Scallywag Charters advertises custom guided fishing from the Fort Walton Beach and Okaloosa Island area. Its inquiry-led approach lets visitors request a child-friendly outing, bay fishing, a deeper offshore trip or a captain's-choice itinerary rather than selecting only from one standard fishing package.

The operator and location
The public contact is associated with Captain Nick Kirby through the published booking email. The website gives its location as 1318 Miracle Strip Parkway Southeast, behind Rick's on the Island and next to Destin West.
The company says it runs trips from first light to sunset year-round by appointment. Its page still carries a 2025 reservation banner, so call to verify current availability and the specific vessel before planning around a displayed promotion.
Fishing choices
The quote form offers child-friendly fishing, bay fishing, deep-sea fishing, shark fishing and captain's-choice charters. Fishing-duration choices span two to three hours, four to six hours and six to 12 hours.
Those are inquiry categories rather than a guaranteed fixed schedule. Tell the operator the ages and number of passengers, dates and whether your goal is a child's first fish, a bay outing or longer Gulf fishing. Ask what targets and methods are realistic for the trip offered.
Other outings and boat details
Dolphin cruises, sunset cruises and Crab Island trips appear alongside fishing, with a 90-minute cruise category. These are separate products; make sure the reservation states fishing if that is the purpose of the day.
The reviewed current page does not publish a complete boat model, passenger capacity, captain biography or amenities list. Confirm shade, seating, restroom arrangements and boarding assistance directly rather than assuming the fishing trip uses the same setup as a sightseeing outing.
Getting a complete quote
Call, email or submit the operator's quote form. No current dollar rate table is published in the reviewed material. Ask for the boat, hours, full passenger count, base fare, mandatory fees and deposit to be specified in the response.
Also confirm tackle, bait, fishing-license coverage, ice, cleaning, gratuity and what guests bring. Obtain the cancellation and weather policy, exact dock and arrival time before paying. The published address identifies the business location, but the crew should confirm the actual boarding arrangement for your charter.
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.
