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. All trips depart from Destin Harbor and fish the productive waters of the Gulf of Mexico, targeting species such as red snapper, grouper, amberjack, cobia, tuna, mahi-mahi, wahoo, and many other offshore fish depending on the season.

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.

All charters include bait, tackle, fishing licenses, ice, fuel, and fish cleaning. Guests are welcome to bring food and drinks. Our experienced first mate works for tips, and 15–20% gratuity is customary.

For anglers looking for a longer adventure, we offer discounted pricing on trips 24 hours and longer, allowing you to fish farther offshore and experience some of the best offshore fishing Destin Florida has to offer
