    Captain Nicky hooked us up! He was one of the only boats we could find that was "kid" friendly. Did a 4 hour trip & let my nephews get a taste of SaltWater Fishing. Alot of action on the rod & w/kids that's all you can ask for! Caught enough Black & Mingo snapper to feed our family of 16 that same night. Cap was real w/us, giving helpful pointers throughout the trip - making us better fisherman by end of day. Cap Nicky is the Truth & we will be getting back w/him next time in Destin

    June 9 2016, At the dock.  Snapper allotment caught.  Couldn't have done it with Nicky.

    Nicky knows fishing. Leave your freshwater techniques at the dock. Excellent front Office (Lauren) fixed us up with the "paperwork", texts, papyment etc.. Professional, very personable. He (Nicky) was patient with me and my daughter. Listen to his advice. If your catching live cigar fish catch as many as you can as fast as you can. Tell him if your tangled in knots. Ask if you don't understand. His boat, tackle are top notch. Loved the Sirrus, satellite radio music too. He'll adjust the volume too :).....Cleaning, bagging all taken care of at the dock. If you don't have a cooler you have it packaged ready to go. Take your GoPro camera.

    Went out this morning with Captain Nicky and had a n awesome time. We are staying in FWB and thought we would do some fishing. Had a great time and was treated very well. These guys are great. We had originally scheduled a trip for Monday afternoon but due to weather we were called by Lauren well in advance to salvage the day! She rescheduled us for another time, it actually worked out better! I definitely would recommend an earlier trip. We sure will call Emerald Coast Outfitters next time we're in Destin!

    Good dude. Good service. Very fair regarding bad weather popping up. Knows good spots for trigger, white snapper, etc. Know some basics about fishing before you go and he will teach you the rest. We will definitely be back.

    My first deep sea fishing trip was a blast. Thanks so much, Nicki and Lauren. It was awesome. Caught a ton of fish. Mackerel, white snapper and some really cool looking vermillion something. He has a nice center console boat and knows where the fish are. Nicki gave my 15 year old step daughter a great day of fishing. He even let her drive his boat!! Dealing with Lauren on the phone was painless. You can sure tell that fishing is their full time job. They are pros. I'll definitely be looking this company back up in the near future. Great day fishing in Destin!!

    See all

    Captain Nicky worked hard today fighting cold wind, currents and helping these two teenage girls catch fish.

    My brother in law and I went out yesterday, and Captain Nick took great care of us. We were…read moreoriginally scheduled to depart at 4:00 pm, but due to a no show/no call (who does that?!) by a charter scheduled for earlier in the day, we were contacted to see if we wanted to go out earlier. Given the forecast of storms later in the day, we headed toward the marina within minutes. While on the way to the marina, Captain Nick called to make sure we were aware of the less than ideal conditions and to advise us that he'd do everything he could to make sure we got out and caught some fish as long as it was safe to do so. He knew we were making about an hour drive in traffic to get there, so I appreciated him calling to make sure we knew what to expect. We were greeted upon arrival and on our way out shortly thereafter. We had some rough waters with storms hugging the coast and what became a tropical storm the next day rolling in, but Captain Nick made sure we stayed as comfortable and dry as possible on our way out to some fishing spots. We made several stops and had bites just about every time we dropped a line. Captain Nick did a great job of explaining and demonstrating the technique for each type of fish, and he showed great patience with a couple midwesterners accustomed to setting hooks while bass fishing. We lost a number of fish (likely due to midwesterner operator error), but came in with 3 red snapper, 4 Mahi, and a white snapper. We also pulled in several other red snapper and a gag grouper which were put back because they didn't meet size limitations. It seems we didn't catch what other O Sea D charters had as of late, but I attribute that to weather conditions and in no way fault Captain Nick - he knows his stuff and his spots, as we had action nearly all of the time we were fishing. As the wind would push us away from the hot spots we'd pull up our bait, and he'd put us right back on top of the fish. Once the trip ended we headed back to the marina, and Captain Nick set us up for some pictures with our haul then cleaned everything for us to take home and eat. We had a cooler but not enough ice, and Captain Nick was gracious enough to load us back up with ice for the trip home. We had quite the feast that night, (some grilled and some fried) and all of it pulled from the gulf no more than 6 hours before we ate it! Within a couple hours after our charter ended, Captain Jeff (the owner) followed up with me to make sure we had a good time despite the tough conditions. He also sent me a photo Captain Nick had taken of us with our catch. Long story short, these guys are top notch in knowledge and customer service. We will be back for sure, and can't wait to bring others with us next time!

Jeff was super detail oriented and answered all of our questions about fishing on the ride out to his favorite fishing spots. We immediately started catching big red snappers! Aiden went above and beyond his duties making sure everyone on the boat was situated with their fishing pole and bait. Thanks for a great trip, we will definitely be returning for a trip with Captain Jeff! 5 stars!
