FISHING
There is nothing more exciting than catching that first fish on your vacation and then experiencing the anticipation of catching the next one. Along the Emerald Coast, we have the Navarre Fishing Pier (the longest on the Gulf of Mexico), the fishing pier on Okaloosa Island, public-fishing piers on the bay and bayous, and the beach.
Should you wish to catch something big or a particular variety of fish, book one of our guides, charter fishing boats or party boats. The variety of trips includes bay, deep-sea, trolling, site, bottom, and from 4 hours to 10 hours overnight. Our fishing vessels here include fast-moving walk-around boats with a center console, and larger boats with cabins, air conditioning, and bathrooms. The fish you can catch include, but are not limited to marlin, shark, amberjack, grouper, snapper, king mackerel, redfish, trout, flounder, pompano, cobia,
