Fantastic crew. Great action.
6 hour- Bottom Fishing(AM) on August 19, 2025 • 6 adults
Ryan and Allen were fantastic! They hooked us up with some high action spots. My group of 6 caught about 60 fish and kept 40 on our 6hr charter. I’d highly recommend using them! Ryan is a true professional as a Captain and I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook. Only thing I’ll note, the address posted is not the correct one. It seems it’s hard to get it changed for them on this app. The actual Pier is Pier 98 (a little further from downtown PCB and a longer boat ride to the fishing spots).

Excellent trip!
4 Hour Trip – Trolling Special (AM) on November 9, 2025 • 5 adults
Captain Ryan and first mate Alan are first rate, very personable and put you at ease! Booking in November can be challenging due to changing weather, we were able to adjust dates to try for the best weather conditions. When we did go out, he put us on the fish immediately to catch our limits. The wind didn't cooperate and when it got too rough for my older parents, he adjusted the trip to make sure everyone was comfortable and having a fun time. Can't wait for the next trip!

Extraordinary trip !!!!
6 hour- Bottom Fishing(AM) on July 7, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child
We booked with Dauphin Charters with Captain Ryan!!!! We were five and the first mate worked hard to keep us baited and catching !!! Our group all caught fish and we caught our limit and along with that we caught some enormous red snapper!!!! Not a dull moment waiting for a bite as the Capt. moved us to when the bite slowed!!!! Wonderful and productive trip beyond our imaginations!!!! We highly recommend this business!!!

Captain Ryan and 1st mate Alan were fantastic. They took great care of us (3 adults, 19 and 2 47+ year olds, 16 female and a 12 boy). We had a blast caught more than we ever thought. We even almost pulled a a monster (bull shark 9ft + we think)! Highly recommend “no control” any time you are thinking of booking a trip!

Fishing with Ryan
6 hour- Bottom Fishing(AM) on July 29, 2025 • 3 children
The Captain and first mate were great. The captain put us on the fish. If the fish weren’t biting in one spot he would move until we found them. The first mate kept our hooks baited and was very knowledgeable and good with the three kids we had on the trip. The only drawback to the day was the amount of time we fished. Booked a 6 hour trip and only fished 2 hours. 2 hours to get out, 2 hours fishing and a 2 hour ride back to the docks.

Thanks for fishing with us! We truly enjoyed you guys. Unfortunately, if the fishing is tough inshore which it has been, we will make further rides to ensure better fishing.. I know you guys mentioned destin boats didn’t have to ride as far, but fishing everywhere has been extremely tough this year. We would rather everyone catch fish vs fishing for something thats not there. Thanks again for fishing with us!!
