We have been blessed with amazing fall weather along the Emerald Coast and taking advantage of it on the water fishing. And, what a blast it is bringing the daily catch in at the Destin Fishing Rodeo! Be sure to check out this awesome annual community event lasting throughout October. Locals and fall guests have been bringing in the fish hot to the docks at Pelican Adventures and scales at the rodeo daily, let’s go fishing!

Destin is home to the largest fishing fleet in Florida and at Pelican Adventures we have boats for every type fishing trip you are interested in; private and group charters as well as party boat fishing. To view our fleet of fishing vessels at Pelican Adventures, click here.


Party boat fishing refers to a large group of people combined together on one boat to go deep sea fishing (also called “head boats”. There are certain characteristics of party boats that appeal to first time, and even seasoned anglers, including larger boats, a lower cost compared to other fishing charter options, and the type of fishing that party boats are known for. The Vera Marie is a 70 foot party boat located on the Destin Harbor at Pelican Adventures – click here to view the entire boat!

The Vera Marie is a great option for families to get out on the water as a group appealing to everyone’s comfort as there is a fully equipped and stocked galley and air conditioned salon, upper deck for sunning, restrooms and lots of walking around room. Our charters start at $59 per person and include FREE entry into the Destin Fishing Rodeo – fish with any of our boats throughout the month of October and you’re automatically entered.
