Our charter boat fishing trips come in several types, based mostly on the time you have to spend and the fish you want to catch. Our shorter trips are perfect for fishing amateurs who are just getting their feet wet in the salt water, while our overnight trip is great for experienced enthusiasts who want to spend as much time on the water as possible.
We take our passengers out beyond the waves, where the reef fish are biting and the giants lurk. From red snappers to amberjacks, groupers to triggerfish, all the fish you could ask for are out there. We just have to go catch them! We use live bait to catch them, guaranteeing success.
If you want to go trolling for king mackerel, then a short trip for some inshore fishing is just what you are looking for. We know where the fish are biting and when, and will make sure you catch a satisfying fish. And if there’s rough weather, not to worry: our charter boat has a comfortable interior with air conditioning, heating and more.
We offer the complete charter boat services, with professional, long-time fishing guides with over 30 years of experience. We make everything easy for you, guiding you and your kids through the fishing process so that you can snag what you’re looking for. We take you where the fish are, and then will clean and cut when we’re all done. We even make sure you get the perfect fishing photo!
Danny and Justin were phenomenal. I will definitely look them up when Im back is Destin. We caught enough fish to feed our group of 8. Justin was great to move to a new
new area when the fish werent or quit biting. Danny was very patient with us girls. He made it very to fish for the newbies. We really had an awesome time!
We had eight women on our fishing trip. It was perfect. Captain Justin made sure we were in the optimal fishing spots and quickly moved when fish weren't biting. He is so knowledgeable about the area and fishing. First mate Danny was so helpful and such a hard worker. Quick to make sure our lines were baited and boat was in tip top condition. Can't say enough good things about our experience.
Amazing crew. Really know their stuff
The Charter Boat Phoenix is the finest fishing vessel in the fleet. Capn. Scott Robson and his crew are the best in the business hands down. I have been fishing with Capn. Scott for over 15 years and have never once had a bad experience. My trips with the Phoenix have ranged from off-shore Marlin, Dolphin, Hoo's, Jacks, Grouper to Near Shore Snapper to beach Tarpon. With Capn. Scott, his crew, and impeccable accommodations the Phoenix provides you are ensured to share my same fantastic experiences.
You seriously couldn't have a better fishing experience hosted by the greatest captain in the world. He's a hardcore fisherman. Whatever you're hunting he'll put you on'em!
I have been out on the Charter Boat Phoenix many times both on business and pleasure over the last 15 years. Capt. Scott is a top of the line captain for all varieties of fishing from Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Amberjack, Grouper and Snapper. Excellent boat, captain, and mates.
I have been deep sea fishing for 40 years. In all of my time I have never been with a Captain that works as hard as Scott. I have been on 18 trips with him and have never been disappointed. If you want to have the best deep sea fishing "EVER" look no further than the crew of the Phoenix. They are hands down ,THE BEST!
We had the best fishing trip with the crew of Phoenix!! They absolutely know their stuff and had us all feeling like pros when we caught fish after fish after fish! Highly recomended
We had a great trip with Captain Scot and Justin, our deck hand. We had a mixed group of youngsters an experienced fishermen. Justin did a good job of catering to everyone's experience level. I have had good experiences with them before and they are number one on my list of boats to book out of Destin. We have fished a good number of other boats, both in Destin and Venice, and can strongly recommend the Phoenix.
I booked Scott to take some family members and customers on a 10 hr trip. The trip was great from beginning to end. The boat was nice, big, comfortable and CLEAN when we boarded the boat.
We stopped at a couple locations to catch bait on the way out to red snapper land. Justin, the deck hand, instructed us in every aspect of the fishing and using the various equipment, from catching the bait to later catching a bunch of big red snapper and some grouper.
The trip was a great success, we caught our limit of very nice size red snapper pretty quickly and spend the rest of our trip trying various locations for grouper and we did catch some nice grouper also. We were not fishing community fishing spots, we were off on captain Scott's spots all alone all day long.
I have taken a lot of charters over the years from many different ports. There were a lot of different boats for me to choose from when selecting our trip out of Destin. I chose Scott after doing as much research as I could. I could not have made a better choice. Scott and Justin were both fantastic. I will be booking them again next year.
We booked the Phoenix for an afternoon trip to get some red snapper. We booked after being referred by a friend and we were not disappointed. Captain Scott put us right on the fish. Justin, the first mate, was excellent working with all of us and everyone caught lots of fish despite our inexperience. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, the boat was clean, and the AC inside was a welcome respite from the heat. We limited on red snapper and picked up some king mackerel on the way back in. The highlight for the ladies was the dolphin that followed the boat out of the bay. We will absolutely recommend Captain Scott and the Phoenix to anyone coming down to the Destin area! -The Eldridge Family
Awesome trip from start to finish. Justin was great with handling 8 of us fishing and the boat had plenty of room for all of us. The captain kept us on fish all day too!
Scott hand his crew are the best... We have been on 3 trips with them and have another booked in 2 weeks. His 1st mate Justin is awesome he was able to keep up with 5 of us with no problem. We highly recommend taking The Charter Boat Phoenix for your next deep sea fishing trip...
We just got back from our 4th trip with Captain Scott and 1st mate Justin. Attached are pictures of our rewards...
Best charter service on the coast! We had a great afternoon catching monster red snappers with Scott and Justin. Looking forward to next year.
We had a awesome trip out with Scott. We look forward to our next outing
Put us on fish two days in a row! They are good teachers to newbies and take care of everything with the exception of your snacks water and beer. You know its good when your forearms and biceps are sore for days afterwards!
We caught fish all day to the point of being tired. Unbelievable to catch so many quality fish in cool weather. Clean boat. Great crew. I promise I will go back on the Phoenix over and over again. Caot. Scott, truly knows the Destin waters.
Second to none!!! We had such a great day with the hole crew...I think they had a great day with our crew as well, WAS A BLAST!
Captain and mate put us on fish and the boat is very nice. First time for me deep sea fishing and I had a blast. If youre going out, go with these guys.
Amazing captain Justin very knowledgeable and kind. Amazing work by the first mate Danny a very fun and rewarding experience, made my first time on the ocean one ill never forget. Highly recommend for anyone lookin to have a good time fishing in destin.
Had the best trip! Crew and boat are top notch! Would definitely book again.
We flew in from the East Coast for a fishing charter weekend. Our flight delays were miserable, but Captain Justin and first mate Danny were absolutely fantastic! They are both friendly, personable, and laid-back, which created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere from the start. Throughout the trip, they went above and beyond to ensure everyone on board was having a good time. They were knowledgeable about the best fishing spots, and Danny's enthusiasm for fishing was contagious. With their expertise and guidance, we caught a good amount of fish. Danny really helped me out, considering I know nothing about fishing, so thanks again. My husband reeled in a bull shark, which was amazing to witness. The boat is well-maintained, super clean, and equipped with everything we needed. Captain Justins navigation skills were top-notch, and Dannys assistance with baiting hooks and offering tips made the experience even better. I highly recommend booking a trip with them
This trip did not disappoint. Capt. Justin found the fish and 1st Mate Danny kept our lines untangled (mostly) and our hooks baited. We caught our limit in Reds plus a King Mackerel and all before 10am. My 15 year old was crowned the MVP of the trip by Danny for catching the most of any of us. Our group of nine had a blast and would do it again. Don't book a private charter with any other boat.
We had a group of 6 (ages 9-70) go on a 6 hour trip. The boat is beautiful and very comfortable. We caught the limit of red snapper along with a few other species. The highlight of the trip was catching a large bull shark! Captain Justin and first mate, Danny were awesome. They put us on the fish and we all had a blast! I would highly recommend this charter. We will definitely be fishing with Phoenix again.
