Boek je volgende trip met Big John of Florida Charter Boat en ontdek wat het vissen in Destin zo uniek maakt. Met onze kapitein aan het roer ben je in deskundige en ervaren handen.

Deze wateren staan bekend om Amberjack, Cobia, Bot, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Goliath Grouper, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Snowy Grouper, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Blackfin Tuna en meer – met een beetje geluk duurt het niet lang voordat je hoort: "Vis aan de haak!"

Tijdens deze tochten kun je verwachten te trollen en te bodemvissen.

Je gooit je lijnen uit vanaf een 52' offshore sportvissersboot met een capaciteit van 15 passagiers. De boot is uitgerust met outriggers, downriggers en alles wat je nodig hebt voor een productieve dag op het water. Er is een toilet aan boord voor je gemak.

Hengels, molens en uitrusting zijn inbegrepen, evenals kunstaas. Levend aas is beschikbaar, maar het is goed om hierover te vragen zodat je weet of je het zelf moet vangen.

De tochten worden uitgevoerd met hulp van een dekknecht. Dekknechten werken vaak voor fooien en het is gebruikelijk om ze een fooi van 20% te geven.

De charterboot zorgt voor je visvergunning, dus het enige wat je hoeft te doen is klaarstaan voor een goede tijd! Houd er rekening mee dat je sommige vissen moet terugzetten vanwege regelgeving. Vraag het gerust en je kapitein kan je meer vertellen.

Het is altijd verstandig om zonnebrandcrème (niet-spray), zonnebril en flessenwater mee te nemen. Als je andere drankjes wilt meenemen, vraag het gerust. Alcohol is toegestaan in matige hoeveelheden, maar je moet sterke drank en glazen flessen vermijden.

Je trip met Big John of Florida Charter Boat is slechts een klik verwijderd, dus waarom zou je het niet laten gebeuren?

Outstanding fishing trip!
6 Hour Bottom and Troll Fishing on September 28, 20254 adults
We had a wonderful fishing trip on a Big John boat! Jordan , our crew mate, was amazing! He was helpful and supportive to those new to fishing We loved the bigger boat with the indoor area and large, functional bathroom We caught a lot of fish which Jordan cleaned for us We ate some of it right after the trip across the way at the Harbour Tavern nearby It was fun to eat our catch as blackened fish tacos Definitely recommend for serious fishers or those just out to have fun!

Hi Jennifer and thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a nice review. The 5 ⭐️ star is always the goal and it makes our day when this happens. The Harbor Tavern is one of our favorite places and we are so glad you got to have a hook and cook there. Thanks for fishing with Team Big John.

4 Hour Beginner Troll Fishing on October 16, 20252 adults4 children
We’re beginners in every sense of the word, but our family of six had a great time w this boat and crew. We probably caught 10 fish on our 4-hour trip, five keepers (fish tacos were awesome tonight!). Matt and Jordan taught us a ton and were great hosts, and the captain gave us a smooth ride…the day was topped off by a surprise stop into the rodeo where our 3 youngest got to officially weigh in. We all loved it and had a great time.

6 Hour Bottom and Troll Fishing on March 21, 20254 adults2 children
Big John’s Fishing Charters is absolutely top-notch! The Captain and crew were the best we’ve ever experienced—so engaged, helpful, and genuinely fun to be around. They made the trip an absolute blast from start to finish. We had two teenage boys with us who can’t stop talking about all the fish we caught—they’re already begging to go back! We caught an impressive amount of fish, and the crew made sure everyone was involved and having a great time. If you’re in Destin and looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure, I highly recommend Big John’s. We will definitely be booking with them again!

6 Hour Bottom and Troll Fishing on April 24, 20254 adults
We had a great trip on the deep ocean with Big John. So much fun and sat us on fish at all stops. Easy, knowledgeable and fun conversations. Big fish and lots of variety. Denis and Corey were great and keep us baited and in the water. Shared fish and ocean knowledge with the group. Boat was clean and nice. Gear was very nice Highly recommend the Big John crew for your fishing experience. Big thanks to Holly for responding to my questions. Thanks to all of the crew of Big John’s and looking forward to a return fishing trip.

Great Family Fishing Outing
5 Hour Beginner Fishing Experience on March 27, 20254 adults4 children
We don’t have enough great things to say about Dennis, Holly, and Cory. We brought 4 girls, all around the age of 9, and they’ve already said this is the best day of the vacation. The crew exceeded expectations with helping the kiddos learn and catch a whole lot of fish. Cory assisted my 10 year old in reeling in a 30 lb grouper and to my delight I think she’s hooked on the sport. We will 100% book this outfit again when we’re down here time. Thanks Big John!
