Fantastic day out on the water with Captain Nicky…read more 5 of us went out today, caught our limit of redfish, and about 40 more for a busy day on the water!! Nick took us to multiple spots and handled everything. Provided ice for beer, instructions for rookies, help landing the fish, and plenty of photo opportunities! When we got back to the dock he filleted the the fish and got us on our way. He knew where to find fish, kept us busy the entire 4 hour trip... and he is a veteran... support good guys like this!! Thanks!!!

Absolutely happy with our experience…read more From booking to fishing to cleaning. 100% wouldn't recommend any other boat in the area. Don't go to the all out expensive or cheap group boats, Nicky is highly recommend if you thinking of doing any off shore fishing. He not only taught us quickly he was patient and so easy to talk with. Great local guy who knows his stuff. Amazing trip. Will use him again on my next trip to the area!!

Captain Brandon is the best!!! We went out on what was supposed to be a crap weather day, but…read moreCaptain Brandon was flexible with us and we ended up leaving earlier than planned. And that worked! We did some bangarang Sea Trout fishing. He knew a few good spots to check out and kept bait on our lines which kept the fish coming. He has a really relaxed vibe and will work around your fishing goals. Highly recommended!!! We will be back!!!

Texas to Florida! From a dusty town in west Texas to the sandy shores of destin Florida waiting for…read moreCaptain Chris was truly an experience like no other. Seagulls and pelicans patiently waiting for boats to dock trying to make a catch then all of a sudden it pulls in. One of the nicest boats I've ever been on in my life. Heading out with pure power and top of the line equipment 15 minutes in already had dinner swimming our way. A few stops and quick grabs was a blast as we got further out starting seeing fish I've only ever seen pictures of. 6 hours wasn't enough but ideal for first timers id imagine. Next trip 12 or more no questions. I was left wanting one more catch just one more. From beginning to end was hands down 5 star treatment. You're not dealing with a business like fishing charter the Captains wife kept me informed on everything answered every time I called with new questions even on a Sunday spending time with family. Just so happened to be horrible weather coming on the day of our trip and I called and asked last minute if we could change and without hesitation they made adjustments even as busy as they were. That showed me right then and there I found the best in the business that was willing to accommodate me for the best experience ever. I highly recommend Backlash. Deck hand was all in and very knowledgeable and kept the trip fun and took care of everything. Even made a delicious snack while we fished. "Water 2 Gut" fish is what I called. Fish probably still had a heart beat while we were eating the rest of em. Never had fresh fish like that. Cant wait to go again. Thanks Again! Backlash

I must say, I am completely baffled on how Boat Charter Destin has such a high rating as our family…read morevacation experience was a complete disappointment and a waste of our hard earned money. I am not one to post negative reviews, however this experience warrants it. I will add that I e-mailed the charter in an effort to address our experience and they have opted to not respond so I am happy to share our negative experience publicly. Funny how they respond quickly when you are booking a trip, but fail to respond if there is an issue to be addressed post trip. Our trip was scheduled to depart at 7am, however the boat was not prepared for departure and we did not get under way until 7:52am. Our Captain (Jeff) did not have the boat fueled, he did not have ice, nor bait ready for our trip. While "fueling" the boat, he managed to fill the fresh water tank reservoir with gasoline, requiring the marina to subsequently pump the gasoline out before we could depart. Obviously this did not instill confidence as to the captains boating capabilities or familiarity with the boat. Since we opted to place our personal possessions into the china toilet cabinet, all of our personal belongings ended up reeking of fuel vapors. After preparing the boat for our "fishing" trip, Jeff had to make yet an additional detour to obtain ice and bait for the trip. I will add he only obtained 20 bait fish for the entire trip. Knowing the complexity of the ocean and the likelihood that one will go through a lot of bait while trying to catch fish, why would you only get 20 baitfish and then put several of the baitfish on the hook in whole instead of preparing cut bait??? Being an avid fisherman, it is important to match bait size to hook size. If the fish are stealing the bait, put smaller pieces of the bait on the circle hooks so they can't just rip it off and they have to actually take the bait....or switch to J hooks. Now that we have finally spent an hour and a half of our morning anxiously awaiting for Jeff to have the boat ready for the fishing trip, we finally get under way. After getting to our first fishing spot, Jeff informed us we would be using three rods for our four person fishing trip until he got us on some fish.....which never happened. Since the captain invested in cheap fishing gear, there was an issue with one of the reels while attempting to land a fish and we only "fished" with three rods for the remainder of the trip. Should have been more prepared for this I would think. Without exaggeration, we literally had our lines wet and in the water for less than 30 minutes for the entire five hour "fishing" trip. In full disclosure, there were dolphins following the boat and made fishing a bit more difficult. Jeff would put us on a spot and we would drop our lines a couple times and we would again move to a new location which could take an extensive amount of time. We literally fished 4 spots the entire trip and I am not exaggerating when I say we only had our lines in the water for 30 minutes total. This is unacceptable! I hope anyone who takes the time to read our review will not have the same negative experience we did. Since we reside in Texas, we based our decision to use this charter after reading the posted reviews. We now realize our experience did not mimic that of others. You would think the charter would want to address our experience, but it seems they got their money and they are moving on to the next. I wish future customers the best!