We had an incredible trip on the Phoenix. The captain and crew went above and beyond to make sure we had a great trip. They also have the coldest AC Ive ever seen on a boat
Justin and Danny were very friendly. They knew great places to fish. We caught our allowed 12 red snappers and a few other smaller fishes in no time and spent the rest of the time fishing for sharks and other larger fish. It was surprisingly fun. Not the boring sit-and-wait fishing I'm used to. We were practically catching stuff within seconds of pitting the line down.
We didn't have to touch the fish, though we could if we wanted to. Air conditioning in the cabin was a huge plus, too.
Went on a 6 hour charter with Justin and Danny. These guys were top notch pros! Had a blast and caught a ton! Highly recommend!
Our group of 7 adults, aged 21-80, had a great time. We caught a nice variety of fish. Captain Justin and 1st mate Danny, were great. Danny kept the hooks baited and everyone cared for. We were catching them so fast we barely had time to take pictures. We will definitely book again.
Had a great time with Justin & Danny! They made sure that we got lots of fish and helped make sure that everyone was catching fish. They even set us up to get a shark on! Very friendly crew and comfortable boat!
Our group had a fantastic time fishing with Captain Justin and First Mate Danny. Both worked hard with our large group of 10 and made sure we were always prepared and ready to fish. We were able to catch fish all afternoon, soaked in the sun, had good conversation and enjoyed our entire fishing trip from start to finish. Both Justin and Danny made this trip very worthwhile.
When we get back to Destin, we will book again!
The only thing better in Destin than the charter boat Phoenix is its Captain Justin Brantley and his deck hand Quinten. What a blast! they took 8 of us out for my bachelor party and we are all ready to book our next fishing trip. The boat has the coldest air conditioning with plenty of space, a refrigerator, microwave, air fryer and a plenty of bunk beds for the hungover to nap if they need to. What a great experience!
Great fishing trip on the Phoenix. Super Captain who works hard to put you on the fish. Thanks Captain Justin. On top of that he has best two deck hands in the fleet I think. I have been coming to Destin fishing for 25 years and these two are the best Ive ever seen. If you want a great trip with a great crew and comfortable boat then this should be your go to. See you all next year!
We had a BLAST on the Charter Boat Phoenix! It's a big, roomy boat, with an air conditioned cabin. Capt. Brantley put us on the fish and helped us to evade the sharks and dolphins that tax your catch. We caught our limit of snapper, triggerfish and amberjack. The deckhands were knowledgeable and fast. They had a system that everyone fishing more efficient. This was my wife's second offshore fishing trip. She also approves. We come to Destin at the same time every year so we'll be back!
We booked a trip with the Phoenix August 11. Im a pastor. I wanted to take my guys from my tree business fishing. Also got my brothers and son to go. We had the best time. We caught wahoo amber jack triggerfish red snapper. Captain Justin was the best. He kept us on the fish. The deck hands were great as well. We have made memories for a lifetime. We are definitely looking forward to our next trip. I would definitely recommend this charter to anybody who is considering the deep-sea fishing trip.
The Phoenix is a first rate operation!! We were a group of mostly newbies and it couldn't have been any better. Captain Justin would put us right on the fish. The crew of Quinten and Rowland were awesome also. They worked there tails off to make sure our experience was top notch.
Captain Justin put us on the fish right away. Quentin and Roland were amazing on the deck. The boat is in top shape and shows how professional this crew is. Roland (freshman in high school) will give you long lost hope for the next generation.
Great trip, great crew, caught a bunch of fish!! Couldnt ask for better!!!
Cap. Justin and the crew were super nice, welcoming, and best of all, put the whole fam on fish.and we caught a shark too!!! Great time with the fam and the crew! Will book again for sure!
Great trip, had a blast
Great experience great captain and crew kept on the fish and good assortment of species caught.
Thanks for the day
We have been out w/ Capt Justin and the Phoenix multiple times. Capt Justin always ensures our family including grandparents and 3 boys are safe, happy and catching lots of fish! He does a great job giving us options and keeping the boys poles bent! This trip we boated our limit 5 Trigger Fish, including a Granddaddy, 25 Mingo Snapper and ~30 Spanish Mackerel. The Phoenix is a great boat and looks awesome with recent touch ups Capt Justin has invested in. We have tried other similar boats at the same marina, and do NOT advise trying to save a few bucks on price. Go w/ the Phoenix and you will be glad you did.
These guys are the answer for daily charter fishing. Learned more about fishing and catching big game fish in 4hrs than I had at anytime prior. Highly recommended!!
Awesome trip. First of all the boat was amazingly clean and comfortable with great AC and a clean bathroom per my wife.
The Captain discussed what we wanted to fish and he did just that, we caught big fish 20-40lbs for nearly 90 minutes straight. Great experience for my family
Cant wait till next time
Thanks Captain,
We are in Destin for our daughters senior trip and she wanted to experience deep sea fishing. We called a few places for our group of 9, from the moment we spoke to Hadley we knew that this was where we wanted to book, she was so kind and friendly and helpful. We got to the area where we went to get on our boat, the phoenix, and captain Justin was so welcoming and so helpful. After we got out on the water and was able to start fishing Quentin helped us so much as we were all first timers, he was so patient and so helpful and so fun! We caught so many fish and had the time of our lives! We will definitely be calling them again and they absolutely made our trip one that we will all remember forever!
We went on a 10 hour trip on 7/8/22 and we absolutely WACKED em. We caught very nice Red Snapper, grouper, scamp, lesser amberjack, and several Bonita. The captain and crew are very professional and worked their tails off to make sure we were taken care of. Half of our crew had little to no experience and Quintin and Isiah gave them all the attention required. We will definitely be back on the Phoenix!
Absolutely hands down one of the best charters I have ever been on and I have been on a lot! Captain Justin and his crew are awesome and do everything in their power to make sure your charter is top notch! The Phoenix boat is also awesome! Won't use anyone else from now on!
Always an amazing trip with Phoenix! We caught sooooo many fish and the crew is great!
Captain Scott and crew gave us one of the most awesome fishing experiences we have ever had! I would highly recommend taking your friends and family on this trip, we got to see dolphins and the weather was fantastic. We got to take home lots of fish to eat for dinner! Hope to return soon!
Thank you for helping my son and giving him a great fishing experience!!! Caught some nice fish and he really had a blast!
Great fishing day with the crew of Phoenix. Very enjoyable with success at catching lots of fish
Great day of fishing. Captain Scott and First mate Justin had us on fish with the first stop. Very knowledgeable of the Gulf and all that it provides.
Book with these guys!
Great trip, great folks, exceeded expectations all the way around
Captain and mate were very helpful and accommodating. They put us on fish at every stop. We had a great time and will definitely consider them for future trips.
Hands down the best fishing experience we have ever had! We have used them two different times and will continue! They are friendly, fun, experienced, and make sure all your expectations are met! Worth every penny with these guys!! Cant wait to see them next trip!
Captain Scott and Justin put us on the fish all day. Cobia, snapper, grouper, king mackerel, etc.. They were great with our kids too. Highly recommend.
Great experience!
Best catch of the day in the harbor. Quality service, quality fish , quality boat and equipment. Family friendly. We would recommend this charter boat to anyone.
Comfortable boat. Captain knew where the fish were Justin the mate took excellent care of us
We took our family out for the afternoon, including kids from 6-14 years old, to fish for red snapper. Captain Scott is an experienced veteran and knew right where to take us to make sure we caught fish. He was also flexible and since one in our party wanted to try for some Mahi-mahi he adjusted for us to take us to the best place for it since the waters had shifted and they hadn't been biting well. First Mate Justin was great with the kids (and adults). He was friendly and also professional. Keeping us fishing and even taking the time to answer the 278 questions my 6 year old son had for him. We caught out limit and had a great time doing it. Even though it was HOT (95+) the air conditioned cabin was a great retreat to keep us cooled and hydrated. If we come back to Destin to fish we will be on the Phoenix and will have no doubts about the lasting memories and experiences we will have.
