Us
Welcome to Captain Richard Boat Charters LLC—your gateway to personalized Emerald Coast adventures. Below you’ll find our story, mission, and commitment to safety, service, and unforgettable memories.
OUR STORY
A Legacy Forged on Destin’s Waters
Long before Captain Richard Boat Charters LLC ever set sail, Richard was a young boy exploring Destin’s crystal waters alongside his grandfather and father. Those early mornings chasing baitfish turned into a lifelong passion—one that led him to earn his U.S. Coast Guard license, Sea School certification, and CPR/First‑Aid credentials. Over 30 years and more than 600 charters later, he’s logged upwards of 1,800 nautical miles annually, guiding families and friends on unforgettable dolphin watching tours, sandbar hopping excursions, and barrier island eco tours.
From that first “wow” moment when a pod of dolphins danced alongside the bow to guests uncovering the hidden “Mermaid Mailbox” on Navarre’s shores, each voyage has shaped who we are today: a small‑group charter company rooted in genuine care, local know‑how, and a spirit of adventure.
