    Sheepshead haul in 2 hours.
    Ken R.

    I hire guides almost every year- Keys, out West and even in Alaska. What matters most is their helpful attitude and work ethic. Captain Nicky worked hard today fighting cold wind, currents and helping these two teenage girls catch fish. He showed them how to cast, coached them on the bite and after we got tired from pulling in a haul, graciously offered to split the trip and take us out again the next day. If you've got youth or you want to go for more competitive game fish, this is your guy. Highly recommend him.

    Captain Nicky hooked us up! He was one of the only boats we could find that was "kid" friendly. Did a 4 hour trip & let my nephews get a taste of SaltWater Fishing. Alot of action on the rod & w/kids that's all you can ask for! Caught enough Black & Mingo snapper to feed our family of 16 that same night. Cap was real w/us, giving helpful pointers throughout the trip - making us better fisherman by end of day. Cap Nicky is the Truth & we will be getting back w/him next time in Destin

    Went out this morning with Captain Nicky and had a n awesome time. We are staying in FWB and thought we would do some fishing. Had a great time and was treated very well. These guys are great. We had originally scheduled a trip for Monday afternoon but due to weather we were called by Lauren well in advance to salvage the day! She rescheduled us for another time, it actually worked out better! I definitely would recommend an earlier trip. We sure will call Emerald Coast Outfitters next time we're in Destin!

    June 9 2016, At the dock.  Snapper allotment caught.  Couldn't have done it with Nicky.

    Nicky knows fishing. Leave your freshwater techniques at the dock. Excellent front Office (Lauren) fixed us up with the "paperwork", texts, papyment etc.. Professional, very personable. He (Nicky) was patient with me and my daughter. Listen to his advice. If your catching live cigar fish catch as many as you can as fast as you can. Tell him if your tangled in knots. Ask if you don't understand. His boat, tackle are top notch. Loved the Sirrus, satellite radio music too. He'll adjust the volume too :).....Cleaning, bagging all taken care of at the dock. If you don't have a cooler you have it packaged ready to go. Take your GoPro camera.

    Good dude. Good service. Very fair regarding bad weather popping up. Knows good spots for trigger, white snapper, etc. Know some basics about fishing before you go and he will teach you the rest. We will definitely be back.

    My daughter and her first day of deep sea fishing ever.

    My first deep sea fishing trip was a blast. Thanks so much, Nicki and Lauren. It was awesome. Caught a ton of fish. Mackerel, white snapper and some really cool looking vermillion something. He has a nice center console boat and knows where the fish are. Nicki gave my 15 year old step daughter a great day of fishing. He even let her drive his boat!! Dealing with Lauren on the phone was painless. You can sure tell that fishing is their full time job. They are pros. I'll definitely be looking this company back up in the near future. Great day fishing in Destin!!

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!!