Awesome experience. We had 4 younger kids with us and Justin loved having them on board. Im sure some other crews would be annoyed by the questions and inexperienced fishers but these guys were top notch. They put us directly on the bite and we killed it all morning. More fish then we know what to do with!
We had a larger group of 12. Captain Scott, 1st mate Justin and 2nd mate Julian are top notch. We caught plenty of fish. They rotated our group so that we all were able to catch fish, and did so in a very profession and patient manner which can be difficult with a larger group. Boat, equipment etc all very good. We are still talking about the trip and would recommend and use again. Thanks guys!
Will definitely book with Scott and Justin again!!!! It was my first time deep sea fishing. Unfortunately it rained the entire time and we had to cut our trip short because of bad weather. HOWEVER, I was super nervous about going out in the weather but Scott and Justin made us feel at home AND we limited out on our red fish within the first two stops. Captain Scott even indulged my love of dolphins and let me get video of one stealing my sons fish (son was not happy about this). We had 6 people and everyone got something. They even let us do some trolling closer to shore due to the weather situation. LOVED my first time going out and will be booking again!!! Thank you Scott and Justin. My family and I had a wonderful time!!!
Had a fantastic and successful fishing experience! Justin and Capt Scott put us on some great fishing spots. Ready to book my next one!
Booked this 6 hour trip for 6. Had so much fun pulling in one fish after another. The quality of the boat, captain and first mate were FIVE stars! Justin was quick, knowledgeable, and overall friendly! He made the experience even better.
Great trip every time!!!
Amazing day out on the water ! Great boat, great crew, and the BEST fishing experience Ive had. Thank you!
Great experience! Captain Scott put on fish all day long. If we hit a spot they werent biting or we were only catching small ones, he would move us to a another spot til we were catching good fish. Justin was great! Made sure we had everything we needed and new exactly what was coming up. Would definitely recommend these two. Will definitely book another trip as soon as possible!
FABULOUS trip. Thank you Justin for putting up with us. You guys are the best!
Great fishing trip! Took the 6 hour trip this morning and we had a blast. Had our two boys with us, ages 7 and 4 and the captain and 1st mate did an awesome job! The boys loved it and the cabin was great for them to take a short nap. This was our second fishing trip with them and wont be our last!!! Cant wait to book another trip next year which our boys have asked to do the 10 hr trip!! :)
I took my two son-in-laws and grandsons on our first deep sea fishing trip ever. Captain Scott and his first mate Justin did a fantastic job on making this an experience we will never forget. The Charter Boat Phoenix is a first class fishing vessel and well maintained by the first mate Justin. We were well taken care by this young man. Thanks Captain Scott and Justin for making this such a memorable experience!!
Best Charter experience for the whole family. Best Captain I have ever seen. Very knowledgeable about the area & where to get the best fishing experience. I would highly recommend this Charter for your fishing experience and all around fun.
DONNIE, SANDY & ALEXIS PARKER FROM VIRGINIA
Awesome!! caught plenty of fish, great captain and deckhand,
We caught a ton of fish and were extremely well taken care of! Would recommend for anyone wanting to fish out of destin area.
Awesome day. Capt. Robson put us on fish all day and FirstMate Justin helped and educated us through the fish battles. Really made for a memorable day. This was my 5th trip. Will come again.
Capt Scott and Justin did a great job of getting us on the bite. Had our boys with us and Justin did a great job with them. Boat was great for the kids and the crew was very professional and we had a great time. We will definitely go out again with them.
We took multiple teens with us, and Captain Scott and Justin could not have been more accommodating. They tailored our trip to exactly what we wanted. We caught multiple red snapper and grouper. They were fantastic. We will do it again with them next year! Thanks much to both of them.
Our family had another great day fishing on the Phoenix with Captain Scott. Fishing highlights included catch and release of a 100 lb Tarpon, a couple of massive Jack Crevalle, and our limit of some really big Red Snapper. Mate Justin could not have been nicer or more helpful. Ive been fishing with Scott for about 20 years and hes our only choice for Charters in Destin.
Caught lots of fish!
Great crew! We had a blast and reeled in some amazing fish. Captain Scott and Justin went above and beyond to make this a great experience
This is our 4th year with Scott and Justin. For the last four years our youngest has joined us and this year he got to reel in a snapper. We catch fish every single time and they are so accommodating. We tell all of our friends about Phoenix and the fishing experience. We cant wait to come back next year!!
What a great fishing experience! Took the 12 hour trip the week of July 4th and had the opportunity to catch two 45 -50 Amber jacks. Capt. Scott and Justin where awesome and a wealth of knowledge on where and how to catch some serious fish. Will definitely fish with them next time in Destin.
Great experience! We had a blast and caught tons of fish. The crew was extremely helpful, experienced, and family friendly. Best fishing charter experience weve had yet, highly recommend!!
Took a 10 hr trip targeting grouper and scored big. Also caught some nice red snapper, scamp and some huge amberjack(unfortunately, the AJs were out of season and went back). Captain Scott put us on the fish and Justin managed the deck expertly. Weve been with the Phoenix six times and they always deliver.
Excellent experience for the whole family. The Phoenix with Captain Scott and first mate Justin are a 1st class boat and crew in a crowded Destin charter fishing fleet. This was our 6th trip with them in the last 4 years and we will be back with them for years to come with out a doubt. If you want to fish with these guys make sure to book your trip early because they are in high demand and stay fully booked. I can not recommend them enough.
Had a blast fishing! We racked up on some red snappers and lots of other snappers! Brought home some Mahi Mahi also! Captain Scott did a great job takin us to the fish and his mate Justin was awesome. Super nice crew and took great care of us! We plan to come back!!
Great 6 hour trip. Certainly appeared that Captain Scott was working hard to find the fish we needed and wanted. Justin and the Captain had great communication and the overall trip was positive. Our only recommendation is to not do a 12 hour drive the day before you need to wake at 4:00am.
On time, great instruction, patient with our kids, plenty of great fish. Next time I would do the 8 hr for more fishing time. Would definitely recommend Scott and will definitely go again!
The Captain and crew of the Phoenix were top notch fisherman who took us on a terrific 10 hour trip. We had a party of ten and 7 of us were first timers.The red snapper were plentiful(16) and we also caught 7 Amberjack. The deck hand and Captain made it a point that everyone caught and reeled in their own fish. A great day was had by everyone.
Captain got us to some great fishing spots and the 1st Mate was on the spot helping getting things baited and on the boat. If we fish there again, would definitely use this boat again.
Three generation trip. All good, no complaints or even suggestions for improvement. Captain Scott pleasant, professional and very competent. First mate Justin very friendly and helpful, including to 12 year old grandson. Nice boat. And - oh yeah - we caught a limit of big red snapper and several nice size groupers. Deserves 5-star rating!!
Best fishing trip Ive ever been on! Caught so many massive fish and the crew made it a great experience.
Great trip with our group of six men. Captain Scott and 1st Mate Justin did an excellent job putting us on fish. We asked to catch enough fish to eat all week with our families and the Phoenix did the job. We would have had many more fish if the dolphins would have left us alone and not stolen our catches off the line. Many thanks to the crew and staff with the Phoenix.
Great crew and a great time! We did a 6 hour charter and caught a ton of fish! The crew made sure we had a great time and when we were done, they cut up our catch and packed it up for us!
