Destin, FL Outdoor Activities

S.E.A. Chase Watersports outfits oceanic explorers with kayaks and pontoon boats for leisurely exploration of Destin's waterfront. Nestled under a pontoon’s shade, instructors teach guests go over Emerald Coast boating rules. They then allow customers to set sail or kayak, cruising through the Choctawhatchee Bay to Crab Island, Noriega Point, or past Poseidon’s luxury yacht. Guests with fishing licenses and their own gear can rent the 18-foot pontoon boat, which is replete with fishing holders and a live well.

Established in May of 2009, TripShock.com was founded to create an efficient search engine where visitors could find resources to fully experience the Gulf Coast. The company currently offers more than 150 tours and activities in five popular coastal cities. Activities range from Creole-inspired dinner jazz cruises along the Mississippi River and scenic helicopter tours over Panama City to surf lessons in Destin. Travel enthusiasts can also gallivant around the website to find discounts, reviews, videos, and contact information for customer-service reps who are available 24 hours a day or the time it takes a Tasmanian devil to travel around the world while spinning on its axis.

Owned and operated by the tour guides themselves⎯Dave Posey and Scott Wells⎯Kayak Fishing Destin sends fishers and nature buffs on four-hour excursions across the warm waters of the Gulf. The seasoned sailors teach guests how to properly cast from their vessel before shoving off from the crystal-white sands and into the ocean to ensnare fine specimens of redfish, flounder, speckled trout, and mackerel. Kayak Fishing Destin outfits customers with all the equipment they need to capture a silvery fish, from six-pack coolers for chilling drinks to sea-shanty hymn books for mastering traditional kayaker songs.
