She took the time to get to know our names and assisted us in every way possible.

Thank you Jeff and Stephanie for an excellent experience!!

The boat is beautiful and the perfect size for our group. The sun deck on the front was so fun to layout or enjoy the view, and the back deck was great to be able to lounge or put our feet in the water.

We also had Captain Cooper, who was fantastic! He did an amazing job and made sure we had a great time on the water. Once again, we had an incredible trip with Sand Island Boat Rentals, and we can't wait to rent with them again on our next visit. Highly recommend!

This is a nice boat, and the fun ends there. We chartered this boat for an afternoon fishing…read moretrip. 4 adults , two preteen boys and a 12 year old boy with autism who absolutely loves everything about boats. The captain get your money and then has the conversation with you or as he may call "instructions and rules". During this three minute tutorial he explains to you that it's his job to drive the boat. Any attempt at conversation may distract him from getting us the fish. He introduces the deck hand and basically says the same about him. Not that it matters because the captain is a typical salesman and he has already closed the deal (he has his money) he has no interest in us. The deckhand has the personality of a serial killer. They pull out poor excuses for rods and basically explain that it's idiot proof and it is. Don't cast your line just drop it over board and then real it in when something bites at the bait. We will start by catching bait fish and then move up (this never happened). The deck hand is casting away for bigger fish but we just get to watch. I saw the writing on the wall and chose not to fish at all. I spent my time (5 hours) with the preteen with autism entertaining him in the cabin (AC works very very poorly). It was a huge disappointment because the captain nor the deckhand ever tried to interact with him and make his day special. Sorry human beings if you ask me! Anyway, over the course of two hours we caught about 9 red snapper. Finally they said it was time to head in, and the two preteen boys went into the cabin with the boy with autism (who literally stayed in the cabin the entire trip), so that gave me the opportunity to enjoy the ride home as the sunset. Nope, the deckhand spent the entire time cleaning that area (all the way back) with chemicals and such as if we had just landed a freaking whale or something. I was an invited guest on this trip, and I am thankful to have been invited. The fee was paid by the guest who invited me and he covered the entire expense for all of us. Thank god he is a gentleman because had this pricey adventure been coming out of my pocket I would have been pissed! Of course the captain and his deckhand gladly accepted a tip, for what I don't know. I've been fishing offshore a couple of times, and each time we had a blast! This was a joke, a very very expensive joke. I wouldn't do it again with these guys even if it was free. After the way they ignored the kid with autism ((they had a real opportunity to make that kids year)) I wouldn't stop and help either of them if they had a flat on the side of the road. I try hard not to give 1* reviews.... but this is exactly what this crew deserves. Rude, arrogant out of touch people only concerned with themselves. I mean... you guys cater to people on vacation? You really think people hand you thousands of dollars to inhale chemicals while you clean your boat?

He was so friendly and helpful with whatever we needed even helped with catching a few of our kids and floats when they tried to float away. 100% will book with Prime Time Charter and Captain Chris again. The boat was clean and comfortable and the experience was well worth the price. It was definitely the most most cost efficient activity we did while there. It averaged about $115 per person for 5 hours. We can't say enough good things about them. Recommend 10/10.

He was extremely professional, and his directions to get there, where to park, and how to get on the boat were so accurate and idiot proof for someone that is a little directionally challenged like me ! He was on time, and ready to go even 15 minutes prior to take off when we showed up. His boat was SQUEAKY clean. When we showed up, he had ice in his cooler already to go for us to put our drinks/lunch in. His safety briefing was through, hilarious at all the right times, and made us feel like we were in great hands. He had a small bathroom under the deck (which was very clean!) and he gave us directions on how to use it. When the fishing started. He was ready with dead bait, but had us fish for live bait for an even better time. We caught so much bait at the direction of Captain Matt, that we didn't even have to stop and buy any! He was very informative of where to sit on the boat if you didn't want to feel the waves as much. When the fishing started, he knew exactly where to go like he had Poseidon powers!! The moment we dropped the lines with the bait that he loaded up on our hooks, we started pulling up fish. At each spot, we were pulling up fish left and right! When we caught a shark, Captain Matt encouraged and coached us all the way through until the shark pulled off. He even gave all of us a chance to have a turn! Even though he was a one man show, there wasn't 3 minutes where we didn't go without bait on our hooks. He was working hard making sure we were all accommodated and equipt with everything needed to pull in some great fish! We caught way more fish than we kept, but we kept 7 red snapper, 2 mangrove snappers, and one fairly hefty (delicious) grouper. We hooked on a few larger fish as well, but the tax collector came along and took his share When we got back, we took pictures of the catch that he presented for us on the dock. After the obligatory fisherman photos, Captain Matt filleted all the fish beautifully for us, put it in ziplocks on ice. We then took it to Harbor Dock per one of his dock neighbors recommendation and they cooked it for us for $14 a plate including sides! I haven't stopped thinking about how great fish tasted that you caught less than two hours before being presented on a plate to you. Try to bring a few boxes of the gallon Ziplock brand baggies! He will happily use them for you and other customers to sort the different fillets and separate ones that you want to take up to Harbor Dock to get cooked. I couldn't imagine going on another boat trip and even comparing to how great the trip was with Captain Matt. If you're considering the party boat, don't. If you don't go with a Captain Matt with Destin Go Fishing, you really missed out on the best guided deep sea fishing trip of your life. HIGHLY RECOMMEND DESTIN GO FISHING!!!