Capt. Scott and Justin were top notch!! We went out Monday morning and had one of the best times that I can remember. Had a blast, even the bait fishing was awesome can't wait to do the 10 hour next time.
6 members of my family took a 6 hour fishing trip aboard the Phoenix and had a wonderful day , great Captain and first Mate , could not have been more helpful. Caught many fish. When we do it again it will definitely be on the Phoenix. Book early so you dont miss this boat.
WOW!!!!! Best fishing trip ever. We were impressed with the professional and friendly crew. Can't wait to go again in September.
We had an awesome time! The boat was one of the nicest and cleanest weve ever fished out of. The crew is very professional and very friendly. We decided to try some trolling and they put us on the fish! It was a blast and we made family memories well cherish forever. Afterwards they took care of all the fish and bagged them up! We highly recommend Scott for all your off shore fishing adventures!
Just WOW!! Not only is Destin great, but the Pheniox made the trip!! 4th trip in when we found Capt Scott and Justin for a day one the water! Justin is WITHOUT a doubt the best, relaxed and knowledgeable Deck Host we have ever had! And I think he admitted Capt Scott taught him all of it. LOL Great Boat, clean, and plenty of room for all. Capt Scott put us on the bait fish quick, and we were off to hit the open water. When he stopped the boat, the Amber Jack were begging for lines in the water. I think we were at limit in minutes! Then off to Bottom fish. Serious, best boat I have ever been on, and worth every penny. Side note, Capt Scott will have to bring ya back in, no matter how bad ya wanna stay out! Great job guys, we will be back, and already recommending the Pheniox!!
What a great experience! We could not recommend Charter Boat Phoenix any higher than superb. We had a blast. Great boat, great folks, great times! They put Us on the fish.
The captain and crew were awesome. They put us on some great fish. I will use them again for sure.
Both Captain Ben and First Mate Justin were awesome! My family had never been deep sea fishing before and they made us feel comfortable and we caught lots of fish! I definitely recommend!
Top Notch - I Book Yearly With Capt. Scott and Crew
We have been chartering the Phoenix for four years now and Captain Scott has never let us down. We have never left a fishing trip disappointed or unhappy. His deckhand, Justin, is the best in the business. He is always prepared for whatever tangle or mishap (or shark) that we encounter. Couldnt recommend Captain Scott or Justin enough.
My family has fished with Capt Scott several years and we are never disappointed. We fished with Capt Gary and first mate Justin on Saturday and it was a success again! We look forward to our next trip with the Phoenix!!!!
Great time fishing today. Reached limit in little over an hour. Have used the Phoenix several times over the years and never disappoint. Thanks for a great day of fishing!
A lot of fun great boat, great crew, big rewards. These guys do things the right way and it pays off!
Went out with Scott and Justin on 7/11/20 was a blast. On good fish immediately. Caught our limit and had to throw several back. Hooked up with an 8 ft bull shark, that was crazy battle. Will definitely go again anytime we are in Destin. Took home a load of fish and great memories.
Such a friendly group of people.. led us right to the fish and we ended up with plenty of fish to eat! Had a great experience!
Great time!!!
Awsome time spent with kids on the Phoenix with Scott and Justin, very knowledgeable and professional!
Had an awesome time. Everyone caught fish, but clearly mine won for likely the entire season
We had a fantastic fishing trip with Captain Scott and his crew . He knew right where to take us to catch the big fish . AND we did !! Wonderful time and would recommend this company to everyone . Thanks for such a great day !
We absolutely had a great time.. caught a lot of fish and captain Scott and Justin were outstanding.. we will definitely be back.. thanks for the great memories with family and friends..
We had a great fishing trip! Thanks for making our trip so much fun!
We done the 6hr trip. Everyone was really friendly and very helpful. There was 11 of us total and 7 of them being kids, they didnt lose their patience with anybody and made sure everyone was baited and in the water! They also filleted our catch for us in no time at all. I would highly recommend this charter!!
Booked the 4 hour trip with the Phoenix. We had 11 people onboard, and 7 of them were kids 14yrs old down to 5 yes old. Justin and the crew were awesome. They showed everyone how to fish the set ups, and everyone did great! All Justin and the crew had to do was bait the hooks and take the fish off. We had a great time getting to know the crew and captain, and they were a delight to be around. The time went fast, but we caught some great fish, and had some great fish tacos that evening. Next time we are in Destin, we will definitely book another trip with the Phoenix
Scott and Justin were great! We went as a family and novice fishermen, so they made the day enjoyable. Would definitely recommend them and we would book them again in the future.
Had a great day catching Spanish mackerel!
29 fish in 4 hours. Good day on the water. Great crew and a clean boat. Will come back again when in Destin!
We had a great time. I took 5 18yr old young men. Justin the first mate was great with them all. They found us fish to catch. Cant wait to do it again.
I highly recommend Charter Boat Phoenix with Justin and back up Captain Gary. We had an amazing trip one that my dad, my father in law and I will never forget. Justin and Captain Gary put us on fish all day long, we caught over 30 snappers and our limit of grouper. To top off the trip while trolling back to shore we caught a 12 to 13 foot blue marlin weighing and estimated 250 to 350 pounds. I highly recommend the 10 hour trip so you can go out farther and have a chance of catching higher quality snapper and grouper and maybe a fish of a lifetime.
Scott and Justin were awesome, very experienced. I was looking for a fish that would put up a good fight. Two 50lb amberjacks second one immediately after the first. Couldnt be happier, will be coming back third week of October.
Scott and Justin showed us a great time! Scott is very experienced and can locate just about whatever you want to catch. We couldnt have had a better trip!
Highly recommend the Phoenix charter boat! Capt Scott and Justin were the best!! We will definitely be back next year!
This was the absolute best time. We caught tons of big fish and a 70 pound amberjack. The captain and crew were the best. The boat has nice inside space where you can get out of the sun in air conditioning with amenities so you dont bake in the sun if you dont want to. It is best to take a non group private trip with them. We went on a group trip the day before and it did not live up to expectations but this made up for it 10 fold. Cant say enough. We will always remember and have pictures of everyone including my teenage daughter having a blast reeling in fish!
Captain Scott, Justin and and his crew are some of the best in the business. I have fished all over the world and these guys are top notch. We had eight kids and three adults and we caught more fish than we could handle. I highly recommend them and I will be back with my family to fish with these guys in the future.
Great six hour trip for Red Snapper. Caught our limit 3.5 hours into the trip. Captain and crew were great.
This trip was by far the best we have been on!! My family goes deep sea fishing (6 hour trip) every year. Capt Randy(fill in for Capt Scott) did not disappoint! Justin and Quintin where pros! Justin knew just the place to take us to catch our limit of red snapper at our fist stop ! My son even caught a hefty grouper!! The boat was pristine and AC worked great! These guys really take pride in their job! WE WILL BE BACK!
Captain Scott and Justin were great! We had experienced people and guys who never held a pole and they made it a blast for all. Caught our limit with time to spare.
Very friendly people and professional! They know their stuff. Will
Use again !! Thanks again
We had an amazing 10 hour trip with Captain Scott and Justin on the Phoenix! Our trip was towards the end of Snapper season so we were amazed by the size of our catch, the largest in the 25lb range. Add in Scamps and Yellow edge grouper, calm waters, clear skies, just the perfect day of fishing. Highly recommend Charter Boat Phoenix on a 10 or 12 hour for the serious anglers seeking the bigger fish!
Had a wonderful time fishing with Capt Justin on the Phoenix! Clean boat! Great mate! Highly recommend and will definitely be back!
Capt justin was phenomenal and the boat was spotless! The deck hand Quinton was so helpful to our inexperienced crew that had no history of deep sea fishing. We caught our limit of trigger fish and a bunch of mingos will out there. We had a blast and kept us laughing and made us extremely comfortable. Highly recommend and would go again!
