Catch 22 serves the Destin fishing market from Two Georges Marina in Shalimar. Its two-boat operation offers private fishing, shared trips when available and a dedicated three-hour children's outing. The departure point is important: visitors should travel to the Shalimar marina rather than assume the boat boards on Destin Harbor.

Choose the boat for the trip
The Sea Fox 248 Commander handles inshore and state-water trips, while a federally permitted Grady-White is used for longer offshore outings. The operator lists capacity for up to six guests on either boat. Its published range is four to 12 hours for the Sea Fox and six to 16 hours for the Grady-White.
Captain John is identified in the company's customer-facing material. The operation emphasizes hands-on guidance for first-timers and experienced anglers alike. Discuss your fishing goals before choosing the vessel, since the boats' operating areas and available durations differ.
Private, shared and children's options
Private bookings reserve the boat for your group. The website describes bottom fishing and trolling, with species varying by trip and season. Shared charters bring together up to six anglers and are subject to demand and availability; call with your dates instead of assuming a daily shared departure.
The three-hour children's trip uses the Sea Fox and focuses on catch-and-release fishing in calmer water. The crew provides coaching and the operator lists gear, bait, license coverage, a cooler and ice. Its preparation list asks families to bring a fitted life vest for children under seven; confirm the child's size and the crew's requirements in advance.
Prices and inclusions
The booking page lists Sea Fox private trips at $800 for four hours, $1,000 for five hours and $1,200 for six hours. Longer and offshore trips have their own booking options, so verify the live price for the exact boat and duration. Do not apply the Sea Fox rate to the Grady-White without confirmation.
The operator lists rods, reels, bait, tackle and fishing licenses among its inclusions. The shared-trip page also includes ice. For the children's outing, free parking and dockside restrooms are advertised.
What to bring and where to meet
The children's packing list calls for lotion sunscreen rather than spray, a hat, sun-protective clothing, non-marking footwear, snacks, drinks and water. Confirm the appropriate list for an offshore charter and whether to leave a fish-transport cooler in your vehicle. Ask for the exact dock, arrival time, cancellation rules and the weather decision procedure before booking.
