It has a large fishing deck with an extremely knowledgeable crew that will do everything humanly possible to help you catch fish.

Emmanuel - Capt Larry Thomas - Destin,
FL
This vessel is a very nice Catamaran. It is a Party Boat but it is an excellent choice for a simple day trip. Every time I have gone out on this vessel I have come home with a very nice catch of Mingoes, Groupers, Red Snappers, and Trigger Fish.The crew is extremely knowledgeable and friendly, ready to assist you as needed.They have three different length trips for you to choose from. This is a Christian Owned Vessel there is no alcohol allowed onboard so it makes for a nice family atmosphere. This vessel is also Handicapped Accessible. They can be reached at : Phone (850) 837-6313 or by mail at: Emmanuel, Inc. 32 Countryside Dr., Destin, FL 32541.
Sea Winder - Capt Larry Thomas - Destin, FL
The Sea Winder is a very nice Charter Boat for 1-6 passengers. The crew is very helpful and knowledgable with the specialization in Bottom Fishing. When I went out we had a great catch of Red Snappers and Groupers, see the picture on my photo page. The boat is located at the Destin Fishing Fleet Marina and the Capt. also skippers the Emmanuel ask for Larry. You can contact him through the Emmanuel. this vessel is not as friendly to the Handicapped in that there are several steps up then down to enter the cabin, other than that it is a fine vessel and recommended for serious fishing.
Wet Dream - Pensacola, FL
This vessel is located in Pensacola near the Bayfront Auditorium. It is affiliated with the Scuba Shack. It is a nice vessel as far as a party boat goes however there is very little outside seating and very little room for getting around. I had difficulty maneuvering my way around the craft , it has a small cabin with seating. It is not my favorite vessel especially in rough seas. The Capt. was knowledgable and friendly and does take videos of the entire trip which he makes available to all who are onboard as a momento. The video lists all of the passengers and tries to capture each one catching fish. One pleasant memory of the trip is what was called the pinfish rodeo in which all going out are encouraged to help catch the live bait for the trip while at dock. We saw a lot of action with those pinfish.They can be reached at: Phone (850) 433-4319. This vessel is a fine Dive Boat for scuba diving and I would highly recommend it by reputation from talking with divers that utilize her.