Capt Justin and Quentin have been the best Charter boat team our family has ever chartered.
We deep sea fish atleast once a year in the OBX area. None of those teams come close to the professionalism, tenacity and friendliness of the Phoenix team.
Thank for giving this family the perfect ending to a week long trip.
50 total fish landed, mackerel, snapper and trigger.
Thanks again guys.
The NC hillbilly crew....lol
Went out on the Phoenix with capt. Justin on 4/22. I have been on a lot of charters but Justin and crew are the most professional I have ever been on. Justin and.first mate Quentin made the charter very very enjoyable . If you are in Destin FL. area looking for a fishing charter l highly recommend the Phoenix with Justin a excellent capt. and Quentin the best mate ever on a fishing charter. You will not be disappointed in their charter.
The best charter I have ever been on. We caught tons of fish, the boat is immaculate, Capt Justin, First Mate Quinton and Isiah were a great team. They explained the differences in the types of fishing. We caught large Amberjack, a huge King Mackerel, and too many to count other species. We did a 10 hour trip and it was amazing. Could not keep the several Red Snapper but if you are going in June you will keep yours!
first time riding with Pheonix
It was a beautiful day, soft and easy waves, smooth ride.
Justin & Clinton made it comfortable and fun. 55 boat! AC in the cabin! So nice.
There are so many rods and reels. They really know what theyre doing - they have anything you could possibly need!
May is a little slower season but we still had a fruitful catch! We caught a lot of fish right off the bat, amberjack especially, and we stayed out for 10 hours. But My favorite part was seeing dolphins and sharks (and the AC break) haha
Highly suggest using these fellas!!
we were catching fish all day! We couldnt keep up with all the fish we were catching. We had a blast! Thanks Charter Boat Phoenix!
Capt. Justin and First Mate Quinton are absolutely outstanding. We had some rough weather and some hungry dolphins, but Justin and Quinton did everything possible to make the trip a great one. Brought home a great catch and some lifetime memories. Second time going out on the Phoenix and it won't be my last. There's no reason to look at anyone else, this crew and this boat is the one you want.

Highly recommend using The Phoenix if you going fishing. Justin, Garrett, and captain Gary were awesome!!!!! This was my 1st time going deep sea fishing and it couldnt have gone better! We caught our limit on snapper, reeled in some grouper and caught a massive Wahoo trolling back. Justin has got an amazing thing going. He makes sure all of his customers are take care of 100 percent!
Very friendly people and professional! They know their stuff. Will
Use again !! Thanks again

This was the absolute best time. We caught tons of big fish and a 70 pound amberjack. The captain and crew were the best. The boat has nice inside space where you can get out of the sun in air conditioning with amenities so you dont bake in the sun if you dont want to. It is best to take a non group private trip with them. We went on a group trip the day before and it did not live up to expectations but this made up for it 10 fold. Cant say enough. We will always remember and have pictures of everyone including my teenage daughter having a blast reeling in fish!
Highly recommend the Phoenix charter boat! Capt Scott and Justin were the best!! We will definitely be back next year!
Scott and Justin showed us a great time! Scott is very experienced and can locate just about whatever you want to catch. We couldnt have had a better trip!
Scott and Justin were awesome, very experienced. I was looking for a fish that would put up a good fight. Two 50lb amberjacks second one immediately after the first. Couldnt be happier, will be coming back third week of October.
I highly recommend Charter Boat Phoenix with Justin and back up Captain Gary. We had an amazing trip one that my dad, my father in law and I will never forget. Justin and Captain Gary put us on fish all day long, we caught over 30 snappers and our limit of grouper. To top off the trip while trolling back to shore we caught a 12 to 13 foot blue marlin weighing and estimated 250 to 350 pounds. I highly recommend the 10 hour trip so you can go out farther and have a chance of catching higher quality snapper and grouper and maybe a fish of a lifetime.
Captain and first mate are top notch; they know all the best spots to get the big one.
I have been lucky enough to fish in the Gulf for years on many different boats. Our experience over the past 4 years on the Phoenix has been excellent, we do not fish with anyone else now. The boat is clean and comfortable. Scott and Justin make everyone, from new comers to the most experienced, feel very comfortable. These guys are the best in the business, I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys for the two great trips this year looking forward to next time.
Such a fun trip! Friendly crew and catered well to everyones experience level!! Would 100% recommend!!!
Scott hand his crew are the best... We have been on 3 trips with them and have another booked in 2 weeks. His 1st mate Justin is awesome he was able to keep up with 5 of us with no problem. We highly recommend taking The Charter Boat Phoenix for your next deep sea fishing trip...
We just got back from our 4th trip with Captain Scott and 1st mate Justin. Attached are pictures of our rewards...
Best charter service on the coast! We had a great afternoon catching monster red snappers with Scott and Justin. Looking forward to next year.
We had a awesome trip out with Scott. We look forward to our next outing
We have gone deep sea fishing for over 10years and weve always used Phoenix. Captain Scott is awesome and Justin is awesome as well. Its always over 8 of us at a time and we always enjoy our experience. Phoenix is clean and staff are very great. Weve already booked for next year.
Have been on many boats in my 72 years but once on the Phoenix I was "hooked". Captain Scott and First mate Justin always make it a great trip and we catch fish too!!! Recommend this boat to anyone! We have been back for 5 consecutive years and don't plan on stopping any time soon.
Great crew. Great time!
Just got off The Phoenix a little over an hour ago. Caught our full limit on a private 6 hour charter for 4. We have been booking with Scott and Justin for about 6 or 7 years now on our annual trip to Destin. My favorite day of our vacation for sure. Always friendly, courteous and professional and always put us on fish. The boat is always immaculate and the cabin is extremely comfortable for those who need a break. Whether you book private or group you are going to have a great day. We have done both. Highly recommend!
Great crew. Captain Scott and Justin was well worth it. I been fishing a lot, and this was a great team
Amazing offshore trip. Very helpful crew! Scott and Justin put us on the fish. Great even for first time fishermen! Will definitely book again!
This is the nicest boat in destin. The captain and crew are very professional! With a lot of years of experience. You will have the best time fishing with these guys!!! The make your trip a real pleasure!
Put us on fish two days in a row! They are good teachers to newbies and take care of everything with the exception of your snacks water and beer. You know its good when your forearms and biceps are sore for days afterwards!
The captain and crew where amazing. Great help and understanding for new experiences.
We caught fish all day to the point of being tired. Unbelievable to catch so many quality fish in cool weather. Clean boat. Great crew. I promise I will go back on the Phoenix over and over again. Caot. Scott, truly knows the Destin waters.
AMAZING boat! Very clean, wonderful captain and crew! Our family had a wonderful time and caught a ton of great fish! Highly recommend and will book this boat again!!!
Second to none!!! We had such a great day with the hole crew...I think they had a great day with our crew as well, WAS A BLAST!
Captain Scott, Justin and Quintin were awesome! Boat was super clean and tidy! They never stopped working the entire time we were on the boat, great teachers for the first timers we had! We caught sooo many tasty fish! These guys are rock stars! Then when we were done they clean/filet them and bag them up real nice for you to take home! Highly recommend!
Always an amazing trip with Phoenix! We caught sooooo many fish and the crew is great!
Captain Scott and crew gave us one of the most awesome fishing experiences we have ever had! I would highly recommend taking your friends and family on this trip, we got to see dolphins and the weather was fantastic. We got to take home lots of fish to eat for dinner! Hope to return soon!
Thank you for helping my son and giving him a great fishing experience!!! Caught some nice fish and he really had a blast!
