in 2010. She is outfitted with modern navigational and fishfinding electronics to build up a clear image of where the fish are hiding. The 5th Day features a restroom and a sleeping area, along with an air-conditioned cabin and professional accessories.

The crew of Emerald Coast Charters embraces every sea-dwelling species to make sure you and your family have a “full Destin experience.” The captain will show you her tricks of the trade to land anything that is in season and biting, including Amberjack, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Red Snapper, Grouper, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, Bonito, and Shark to name a few.

Light tackle fishing for several species including Striped Bass, Bluefish, Black Sea Bass, Fluke, Summer Flounder, False Albacore, Bonito, and Tuna. If your attraction is fly fishing and you wish to bring your own equipment we can put you in a position to be successful on the long rod.

Your trip will include the use of light tackle for trolling and Penn gear for bottom fishing. When you are done catching, all keeper fish will be cleaned free of charge. You will also be able to catch your own bait as part of the trip.

Great captain and crew. Wonderful experience for the kids.
5 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (PM) on August 5, 20254 adults2 children
Captain Brandi began by asking our goals for our trip and then delivered beyond our expectations. Girl dads (and girl grand dads) take note…Brandi, the only female captain in Destin, makes a connection with your girls (ours are 7&10) and is caring and encouraging. Nick the deckhand was incredibly patient and accommodating. Nick will make a great captain one day. Would not hesitate to book with Captain Brandi in the future!!

6 Hour Trip – Spring Special on April 8, 20253 adults
We are exceptionally happy with Captain Jimmy and AJ. They took great care of us. We had a friend visiting from Germany who is an avid fisherwoman. She was very enthusiastic about the opportunity to fish from Destin harbor. They were very accommodating to overcome the slight language barrier, and worked very hard to make sure that she was able to experience as much as possible. In the end she was able to catch over a dozen different species of fish. The next time that we are thinking about another fishing charter, this will be the first place that we contact.

4 Hour Trip – Spring Special on October 15, 20252 adults2 children
This was our first Florida charter, and the first time our kids had been on the ocean. Captain Jimmy made sure my girls saw plenty of fish, and we had a great time! it was mid October and we caught tuna, king mackerel, scamp grouper and some trigger. We had a fantastic time, making lifelong memories and would definitely charter with fifth day again.

6 Hour Trip – Spring Special on October 14, 20252 adults
Captain Jimmy and Alto worked hard to find and get us on the fish! They made it great fun and made sure we got our money’s worth. They even made a great recommendation for our “catch and cook” at a nearby restaurant to finish off our day. Would highly recommend! we look forward to fishing with them again.

4 Hour Trip – Trolling (Noon) on August 8, 20255 adults
Crew was great. The deck hand taught us a lot as we caught over 30 fish! King mackerel, Spanish mackerel, and tuna. The captain was excellent about keeping boat in good waters for fish and for one of our group who got sea sick for a bit at the beginning. Be looking to go out further and try for bigger ones next time.
