FEATURED DESTINATION
Okaloosa Island
Slip ashore to Okaloosa Island, a three-mile barrier isle of sugar-white sands and emerald waters. Wander coastal trails amid towering dunes at Henderson Beach State Park, or relax under shaded pavilions overlooking calm tide pools. Warm Gulf swells beckon swimmers and snorkelers to explore gentle surf and hidden sandbars.
Cast a line from the iconic island pier for tarpon, cobia, and king mackerel, or introduce the kids to hands-on exhibits at the Emerald Coast Science Center. Waterfront eateries serve fresh local seafood while seasonal fireworks dance overhead. Add Okaloosa Island to your charter itinerary for a perfect blend of natural beauty, family-friendly fun, and authentic coastal culture.

He’s your new bff on the water! Fun, years of training and experience, easy going! Even passed an unexpected safety expectation by local Coast Guard. He’s your go-to for a boat tour of the Destin/Ft Walton area!Posted on Currie STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Richard should be at the top of EVERYBODY'S list for Emerald Coast boat charters! Having done larger commercial excursions in the past, I booked Capt Richard for my family of 6 for a more private experience. During our trip, my 7 yr old asked me "Momma, do you know him?". I told her no and asked why. She said "He knows all our favorite stuff!". In the weeks leading up to our charter, Capt Richard did all he could to gather info about us to personalize our experience, having handed my kids Capri Suns and snacks, shown my dad and husband where to find their favorite soda, and given my mom a new duck for her Jeep! That aside, Capt Richard was professional, knowledgeable, and made us all feel perfectly safe in his hands as he took us around Destin Harbor. He interacted with my kids so sweetly, and even had a "Captain Trouble" hat for my son to wear! We couldn't have been more pleased with our excursion and captain, and will be booking Captain Richard when we return next summer!Posted on Blazing BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Richard was awesome! Me and my family took his charter to Crab Island as a first time experience!!!! He was very attentive and made sure we were comfortable!!!! I wish I could give more stars for his EXCELLENT service! 10 out of 10…I highly recommend!!!!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