Great fishing day with the crew of Phoenix. Very enjoyable with success at catching lots of fish
Great day of fishing. Captain Scott and First mate Justin had us on fish with the first stop. Very knowledgeable of the Gulf and all that it provides.
Book with these guys!
Great trip, great folks, exceeded expectations all the way around
Captain and mate were very helpful and accommodating. They put us on fish at every stop. We had a great time and will definitely consider them for future trips.
Hands down the best fishing experience we have ever had! We have used them two different times and will continue! They are friendly, fun, experienced, and make sure all your expectations are met! Worth every penny with these guys!! Cant wait to see them next trip!
Captain Scott and Justin put us on the fish all day. Cobia, snapper, grouper, king mackerel, etc.. They were great with our kids too. Highly recommend.
Great experience!
Best catch of the day in the harbor. Quality service, quality fish , quality boat and equipment. Family friendly. We would recommend this charter boat to anyone.
Comfortable boat. Captain knew where the fish were Justin the mate took excellent care of us
We Caught so many Fish. Great Experience. A Professional crew paying attention to details making all of us feel very welcomed. YOU can NOT go wrong booking with Capt. Scott and First Mate - Justin. If YOU looking for a very Professional Relaxed Fun time this is the BOAT for YOU.
We took our family out for the afternoon, including kids from 6-14 years old, to fish for red snapper. Captain Scott is an experienced veteran and knew right where to take us to make sure we caught fish. He was also flexible and since one in our party wanted to try for some Mahi-mahi he adjusted for us to take us to the best place for it since the waters had shifted and they hadn't been biting well. First Mate Justin was great with the kids (and adults). He was friendly and also professional. Keeping us fishing and even taking the time to answer the 278 questions my 6 year old son had for him. We caught out limit and had a great time doing it. Even though it was HOT (95+) the air conditioned cabin was a great retreat to keep us cooled and hydrated. If we come back to Destin to fish we will be on the Phoenix and will have no doubts about the lasting memories and experiences we will have.
Awesome experience. We had 4 younger kids with us and Justin loved having them on board. Im sure some other crews would be annoyed by the questions and inexperienced fishers but these guys were top notch. They put us directly on the bite and we killed it all morning. More fish then we know what to do with!
We had a larger group of 12. Captain Scott, 1st mate Justin and 2nd mate Julian are top notch. We caught plenty of fish. They rotated our group so that we all were able to catch fish, and did so in a very profession and patient manner which can be difficult with a larger group. Boat, equipment etc all very good. We are still talking about the trip and would recommend and use again. Thanks guys!
Will definitely book with Scott and Justin again!!!! It was my first time deep sea fishing. Unfortunately it rained the entire time and we had to cut our trip short because of bad weather. HOWEVER, I was super nervous about going out in the weather but Scott and Justin made us feel at home AND we limited out on our red fish within the first two stops. Captain Scott even indulged my love of dolphins and let me get video of one stealing my sons fish (son was not happy about this). We had 6 people and everyone got something. They even let us do some trolling closer to shore due to the weather situation. LOVED my first time going out and will be booking again!!! Thank you Scott and Justin. My family and I had a wonderful time!!!
Had a fantastic and successful fishing experience! Justin and Capt Scott put us on some great fishing spots. Ready to book my next one!
Booked this 6 hour trip for 6. Had so much fun pulling in one fish after another. The quality of the boat, captain and first mate were FIVE stars! Justin was quick, knowledgeable, and overall friendly! He made the experience even better.
Great trip every time!!!
Amazing day out on the water ! Great boat, great crew, and the BEST fishing experience Ive had. Thank you!
Great experience! Captain Scott put on fish all day long. If we hit a spot they werent biting or we were only catching small ones, he would move us to a another spot til we were catching good fish. Justin was great! Made sure we had everything we needed and new exactly what was coming up. Would definitely recommend these two. Will definitely book another trip as soon as possible!
FABULOUS trip. Thank you Justin for putting up with us. You guys are the best!
Great fishing trip! Took the 6 hour trip this morning and we had a blast. Had our two boys with us, ages 7 and 4 and the captain and 1st mate did an awesome job! The boys loved it and the cabin was great for them to take a short nap. This was our second fishing trip with them and wont be our last!!! Cant wait to book another trip next year which our boys have asked to do the 10 hr trip!! :)
I took my two son-in-laws and grandsons on our first deep sea fishing trip ever. Captain Scott and his first mate Justin did a fantastic job on making this an experience we will never forget. The Charter Boat Phoenix is a first class fishing vessel and well maintained by the first mate Justin. We were well taken care by this young man. Thanks Captain Scott and Justin for making this such a memorable experience!!
Best Charter experience for the whole family. Best Captain I have ever seen. Very knowledgeable about the area & where to get the best fishing experience. I would highly recommend this Charter for your fishing experience and all around fun.
DONNIE, SANDY & ALEXIS PARKER FROM VIRGINIA
Awesome!! caught plenty of fish, great captain and deckhand,
We caught a ton of fish and were extremely well taken care of! Would recommend for anyone wanting to fish out of destin area.
Awesome day. Capt. Robson put us on fish all day and FirstMate Justin helped and educated us through the fish battles. Really made for a memorable day. This was my 5th trip. Will come again.
Capt Scott and Justin did a great job of getting us on the bite. Had our boys with us and Justin did a great job with them. Boat was great for the kids and the crew was very professional and we had a great time. We will definitely go out again with them.
We took multiple teens with us, and Captain Scott and Justin could not have been more accommodating. They tailored our trip to exactly what we wanted. We caught multiple red snapper and grouper. They were fantastic. We will do it again with them next year! Thanks much to both of them.
Our family had another great day fishing on the Phoenix with Captain Scott. Fishing highlights included catch and release of a 100 lb Tarpon, a couple of massive Jack Crevalle, and our limit of some really big Red Snapper. Mate Justin could not have been nicer or more helpful. Ive been fishing with Scott for about 20 years and hes our only choice for Charters in Destin.
Caught lots of fish!
Great crew! We had a blast and reeled in some amazing fish. Captain Scott and Justin went above and beyond to make this a great experience
This is our 4th year with Scott and Justin. For the last four years our youngest has joined us and this year he got to reel in a snapper. We catch fish every single time and they are so accommodating. We tell all of our friends about Phoenix and the fishing experience. We cant wait to come back next year!!
What a great fishing experience! Took the 12 hour trip the week of July 4th and had the opportunity to catch two 45 -50 Amber jacks. Capt. Scott and Justin where awesome and a wealth of knowledge on where and how to catch some serious fish. Will definitely fish with them next time in Destin.
Great experience! We had a blast and caught tons of fish. The crew was extremely helpful, experienced, and family friendly. Best fishing charter experience weve had yet, highly recommend!!
Took a 10 hr trip targeting grouper and scored big. Also caught some nice red snapper, scamp and some huge amberjack(unfortunately, the AJs were out of season and went back). Captain Scott put us on the fish and Justin managed the deck expertly. Weve been with the Phoenix six times and they always deliver.
Excellent experience for the whole family. The Phoenix with Captain Scott and first mate Justin are a 1st class boat and crew in a crowded Destin charter fishing fleet. This was our 6th trip with them in the last 4 years and we will be back with them for years to come with out a doubt. If you want to fish with these guys make sure to book your trip early because they are in high demand and stay fully booked. I can not recommend them enough.
Had a blast fishing! We racked up on some red snappers and lots of other snappers! Brought home some Mahi Mahi also! Captain Scott did a great job takin us to the fish and his mate Justin was awesome. Super nice crew and took great care of us! We plan to come back!!
Great 6 hour trip. Certainly appeared that Captain Scott was working hard to find the fish we needed and wanted. Justin and the Captain had great communication and the overall trip was positive. Our only recommendation is to not do a 12 hour drive the day before you need to wake at 4:00am.
