To start with, it is not a 6-Hour Fishing Cruise. It is probably 1 to 1-1/2 hours of fishing and…read morethe rest of the time is sailing out to sea or moving locations. Although the seas were rough on the day I went, we spent most of the time moving around to different spots, even though at a couple of spots, we were catching fish. It's probably the first and last time I participate on a fishing cruise like this. I'll spend my time fishing off shore and not risking getting sea sick again.

Paid half down and they called 3 days before our tour day to say they can't take us because their boat broke down. I said is there only one boat and he said yes, sorry we can't do it. He referred me to Destin Private Tiki, Captain Matt went out of his way to make sure they could fit us in. We ended up being their last tour of the day but it was well worth it and all the girl's had so much fun! They took us out to the Dolphins, Crab Island and ended with a beautiful sunset. If you want a reliable tour company that will go out of their way to make sure you enjoy book with Destin Private Tiki!!! I highly recommend and will send all my family and friends to this company. Thank You for a great time!!

We were told by the original captain that we were allowed to take photos on the boat with friends who would be anchored nearby so long as the boat was not in motion. When we simply checked in to verify this was still the case, you assumed we were reckless and would just damage your boat because we were celebrating a birthday. I'm sorry but the industry you work in is hospitality and you serve everything opposite of hospitality.

We…read moreoriginally only booked for 3 hours, but decided to extend for an additional 1.5 hours while we were out at sea! Our captains were so accommodating and made us all feel so safe and made it so much fun! The boat is large enough that you can spend time lounging on both the front and back and then go into the cabin if it's raining or too hot. I would definitely recommend booking this boat for your group gatherings or even a special 1-1 event!

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!!
