The Experience
Before You Go
Bring motion‑sickness remedies
Rough seas are possible far offshore; take meds before boarding and choose a center‑line seat to reduce nausea.
Dress in layers and sun protection
Long hours on deck mean strong sun and wind—wear breathable long sleeves, a wide‑brim hat, and SPF sunscreen.
Footwear matters
Non‑slip, closed-toe shoes improve stability on wet decks and during gear handling.
Hydrate and pack snacks
The day is long; bring water and light snacks even though coolers will store your catch.

Destin earned the nickname “World’s Luckiest Fishing Village” from 19th‑century fisherman Leonard Destin; sportfishing expanded the town into a regional destination.