On time, great instruction, patient with our kids, plenty of great fish. Next time I would do the 8 hr for more fishing time. Would definitely recommend Scott and will definitely go again!
The Captain and crew of the Phoenix were top notch fisherman who took us on a terrific 10 hour trip. We had a party of ten and 7 of us were first timers.The red snapper were plentiful(16) and we also caught 7 Amberjack. The deck hand and Captain made it a point that everyone caught and reeled in their own fish. A great day was had by everyone.
Captain got us to some great fishing spots and the 1st Mate was on the spot helping getting things baited and on the boat. If we fish there again, would definitely use this boat again.
Three generation trip. All good, no complaints or even suggestions for improvement. Captain Scott pleasant, professional and very competent. First mate Justin very friendly and helpful, including to 12 year old grandson. Nice boat. And - oh yeah - we caught a limit of big red snapper and several nice size groupers. Deserves 5-star rating!!
Best fishing trip Ive ever been on! Caught so many massive fish and the crew made it a great experience.
Great trip with our group of six men. Captain Scott and 1st Mate Justin did an excellent job putting us on fish. We asked to catch enough fish to eat all week with our families and the Phoenix did the job. We would have had many more fish if the dolphins would have left us alone and not stolen our catches off the line. Many thanks to the crew and staff with the Phoenix.
Great crew and a great time! We did a 6 hour charter and caught a ton of fish! The crew made sure we had a great time and when we were done, they cut up our catch and packed it up for us!
Capt. Scott and Justin were top notch!! We went out Monday morning and had one of the best times that I can remember. Had a blast, even the bait fishing was awesome can't wait to do the 10 hour next time.
6 members of my family took a 6 hour fishing trip aboard the Phoenix and had a wonderful day , great Captain and first Mate , could not have been more helpful. Caught many fish. When we do it again it will definitely be on the Phoenix. Book early so you dont miss this boat.
WOW!!!!! Best fishing trip ever. We were impressed with the professional and friendly crew. Can't wait to go again in September.
We had an awesome time! The boat was one of the nicest and cleanest weve ever fished out of. The crew is very professional and very friendly. We decided to try some trolling and they put us on the fish! It was a blast and we made family memories well cherish forever. Afterwards they took care of all the fish and bagged them up! We highly recommend Scott for all your off shore fishing adventures!
Just WOW!! Not only is Destin great, but the Pheniox made the trip!! 4th trip in when we found Capt Scott and Justin for a day one the water! Justin is WITHOUT a doubt the best, relaxed and knowledgeable Deck Host we have ever had! And I think he admitted Capt Scott taught him all of it. LOL Great Boat, clean, and plenty of room for all. Capt Scott put us on the bait fish quick, and we were off to hit the open water. When he stopped the boat, the Amber Jack were begging for lines in the water. I think we were at limit in minutes! Then off to Bottom fish. Serious, best boat I have ever been on, and worth every penny. Side note, Capt Scott will have to bring ya back in, no matter how bad ya wanna stay out! Great job guys, we will be back, and already recommending the Pheniox!!
What a great experience! We could not recommend Charter Boat Phoenix any higher than superb. We had a blast. Great boat, great folks, great times! They put Us on the fish.
The captain and crew were awesome. They put us on some great fish. I will use them again for sure.
Both Captain Ben and First Mate Justin were awesome! My family had never been deep sea fishing before and they made us feel comfortable and we caught lots of fish! I definitely recommend!
Top Notch - I Book Yearly With Capt. Scott and Crew
We have been chartering the Phoenix for four years now and Captain Scott has never let us down. We have never left a fishing trip disappointed or unhappy. His deckhand, Justin, is the best in the business. He is always prepared for whatever tangle or mishap (or shark) that we encounter. Couldnt recommend Captain Scott or Justin enough.
My family has fished with Capt Scott several years and we are never disappointed. We fished with Capt Gary and first mate Justin on Saturday and it was a success again! We look forward to our next trip with the Phoenix!!!!
Great time fishing today. Reached limit in little over an hour. Have used the Phoenix several times over the years and never disappoint. Thanks for a great day of fishing!
A lot of fun great boat, great crew, big rewards. These guys do things the right way and it pays off!
Went out with Scott and Justin on 7/11/20 was a blast. On good fish immediately. Caught our limit and had to throw several back. Hooked up with an 8 ft bull shark, that was crazy battle. Will definitely go again anytime we are in Destin. Took home a load of fish and great memories.
Such a friendly group of people.. led us right to the fish and we ended up with plenty of fish to eat! Had a great experience!
Great time!!!
Awsome time spent with kids on the Phoenix with Scott and Justin, very knowledgeable and professional!
Great trip. Captain Scott knows where to go and Justin was on it helping our family have awesome experience.
Had an awesome time. Everyone caught fish, but clearly mine won for likely the entire season
We had a fantastic fishing trip with Captain Scott and his crew . He knew right where to take us to catch the big fish . AND we did !! Wonderful time and would recommend this company to everyone . Thanks for such a great day !
We absolutely had a great time.. caught a lot of fish and captain Scott and Justin were outstanding.. we will definitely be back.. thanks for the great memories with family and friends..
We had a great fishing trip! Thanks for making our trip so much fun!
We done the 6hr trip. Everyone was really friendly and very helpful. There was 11 of us total and 7 of them being kids, they didnt lose their patience with anybody and made sure everyone was baited and in the water! They also filleted our catch for us in no time at all. I would highly recommend this charter!!
Booked the 4 hour trip with the Phoenix. We had 11 people onboard, and 7 of them were kids 14yrs old down to 5 yes old. Justin and the crew were awesome. They showed everyone how to fish the set ups, and everyone did great! All Justin and the crew had to do was bait the hooks and take the fish off. We had a great time getting to know the crew and captain, and they were a delight to be around. The time went fast, but we caught some great fish, and had some great fish tacos that evening. Next time we are in Destin, we will definitely book another trip with the Phoenix
Scott and Justin were great! We went as a family and novice fishermen, so they made the day enjoyable. Would definitely recommend them and we would book them again in the future.
Had a great day catching Spanish mackerel!
29 fish in 4 hours. Good day on the water. Great crew and a clean boat. Will come back again when in Destin!
We had a great time. I took 5 18yr old young men. Justin the first mate was great with them all. They found us fish to catch. Cant wait to do it again.

His deckhand, Justin, is the best in the business. He is always prepared for whatever tangle or mishap (or shark) that we encounter. Couldn’t recommend Captain Scott or Justin enough.
Both Captain Ben and First Mate Justin were awesome! My family had never been deep sea fishing before and they made us feel comfortable and we caught lots of fish! I definitely recommend!
The captain and crew were awesome. They put us on some great fish. I will use them again for sure.
What a great experience! We could not recommend Charter Boat Phoenix any higher than superb. We had a blast. Great boat, great folks, great times! They put Us on the fish.
Just WOW!! Not only is Destin great, but the Pheniox made the trip!! 4th trip in when we found Capt Scott and Justin for a day one the water! Justin is WITHOUT a doubt the best, relaxed and knowledgeable Deck Host we have ever had! And I think he admitted Capt Scott taught him all of it. LOL Great Boat, clean, and plenty of room for all. Capt Scott put us on the bait fish quick, and we were off to hit the open water. When he stopped the boat, the Amber Jack were begging for lines in the water. I think we were at limit in minutes! Then off to Bottom fish. Serious, best boat I have ever been on, and worth every penny. Side note, Capt Scott will have to bring ya back in, no matter how bad ya wanna stay out! Great job guys, we will be back, and already recommending the Pheniox!!
