Destin Fishing Charter Trips & Pricing
Great Escape Fishing Charters offers private offshore fishing charters in Destin, Florida aboard the 58-foot sportfishing boat Great Escape II.

Our Destin fishing charters are priced at $350 per hour for the entire boat, not per person. Each trip is a private fishing charter for up to 6 passengers, making it perfect for families, friends, or small groups looking for a true offshore fishing experience.
