With over 250 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews and multiple Angler’s Choice Awards, Salty Endeavors is proud to be one of the top-rated family fishing charters in Fort Walton Beach and Destin.

Spend the day fishing local hot spots on this family-friendly fishing charter where the fish are always biting. Our family fishing trip option is a great time for the whole family! (Kids are welcome). This trip is very flexible, so feel free to request any custom adventures, such as dolphin cruises, sunset cruising, visiting the Destin harbor, and/or Crab Island. This is the perfect combo that gives everyone a chance to fully enjoy their time out on the water!

Salty Endeavors specializes in family-friendly fishing trips designed for kids, beginners, and first-time anglers visiting the Emerald Coast. We offer 3-hour kids trips for families with younger kids (10 years or younger) to help introduce your young angler to saltwater fishing.

For families with kids 10 or older, we would recommend our 4-5 hour family option, as this will allow you more time on the water to target bigger fish and explore more of the local fishing hotspots.

If you are a more experienced angler and wish to target some larger fish species, please feel free to check out some of our offshore fishing options: HERE

Our private family fishing charters create a safe, fun, and stress-free experience where families can enjoy time on the water together while catching fish.

You may have the chance to catch:

-Snapper (Mangrove, Lane, Vermilion)

-Grouper (Red, Gag – seasonal)

Our goal is to keep the rods bent and give you the best shot at both action and quality catches, ensuring the whole family has a great time!

Our trips depart from Adventure Marina in Fort Walton Beach, just minutes from Destin Harbor, making it one of the most convenient pick-up spots in town.