We had an awesome time! The boat was one of the nicest and cleanest we’ve ever fished out of. The crew is very professional and very friendly. We decided to try some trolling and they put us on the fish! It was a blast and we made family memories we’ll cherish forever. Afterwards they took care of all the fish and bagged them up! We highly recommend Scott for all your off shore fishing adventures!
WOW!!!!! Best fishing trip ever. We were impressed with the professional and friendly crew. Can't wait to go again in September.
Excellent experience for the whole family. The Phoenix with Captain Scott and first mate Justin are a 1st class boat and crew in a crowded Destin charter fishing fleet. This was our 6th trip with them in the last 4 years and we will be back with them for years to come with out a doubt. If you want to fish with these guys make sure to book your trip early because they are in high demand and stay fully booked. I can not recommend them enough.
6 members of my family took a 6 hour fishing trip aboard the Phoenix and had a wonderful day , great Captain and first Mate , could not have been more helpful. Caught many fish. When we do it again it will definitely be on the Phoenix. Book early so you don’t miss this boat.
Had a fantastic and successful fishing experience! Justin and Capt Scott put us on some great fishing spots. Ready to book my next one!
What a great fishing experience! Took the 12 hour trip the week of July 4th and had the opportunity to catch two 45 -50 Amber jacks. Capt. Scott and Justin where awesome and a wealth of knowledge on where and how to catch some serious fish. Will definitely fish with them next time in Destin.
Capt. Scott and Justin were top notch!! We went out Monday morning and had one of the best times that I can remember. Had a blast, even the bait fishing was awesome can't wait to do the 10 hour next time.
Great trip with our group of six men. Captain Scott and 1st Mate Justin did an excellent job putting us on fish. We asked to catch enough fish to eat all week with our families and the Phoenix did the job. We would have had many more fish if the dolphins would have left us alone and not stolen our catches off the line. Many thanks to the crew and staff with the Phoenix.
Three generation trip. All good, no complaints or even suggestions for improvement. Captain Scott pleasant, professional and very competent. First mate Justin very friendly and helpful, including to 12 year old grandson. Nice boat. And - oh yeah - we caught a limit of big red snapper and several nice size groupers. Deserves 5-star rating!!
On time, great instruction, patient with our kids, plenty of great fish. Next time I would do the 8 hr for more fishing time. Would definitely recommend Scott and will definitely go again!
The Captain and crew of the Phoenix were top notch fisherman who took us on a terrific 10 hour trip. We had a party of ten and 7 of us were first timers.The red snapper were plentiful(16) and we also caught 7 Amberjack. The deck hand and Captain made it a point that everyone caught and reeled in their own fish. A great day was had by everyone.
Great experience! We had a blast and caught tons of fish. The crew was extremely helpful, experienced, and family friendly. Best fishing charter experience we’ve had yet, highly recommend!!
This is our 4th year with Scott and Justin. For the last four years our youngest has joined us and this year he got to reel in a snapper. We catch fish every single time and they are so accommodating. We tell all of our friends about Phoenix and the fishing experience. We can’t wait to come back next year!!
Capt Scott and Justin did a great job of getting us on the bite. Had our boys with us and Justin did a great job with them. Boat was great for the kids and the crew was very professional and we had a great time. We will definitely go out again with them.
We had a GREAT time. We did a 6 hour with our 4 boys and they loved it. Caught fish quickly! 1st Mate Justin was extremely knowledgeable and willing to answer all our questions. I would give them a 10 star! HIGHLY RECOMMEND choosing the Charter Boat “Phoenix”! Thank you Capt Scott and Justin!
Best Charter experience for the whole family. Best Captain I have ever seen. Very knowledgeable about the area & where to get the best fishing experience. I would highly recommend this Charter for your fishing experience and all around fun.

I took my two son-in-law‘s and grandson’s on our first deep sea fishing trip ever. Captain Scott and his first mate Justin did a fantastic job on making this an experience we will never forget. The Charter Boat Phoenix is a first class fishing vessel and well maintained by the first mate Justin. We were well taken care by this young man. Thanks Captain Scott and Justin for making this such a memorable experience!!
Great fishing trip! Took the 6 hour trip this morning and we had a blast. Had our two boys with us, ages 7 and 4 and the captain and 1st mate did an awesome job! The boys loved it and the cabin was great for them to take a short nap. This was our second fishing trip with them and won’t be our last!!! Can’t wait to book another trip next year which our boys have asked to do the 10 hr trip!! :)
Great experience! Captain Scott put on fish all day long. If we hit a spot they weren’t biting or we were only catching small ones, he would move us to a another spot til we were catching good fish. Justin was great! Made sure we had everything we needed and new exactly what was coming up. Would definitely recommend these two. Will definitely book another trip as soon as possible!
Booked this 6 hour trip for 6. Had so much fun pulling in one fish after another. The quality of the boat, captain and first mate were FIVE stars! Justin was quick, knowledgeable, and overall friendly! He made the experience even better.
We had a larger group of 12. Captain Scott, 1st mate Justin and 2nd mate Julian are top notch. We caught plenty of fish. They rotated our group so that we all were able to catch fish, and did so in a very profession and patient manner which can be difficult with a larger group. Boat, equipment etc all very good. We are still talking about the trip and would recommend and use again. Thanks guys!
Awesome experience. We had 4 younger kids with us and Justin loved having them on board. I’m sure some other crews would be annoyed by the questions and inexperienced fishers but these guys were top notch. They put us directly on the bite and we killed it all morning. More fish then we know what to do with!
We Caught so many Fish. Great Experience. A Professional crew paying attention to details making all of us feel very welcomed. YOU can NOT go wrong booking with Capt. Scott and First Mate - Justin. If YOU looking for a very Professional Relaxed Fun time this is the BOAT for YOU.
Best catch of the day in the harbor. Quality service, quality fish , quality boat and equipment. Family friendly. We would recommend this charter boat to anyone.
Captain Scott and Justin put us on the fish all day. Cobia, snapper, grouper, king mackerel, etc.. They were great with our kids too. Highly recommend.
Hands down the best fishing experience we have ever had! We have used them two different times and will continue! They are friendly, fun, experienced, and make sure all your expectations are met! Worth every penny with these guys!! Can’t wait to see them next trip!
Captain and mate were very helpful and accommodating. They put us on fish at every stop. We had a great time and will definitely consider them for future trips.
Great day of fishing. Captain Scott and First mate Justin had us on fish with the first stop. Very knowledgeable of the Gulf and all that it provides.
Book with these guys!
Great fishing day with the crew of Phoenix. Very enjoyable with success at catching lots of fish
Thank you for helping my son and giving him a great fishing experience!!! Caught some nice fish and he really had a blast!
We caught fish all day to the point of being tired. Unbelievable to catch so many quality fish in cool weather. Clean boat. Great crew. I promise I will go back on the Phoenix over and over again. Caot. Scott, truly knows the Destin waters.
Second to none!!! We had such a great day with the hole crew...I think they had a great day with our crew as well, WAS A BLAST!
Captain Scott, Justin and Quintin were awesome! Boat was super clean and tidy! They never stopped working the entire time we were on the boat, great teachers for the first timers we had! We caught sooo many tasty fish! These guys are rock stars! Then when we were done they clean/filet them and bag them up real nice for you to take home! Highly recommend!
AMAZING boat! Very clean, wonderful captain and crew! Our family had a wonderful time and caught a ton of great fish! Highly recommend and will book this boat again!!!
Captain Scott and crew gave us one of the most awesome fishing experiences we have ever had! I would highly recommend taking your friends and family on this trip, we got to see dolphins and the weather was fantastic. We got to take home lots of fish to eat for dinner! Hope to return soon!
