We were told by the original captain that we were allowed to take photos on the boat with friends who would be anchored nearby so long as the boat was not in motion. When we simply checked in to verify this was still the case, you assumed we were reckless and would just damage your boat because we were celebrating a birthday. I'm sorry but the industry you work in is hospitality and you serve everything opposite of hospitality.

Our captains were so accommodating and made us all feel so safe and made it so much fun! The boat is large enough that you can spend time lounging on both the front and back and then go into the cabin if it's raining or too hot. I would definitely recommend booking this boat for your group gatherings or even a special 1-1 event!

Amazing experience at this sailing school!…read more Brian, the owner and instructor is a very patient and knowledgeable sailor. My wife and I did the course together--she gets sea sick and was pretty nervous the first day. However, Brian tailored the lessons to match her comfort level and within the first couple hours she was smoothly tacking and jibing all around the bay with nothing but a smile on her face. All the equipment needed for sailing is provided and is in very good condition. The sailboat used in the 101 course, Mud Bug, is clean, beautiful and fast! It felt like a privilege just to be on it, let alone learn in and take control of it. I looked for a while on which sailing school to take lessons from, but I couldn't be happier wit Mid Bay Sailing. My wife and I fully intend to continue with the 103 & 104 courses ASAP. Overall, stop looking, you found the right place!

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!
