Best Fishing Charter?

I have some guests coming to rent our cottage in June and they asked me for recommendations for a fishing charter. We are in the Seacrest area. Do you have any recommendations that I can pass onto them? If I recommend a charter, I'll want it to be a very good experience for them, of course. Thanks!

I would steer them to one of the charters that run off of Grayton beach. Good experience, close by, less time driving to fish, and have always caught a decent amount of fish.

Deadfish or Tailhook charters are the best

I have been out with Captain Mike Valentino several times, always a great experience.

I can't get link to paste, but check out his web page, triggerhappyfishing.com

Captain Larry Pentel with Deadfish Charters - see his Sowal Fish Tales column on SoWal.com home page. Also Captain Mike with Trigger Happy Fishing. Both are very experienced with offshore fishing charters out of Grayton Beach.

here are their SoWal profile pages in the business guide with photos, info, etc. They also have good websites by Kurt...

These captains have been around a long time and know their fishing. Must book early though! There are a few more out of Grayton Beach who are experienced as well.

If you want a Destin or PCB fishing charter with boats going out of the harbor or marina, look at Captain Anderson's Marina or Destin Harbor!

We also like Captain Greg of Osprey Charters in PCB who will take you on a tour around Shell Island fishing, snorkeling, or just sight seeing. So many options.

Here is a fun video of Captain Mike Valentino (set to great music):
