The Boat Behind the Experience
The boat you fish on matters. We run a two-boat fleet built for the way we fish Destin — the Reel Lucky, a 25′ Sea Hunt BX 25 BR rigged for inshore and harbor work, and the Cape Horn 31t, a 31’8″ deep-V built for serious nearshore trips. Both are kept in top shape and outfitted with the gear you’d want on a full-day charter on the Choctawhatchee Bay and Emerald Coast.

Destin Inshore Guides is proud to run the Reel Lucky, a 2018 Sea Hunt BX 25 BR. As one of the largest bay boats in the Destin area, the Reel Lucky provides plenty of room for your group. The Carolina flair that Sea Hunt boats are known for delivers a comfortable, dry ride every trip.

Every great fishing trip starts with the right platform. Our captains run a two-boat fleet built specifically for full-time charter fishing on the Emerald Coast. The Reel Lucky — a 2018 Sea Hunt BX 25 BR with Sea Hunt’s signature Carolina flair — delivers a dry, stable ride and the room to chase redfish, speckled trout, and flounder in Choctawhatchee Bay, plus kids charters and harbor cruises. The Cape Horn 31t is our nearshore boat, with twin 2023 300hp Yamahas, full electronics, and the hull to run snapper, grouper, kingfish, and amberjack within the 9-mile line.
A high-performance fishing charter boat makes a difference. More space, better stability, and a guide-focused layout mean less time adjusting — and more time fishing. In Destin, conditions can change quickly between the bay, the pass, and the nearshore waters.
Having the right boat ensures a safer, smoother, and more productive day on the water.
Our fleet is built by two of the most trusted names in saltwater fishing boats. Sea Hunt Boats — builder of the Reel Lucky — is known for their Carolina flair, deep-V hulls, and dry, stable rides. Cape Horn — builder of our 31t — has been hand-laying tournament-grade nearshore hulls in Georgia for decades. Both boats are designed to handle real fishing conditions, day in and day out, in Destin’s bays, beaches, and nearshore waters.
