Default Chater Fishing Prices

Do you think it is a good deal? It is at the top of the poll , but $75 would be the price per person for a 8 hour trip leaving from Destin.Sorry for that this is the first poll I've put up.It is on a 65' walk around with twin 600hp deisels.50 person cap but limited to 25 for these trips for more room for anglers.

Sounds way cheap to me, given the $$ of fuel! The boat I went out on last is$125, up from $85 last year! Didn't go outto the edge either! Would I drive from P'cola to Destin just to save $50? After truck gas $$$ and time, probably not. As always, the true value comes from the quality of the Capt and crew, and can they put you on the fish!?????

P.S. Fish cleaning was NOT an extra charge!!!!

The Captin and the crew have been very successful in relation to some of the other compareable charter, I can direct you to some of the pics from last trip.It was originaly $150 per person but with a max of 10 anglers, just wondering if we cut the price in half and raised the count to 25 if it would fly.I get what your saying about the drive from Pcola , I drive a suburban from GB to Mary Esther everyday and it's killing me.

i guess its the swoop or the american spirit right? problem about the edge is that snappers are closed so good luck with groupers there. the captains have been going southeast lately because the west isnt producing this year. anyway the crew and the captain are really good it really doesnt matter which party boat you take- i know most of them and they are all good guys. i can recommend you olin marler charter. they offer party boat trips and you either go with greg or bruce marler or tommy klosterman. all of them are top notch.

$1500for an 8 hr on a65' to the edge? Doesn't make sense. They won't make any money. I could be wrong but I think you're going to get what you pay for on this trip.
