Our Fleet

Our fleet consists of two specially designed vessels, each tailored to provide an unparalleled fishing experience. The SURE LURE, our flagship vessel, is a spacious 40-foot Infinity Sportfisher with a sturdy fiberglass hull, cockpit, enclosed cabin, custom-built Tower with full controls, outriggers, and downriggers, and up-to-date marine electronics and navigational equipment. Powered by a pair of 350 horsepower Caterpillar diesel engines, the SURE LURE is able to get to where the fish are biting with ease.

On the other hand, our FISH DISH, a sporty 21CC Sailfish, is perfect for inshore and flats drifting, trolling, anchoring up, and fly fishing. With its efficient 115 hp Johnson outboard gas motor, updated Garmin Fish Finder and GPS, radio communications system, live well, fish cooler, plenty of rod holders, and a bimini top for shade, the FISH DISH is an ideal choice for small parties of up to 4 anglers.

Meet the Captain

At the helm of our fleet is Captain Don Dineen, a lifelong resident of the Destin area with over 30 years of professional boating, fishing, and maritime experience. As a US Coast Guard certified vessel master licensed to skipper up to 100 tons, Capt. Don is well-versed in the habits of various species of fish in the Gulf waters and knows the best techniques to find, hook, and land the "keepers." With over $500,000 in tournament winnings, Capt. Don is an accomplished angler and serious contender who values "Safety First" and is committed to providing an exceptional fishing experience for all our guests.
