Embarking on a private fishing charter with Captain Chris of Cinnsational Saltwater Fishing in Destin turned out to be an unforgettable adventure, especially for a first-timer like me and my group of four. Our journey took us several miles off the coast, where we were introduced to the thrills of near-shore fishing, surrounded by the beauty of the Gulf.

Captain Chris led us to several fruitful fishing spots, always on the lookout for where the fish were biting. Our patience and his perseverance paid off as we caught a variety of fish including sea bass, snapper, and flounder. What added to the excitement was the sight of dolphins nearby, enhancing the overall experience.

Although we had to release some of our catches back into the Gulf due to seasonal regulations, this was a minor setback and no fault of the captain.

Despite the cooler weather, which we were warned about in advance, our spirits remained high throughout the trip. Captain Chris’s warm personality and fun approach to fishing ensured that the cold did not dampen our spirits. His thoughtful preparation and communication before the trip ensured we were well-equipped and ready for the experience.

The service did not end with the fishing; Captain Chris skillfully cleaned and filleted our catches, allowing us to bring our fresh catch to a local restaurant for a delicious, cooked meal. This was a perfect end to our day.

We’re already looking forward to our next trip, hopefully at a warmer time of the year, to once again enjoy the best of Destin’s waters with Captain Chris.

My family of four had a wonderful time. We caught a fish almost every time we dropped the line in the water. Chris had great communication before the trip as well as was very helpful to teach us newbies what to and not to do while fishing. I would recommend this Captain and fishing trip to anyone.

This boat and length of trip is perfect for kids or new fisherman. Captain Chris was great at finding fish and teaching our kiddo how to cast and reel in the ocean. Boat sides were a perfect height for our 7 year old son to be able to participate.

Thanks for a great trip!

Chris kept us baited and on the fish.  He went out of his way to understand what we were looking to do before we got out on the boat and he made it happen.  We left with a ton of fish, pulled in a few monsters and had a great time.  I 100% recommend a trip with Captain Chris on the Cinnsational!  Just reel!!!

We had a great time! A bit rough out in the gulf, but still super fun! The kids caught enough fish for dinner and we saw a few dolphins.
