Captain Dave is awesome! We’ve gone out with him for the past 3 years and we’ve always had a great time. He’s a lot of fun and knows the bay very well. Fishing is somewhat luck but we’ve gotten a good haul 3 years in a row and had a blast each time. We’re going to keep seeing Dave each year. He’s got a great reputation for kids charters and I can’t wait to bring my son out next year.

Simply the best! Professional, highly enjoyable, incredible fishing charter!!! Captain Dave had fish on in 15 minutes from leaving the dock. While other boats were struggling to get bites we were hauling them in. We fished in three different spots and captain Dave targeted the fish we wanted.. It truly was an awesome charter. Capt David prepared all our fish and nicely cleaned and packaged all of our fish up and we had a feast ..His equipment , boat and experience were all top notch!Thanks Captain David you truly made my son and my experience a remarkable one which Im sure we will fondly remember a lifetime.You truly are Simply The Best!

Captn Dave was awesome,brought the family we were looking for more of a personal experience it was a blast we were joking and having a good time,within no time he put us on some fish , Dont leave Destin with bookin a trip!!!

So note the 1 star review previously posted is from some Michigan fans that ice fish, have never been to Florida fishing, and never win in football,. They are bitter since their team sucks and cannot ever beat OSU. Roll Tide. Their travel South of the Mason Dixon line visa has been revoked. We had a blast with Capt. Dave. Took my 2 daughters and one of their friends and Dave was great. We did an afternoon trip since I have teens that sleep late, though morning bay fishing is my preference, but a fun afternoon in early fishing season. Dave was totally pro a great family guy with young kids of his own. Highly commend to any folks, no matter where you are from. that do not think they are smarter than the pro on his home court.

Dave was a great boat Captain! my buddy Leroy and Jimmy came into town and had a blast! Dave put us in some fish and made it worth the while. A+++ service!

Great service, knowledgeable and friendly!

Captain David took the family and I out today. He was very patient with our kids, and couldn’t have been any more plesant. He was very knowledgeable, and put us on fish right away. He’s well beyond his years, when it comes to fishing knowledge.I won’t hesitate to use him again, and will highly recommend him to all my friends and family.Jason Gunn

Captain Dave was great this morning. Booked a 4 hour trip. Caught fish immediately and then moved around the bay to catch Spanish Mackerel, Blue Fish and a Red. Thanks

Had a fantastic fathers day charter with Captain David. We caught our limit of red snapper. Also trigger fish,black snapper, grouper and trigger fish. We released the triggers but fun to catch. We hooked up immediately and the action never stopped. Thank you Captain for a truly memorable trip.

We booked a trip and let Dave know what we wanted to catch. It was timed to our trip to the area and he was up front with our odds of success. We are four experienced fisherman and have many years of coastal fishing among us but did not feel like bringing a boat along. He put us on fish. It was not lights out, but we wanted a specific fish. He put us where our best odds were and we hooked several. We had a fun time and he was excellent company to fish with. Life is too short to fish with irritating people and I would fish with him any time. He could have put us on dinks I am sure, but that was not what we were looking for. Boat was clean, gear was top quality. If you are looking for a fun trip, I feel sure he would do his best to put you on what you want to catch.

Ive been on a lot of charters and head boats. This was by far the best fishing trip I have ever been on. Captain David kept my girls catching fish, and was very committed to making sure we had a great time. No more head boats for us. Book Captain David and ensure a great time.

Had a blast! Was super knowledgeable about the area and where to find the fish. Caught fish all day. would recommend him to anyone! Will for sure be using him next year when we come back!

Captain Dave was very laid back, easy going and friendly to my kids. We did not have to do a thing. He handled himself with patience when the kids lines got tangled and made my wife and I laugh. And most importantly we caught some good size fish that he filleted and that we ate on the same day. Absolutely a delicious experience.

We had a great time Capt David was very nice and polite. Me and my wife caught fish all day when most of the other captains were having trouble . We will definitely book with him each time we come down. If your not sure who to use give him a try u will be happy.Taylor

Had a great day fishing with Captain Dave. I would highly recommend them not only did he know the fish but he knew the area. Made us feel right at home the first minute we met him. Next time were in Destin were definitely going to look at the Dave up.

Capt. Dave was awesome. My 15 year old son had a blast and told me he LOVED ME for taking him on the trip. That alone was worth it.Thanks Capt. Dave. Well see you next trip.

David was excellent and energetic about his job. Its nice to have a guide who is fun as well as knowledgeable. The weather threw us a curveball, but David was able to improvise because of his knowledge of the area we were fishing. It was obvious that he does a lot of scouting, even on the bait fish. Nothing is worse than spending your time searching for bait, but David had them pegged. Fishing was excellent, and I would highly recommend emerald coast bay charters to others looking for a great trip.
