A fleet with two departure points
The 33-foot Invincible boards at C Dock in Two Georges Marina, Shalimar. The 57-foot Gillman boards at the West Dock of Destin Fishing Fleet Marina. Use the boat name on your reservation to choose the correct destination; both addresses appear on the operator's contact page.
The company describes Captain Blake as having fished the Gulf since age ten. Its offering includes beginners and children as well as anglers planning an extended offshore trip. The Invincible is identified as a 2024 catamaran, while the Gillman is promoted for longer runs and extended stays.
Fishing trips and possible targets
The regular fishing page lists trips from four to 14 hours. Its five- to eight-hour nearshore description includes snapper, mahi-mahi and cobia; the 12- to 14-hour offshore description discusses sailfish, marlin, wahoo and tuna. These are the operator's target examples, with actual opportunities dependent on the chosen route and conditions.
The Invincible's 24-hour oil-rig trip is a separate extended offering, advertised for destinations more than 100 miles offshore and species such as tuna and marlin. Contact the crew about experience level, rest arrangements, food, weather and a realistic plan before selecting it. Multi-day Gillman pricing is by inquiry.
Published starting prices
The homepage advertises fishing from $950 and 24-hour rig trips from $5,400. The fishing page says the base price includes four guests, with $50 for each additional guest up to six. Confirm that this structure applies to your selected vessel and itinerary rather than assuming all packages use the same terms.
Private dolphin and sunset cruises are also advertised from $500. They are separate sightseeing options and should not be confused with a fishing booking. Cruise details mention bottled water and an iced cooler; confirm fishing-trip inclusions independently.
Making a reservation
Call or text Captain Blake with the boat, date, passenger count and preferred duration. Ask about tackle, bait, license coverage, cleaning, gratuity and cancellation rules because the reviewed pages do not set out every fishing-trip inclusion. Your written confirmation should identify the correct marina, meeting time and final all-in price.
Details checked September 26, 2026, using the operator’s published information. Rates, boats, meeting points and policies can change; confirm the final trip details directly. Listed species describe possible targets, not a guaranteed catch or an open harvest season.
