Having done a fair amount of charter fishing at this point, I think I've learned what to look for in a good charter boat. The boat needs to be clean and organized, they have to be meticulous about tackle, serious about bait, and have a top notch first mate. This boat and captain tick all the boxes and more. It took me all of about five minutes to know these were real fishermen and they weren't out there for a boat ride and a few picture. No, these guys wanted to put us on as many fish as the could in the shortest amount of time possible. We packed more in an 8 hour than I've gotten out of 10 and

Chris took my family of 6 on our very first deep sea fishing experience. It was the best time! He did a great job putting us on fish, and Taylor was so patient and good with my kiddos. Not only did we have a blast, but we're taking home a load of fresh fish to eat!

Been hiring charters out of Destin annually for 30 years. The Seawinder was as good as it gets. Capt Chris and Taylor were professional, courteous, fun....and most importantly they can flat out out you on the fish! Superb experience! Thanks guys.

I am telling you, Chris and Taylor do not disappoint. They were awesome! We did a group of five for ten hours and had a great time. Chris hunts for the big fish! We landed two monsters and above average others. Listen to these guys and you will land fish! Highly recommend them and I will be back! Thank you Chris and Taylor we had a blast! From the Missouri boys!
