    Floats
    Brittany S.

    Captain Randy was fantastic! We wanted a relaxing day in the sun and we got it! All we had to bring was our drinks & food. Captain Randy had waters, coolers and ice which he played bartender and served us while in the water. They also had the BEST floats I've ever used. Sturdy and comfortable. Our boat had a top deck for tanning and came with a slide. Can't rave enough about this company.

    The excursion to Crab Island could not have been better, thanks in no so small part to our captain, Kylie Smith.

    O Sea D Fishing Charters

    My brother in law and I went out yesterday, and Captain Nick took great care of us. We were…read moreoriginally scheduled to depart at 4:00 pm, but due to a no show/no call (who does that?!) by a charter scheduled for earlier in the day, we were contacted to see if we wanted to go out earlier. Given the forecast of storms later in the day, we headed toward the marina within minutes. While on the way to the marina, Captain Nick called to make sure we were aware of the less than ideal conditions and to advise us that he'd do everything he could to make sure we got out and caught some fish as long as it was safe to do so. He knew we were making about an hour drive in traffic to get there, so I appreciated him calling to make sure we knew what to expect. We were greeted upon arrival and on our way out shortly thereafter. We had some rough waters with storms hugging the coast and what became a tropical storm the next day rolling in, but Captain Nick made sure we stayed as comfortable and dry as possible on our way out to some fishing spots. We made several stops and had bites just about every time we dropped a line. Captain Nick did a great job of explaining and demonstrating the technique for each type of fish, and he showed great patience with a couple midwesterners accustomed to setting hooks while bass fishing. We lost a number of fish (likely due to midwesterner operator error), but came in with 3 red snapper, 4 Mahi, and a white snapper. We also pulled in several other red snapper and a gag grouper which were put back because they didn't meet size limitations. It seems we didn't catch what other O Sea D charters had as of late, but I attribute that to weather conditions and in no way fault Captain Nick - he knows his stuff and his spots, as we had action nearly all of the time we were fishing. As the wind would push us away from the hot spots we'd pull up our bait, and he'd put us right back on top of the fish. Once the trip ended we headed back to the marina, and Captain Nick set us up for some pictures with our haul then cleaned everything for us to take home and eat. We had a cooler but not enough ice, and Captain Nick was gracious enough to load us back up with ice for the trip home. We had quite the feast that night, (some grilled and some fried) and all of it pulled from the gulf no more than 6 hours before we ate it! Within a couple hours after our charter ended, Captain Jeff (the owner) followed up with me to make sure we had a good time despite the tough conditions. He also sent me a photo Captain Nick had taken of us with our catch. Long story short, these guys are top notch in knowledge and customer service. We will be back for sure, and can't wait to bring others with us next time!

Jeff was super detail oriented and answered all of our questions about fishing on the ride out to his favorite fishing spots. We immediately started catching big red snappers! Aiden went above and beyond his duties making sure everyone on the boat was situated with their fishing pole and bait. Thanks for a great trip, we will definitely be returning for a trip with Captain Jeff! 5 stars!

During our tour Tonya was our captain. She was amazing and very knowledgeable. We spent an hour watching dolphins and then the next 3 on a sand bar. The sand bar was awesome for the adults and kids. She put out a floating mat to lay on and parked right next to an inflatable obstacle course for the kids to play on. While on the sand bar she took a ton of photos and videos of everyone so you didn't have to worry about it. At the end of the tour she sent them to us at no extra charge. If we ever go back to Destin FL then we will for sure rent the boat again!!!! Hopefully Tonya is our captain again! NOTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE!!
