Great outing. We had seven in our group and most were not much into fishing but we do enjoy…read moreCatching. This is exactly the experience that we got with the captain and his two first mates. We went out at 5:00 AM and quickly dropped lines in for some bait fish. A few bait fish were pulled in but after 10-15 mins we pulled out and went over to a bait boat that filled up the tanks of what was needed for our 6-hour outing. We then headed to where the snapper were, maybe 30-45 mins away. From there we proceeded to pull in one fish after another until we were limited out. It took less than 3 hours. Unfortunately that was the only thing in season at the time. Instead of heading in early we were taken to another area where the Amber Jacks were hungry and only 7-days away from being in season. The Amber Jacks were biting as well as the Red Snappers and we all got the opportunity to haul in at least one of them. They put up quite a fight and we all got some beauties. We took our pictures with them and then released them back to fight another day. Would recommend Lady 'Em and it's crew to anyone interested in catching!

If you're looking for a fishing charter at a Destin, Florida, Championship Offshore Outfitters & Charters is the one the one to go on! We cannot wait to go back with them.

Great trip today! Captain Matt and our deck hand Thomas did a great job of ensuring our group had a…read moregreat day on the water. With fishermen ranging from 6 to 60 it was amazing. Choppy water made it a bit too much for our 6 year old grandson. The captain was very focused on it being a good experience for him, so he turned us around or of the larger waves and we spent the day trolling and even tried some shark fishing.Thomas was great with the kids and was very informative of the fishing as well as all of the area. His gentle teasing with the kids made their day. Needless to say, the 6 year old and all of us were all smiles by the end of day. I highly recommend this charter service to anyone wanting to fish the Destin area. Very wholesome and fun environment.

Captain Tim was very knowledgeable and put us right on the fish. I don't consider myself a fisherman or angler although I enjoy it. Just about every time I dropped the line into the water I reeled in a keeper. He knew what I had caught before we even saw them. He was very well prepared and helpful. I highly recommend Captain Tim and Double Time Charters! I will definitely book this charter again on our next vacation to Destin!

There were multiple 20-30 lb red snapper and grouper caught and then released due to being out of season. We loaded up the fish box with species that were in season. Capt. Jimmy keeps us on the fish and the crew are second to none. They're courteous, professional and very knowledgeable. Our men wouldn't think of booking with anyone else. Keep up the great work, see ya next year.

Great so you're not fishing on top one another and has a lot of spots to get shade while outside. The air conditioned cabin was nice too.

My husband and I had such an amazing time on our morning trip that we immediately booked another trip for the very next afternoon. That alone should tell you how much we enjoyed it! Captain Chuck and Julie were absolutely phenomenal hosts. Captain Chuck made everyone feel safe, comfortable, and welcome from the moment we stepped aboard. Julie went above and beyond to make the experience special--she took photos and videos throughout the trip and sent them to us afterward, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the day without worrying about capturing every moment ourselves. The pontoon is comfortable, the atmosphere is laid-back and relaxing, and the small-group experience makes it feel personal rather than crowded. Whether you're visiting Destin, FL for the first time or returning to Crab Island, this is the way to go. We left with wonderful memories, great photos & videos, and a strong desire to come back again. Highly recommend the Destin Bay Hopper to anyone looking for a fun, stress-free, and unforgettable Crab Island experience!

He definitely put our kids in mind when it comes to fishing and making sure the whole family have fun! The whole family were actively catching fish the entire time. We saw dolphins along the way which he stopped for photos and videos. Our kids were so happy watching the dolphins swim by! Also, he took great family captures of us while on the boat and also on the dock with our freshly catch. Mike was also nice enough to filet our fish for dinner and suggested his son's restaurant to go for the cooking - which was delicious and amazing! We had such a great experience going on this fishing adventure with Mike that we want to book with him AGAIN in the future when we are back in Destin, FL. Thank you Mike for your great customer service and we appreciate you so much! We will never forget this fishing trip. Highly recommend Captain Mike for your fishing adventures. You won't be disappointed:) 10+ rating all the way!!
