Veteran Owned
Family Business
Captain Bob is a retired US Airforce veteran. Retirement led him from Kansas to the Destin area. He has more time for his family and his dream of moving to the Emerald Coast with his wife and starting a fishing charter.
The MADALY (named from their two daughters (Maddy and Aly) is a 32’ World Cat center console Catamaran. There are twin Suzuki 350 engines that easily accommodates up to 6 guests. The boat features a live bait tank, a cooler, a private toilet, GPS and a 96" Rodan Trolling Motor. So even a full day trip will be a comfortable one.
We specialize in family fishing. Kids of all ages are welcome and we have life vests in all the right sizes. Your safety and fun are Capt. Bob and his crew’s main concern. They want this to be a memorable trip.
Depending on what you want to catch and where the fish are we go up to 9 miles offshore. Closer to the shore you’ll encounter Red Snapper, Amber Jack, Redfish, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Ruby Reds, and Mahi Mahi. Each trip can be adjusted to your needs, so let the captain know how you envision your day out.
All your fishing gear is included. There’s bottled water on the boat but feel free to bring other beverages and snacks. Don’t forget your sun protection and sunglasses. After the trip, your catch will be cleaned, and the fresh meat bagged for you.
These trips are weather dependent, but we will keep you informed of any change needed for your scheduled trip.

Near Shore Fishing
