SPEARFISHING!
Destin Spearfishing Adventures:
Destin Spearfishing Adventures customizes each trip to match your personal needs and comfort level, ensuring that every guest has an extremely memorable experience. Choose from a variety of options, including inshore and offshore trips, or even private snorkeling and dive charters. Whether you’re a seasoned spearfisher or a first-timer, these pros provide the perfect setting for an unforgettable underwater hunt.
Offshore Spearfishing in the Gulf:
Offshore spearfishing is challenging and perfect for first-timers. Encounter marine life like grouper, snapper, triggerfish, amberjack, and mackerel, with chances to spot sea turtles and rays. Offshore trips face waves, currents, and weather, but Gulf visibility is excellent, requiring longer shots.
Inshore Spearfishing in the Gulf:
Inshore spearfishing can be as thrilling as offshore. Big Gulf fish like grouper, snapper, and mackerel move into the bays, along with sheepshead, bluefish, and mangrove species. Tides affect visibility, but reduced visibility lets you get closer to the fish. Trips can be done by boat or kayak in shallow water, so no SCUBA gear is needed.
