Captain Chip Sanders has built something special here, earning consistent praise as both an expert fisherman and genuinely good person to spend a day with on the water. Reviewers repeatedly mention his down-to-earth personality and how he makes the entire experience enjoyable, not just productive. He knows exactly where to find the fish and delivers on results, with multiple groups mentioning limits caught quickly and plenty of fillets to take home. His flexibility shines through too, like calling clients back after weather clears to give it another shot. Families particularly appreciate Chip's approach. He's patient with kids and teenagers, taking time to teach them and letting them reel in their own catches. Multiple reviews highlight how accommodating he is for different needs and skill levels, celebrating every catch with genuine excitement. Operating out of AJ's on the Bay (where you can get your catch cooked) provides a convenient alternative to the busier Destin Harbor. The consistent theme across all feedback is that Chip delivers exactly what he promises and makes it fun along the way.
Our Airbnb host, Chantelle, recommended CodeBlue Fishing Charters and Captain Chip while we were staying in Destin, and we couldn’t have been happier. We were a little nervous about letting our 16-year-old grandson and his friend, go deep-sea fishing without us, but after talking with Captain Chip, I immediately felt at ease. He has a laid-back personality while also projecting experience, confidence, and professionalism. The boys had an amazing time, caught fish, and loved every minute of the trip. It was a special experience for them to do something so “grown up” on their own. I also appreciated how easy Captain Chip made the entire booking process. He stayed in touch with me by text while they were out on the water, which meant a lot and gave me peace of mind. Learning that he’s also an OR nurse only reinforced my confidence that they were in good hands. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable captain who is great with teenagers and genuinely cares about his clients, I highly recommend Captain Chip and CodeBlue Fishing Charters. Thank you for giving the boys an unforgettable adventure!
