47’ Chris Craft Sportfishing Charter – Ultimate Offshore Adventure

Our Chris Craft Sportfishing Boat is a federally permitted charter vessel, fully equipped for serious offshore fishing in Destin and beyond. Powered by twin Cummins CTA 450 diesel engines, it delivers a smooth, reliable ride to deep-sea fishing grounds at around 17 knots.

Setup for Some Serious Fishing
W40-foot outriggers that means we have a higher chance of catching as we can get more lines in the water at once. We utilize top of the line Furuno chartplotters, and multi-beam sonar for detailed seabed imaging, meaning we maximize every opportunity to put you on fish.

Our Boat is Internet Connected
We have Starlink Internet that keeps you connected even when we are 90+ miles offshore. Not only can that help you stay in contact with people on the shore, its an added feature in an emergency situation.

Lets Have Some Fun

We have a premium sound system, with the ability to stream music to enhance your time on the water.

Fishing in Comfort
With spacious deck space, comfortable seating, A/C, sleeping quarters, and an onboard bathroom, this vessel is perfect for both serious anglers and families looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure.

Safety is Important to Us
We prioritize safety with a Coast Guard-approved life raft, EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon), VHF Radio, life jackets for all passengers, and first aid kits. Our crew is trained in emergency procedures, and our vessel undergoes regular inspections to meet all maritime safety standards.

Join us for a world-class offshore fishing experience—where power, technology, safety, and comfort meet!
