Destin Fishing Charter Boat Just-B-Cause

This was my first time deep sea fishing in Destin. I rate my skills pretty highly catching bass and trout in freshwater but am a novice in saltwater. Captain Ken’s operation on the Just B’cause was top notch. From heading out in the a.m. to closing out the day eating the freshest Tuna sushi I’ve ever had, it was a great experience. The captain was fixed on the fish finder and getting us fish on line. And that we did by the dozens. The first and second mates were always there to assist and were completely on top of things. I set ego aside and took the extra hands baiting hooks… to ensure maximum baited catch time! It was just a blast. Lots of fish and lots of fun!

I had been deep sea fishing 2 times (West Palm Beach, Jamaica) prior to my trip with Captain Ken in Destin. These trips were underwhelming, only catching ONE fish and not enjoying the experience at all. This, combined with hurricane Joaquin barreling through the opposite coast, left me very pessimistic about my guys fishing trip on October 3.
My expectations were blown away — Captain Ken and his crew delivered big time! We arrived at Just-​B-​Cause and told Captain Ken what we were looking to catch. We hit several spots, each very rewarding. The crew was outstanding — extremely helpful and informative for us non-​experienced. They also had great stories to tell while we were traveled between spots. We all reeled in a large number of fish, some of which made the leader board at the Destin Fishing Rodeo. Everyone was pumped during the entire trip — it’s easy to get excited when you’re catching lots of fish with a great crew. The guys are still talking about the trip and looking forward to our next outing on Just-​B-​Cause. Thanks to Captain Ken and his crew for a memorable outing!

DO NOT USE! And more specifically DO NOT USE the Charter boat «Back Atcha» owned by a guy named «Trey».
Me and two of my buddies booked an 4 hour morning fishing trip through Destin Charter Fishing, a trip we had been looking forward to for months.
We booked several days in advance, arrived on time and paid. We were then directed to the «Back Atcha» slip. As we were about to board, another guy and his son show up at the slip saying they booked through «Trey» directly but hadn’t paid and had no record of ever booking.
Though we preferred to just have our buddies fishing trip, we would have been open to sharing our charter with the father and his kid, however the father, was not up for that and the boat was too small for 6 people. While they tried to figure out the double booking, it intially looked like they were going to take my party out since we had paid and had a record of our booking.
As the boat driver is on his cell explaining the situation to Trey, the father says, «Let me talk to Trey», grabs the phone and proceeds to talk his way in front of us. Next thing we know they are telling us «Sorry, Trey is taking the other party».
We were then given 3 options: Come back later that day, Come back tomorrow or take a refund. Due to conflicts we could not reschedule and were left with just getting our money back but had our fishing trip taken away due to the disorganization of Destin Charter Fishing and The «Back Atcha».
Do not use the «Back Atcha» and Destin Charter Fishing needs to do something about the bad business practices of the charter boats they represent.
I would not recommend any of them to anyone. Use another Charter service next time you want to book a fishing trip in Destin because ther is no guarantee you’ll get to go through this outift, even if you’ve paid and had a reservation.

Complete lack of customer service. Booked charter and cancelled due to very bad weather conditions (they should have cancelled but wouldn’t.) Agreement stated half fee if cancelled but charged full amount. Vulgar, rude and obnoxious service. DO NOT CHARTER! they WILL RIP YOU OFF!
