Captain Brady and the boat

The captain's biography describes a Destin native who started as a second mate in 1989 and earned his captain's license in 1995. The company welcomes first-time anglers as well as experienced offshore fishermen. Its current FAQ lists a maximum of 13 guests aboard the 52-foot boat.

The published address is 100 Harbor Boulevard. Obtain the slip and parking details before arrival, especially if your group is meeting from different accommodations. Everyone coming aboard should be included in the passenger count, including people who do not plan to fish.

What the trips target

The website describes snapper, amberjack, cobia, tuna and triggerfish among the species associated with its fishing trips. Longer offshore days may target marlin, mahi-mahi and other pelagic fish. The crew supplies fishing gear, tackle and bait and can discuss bottom fishing or trolling according to the group's priorities.

Half-day trips provide an introduction to Gulf fishing, while full-day and overnight bookings allow more travel and fishing time. Ask which option realistically suits the species you want: a short trip and an extended bluewater outing are different experiences.

Published rates and seasonal minimums

The trips page lists day fishing at $300 per hour, with additional charges for parties larger than six. Its stated minimums are four hours for trolling from November through May, six hours from June through September, and eight hours in October for the Destin Fishing Rodeo. The page also specifies a six-hour minimum during snapper season.

A full-day option is advertised at $4,200 per day, again with additional costs above six passengers. Overnight trips require a custom quote. Confirm the actual hours included in a full-day booking, the extra-person charge and your date's minimum before paying a deposit.

Before reserving

Contact Captain Brady by phone or through the website's inquiry form. Provide your date, group size, children's ages, desired trip length and fishing priorities. The reviewed pages do not provide a complete cancellation or refund schedule. Ask for those terms, fishing-license coverage, fish-cleaning arrangements, food and drink guidance, and the final price including any mandatory charges.
