    Late to the boat

    6-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared on July 15, 2026 • 10 adults • 4 children

    We had a few people who coukd not get out of bed for 730am. So we were running behind. We got a text at about 720 to make sure we were coming. Which made the trip seem personal. They did not just assume we were not coming. We had a large party of ten half should up just in time and the other half was 8 minutes late. the staff was very kind and did wait knowing we were on our way. we are so grateful they waited for us. We had a great time on the boat and caught a bunch of fish. The ride was rought and people definetly got sick as the ride out is about ine hour and 30 minutes. I would not reccomend taking this trip of you are easily prone to motion sickeness. Otherwise I would highly recommend this trip.

    Amazing first time!

    6-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared on July 5, 2026 • 13 adults • 4 children

    We had 13 in our group and all enjoyed ourselves! Nate was our favorite, he was ingaging, and had a great sense of humor. We will definitely be back to see the crew on the Sweet Jody! I would recommend this trip for kids over the age of 10 yrs old that are independent with most tasks and have some fishing experience. If you bring younger kids that require losts of help/engagement, be prepared to provide the support instead of fishing yourself. The fish are caught and then taken off by the crew members very quickly. This crew provided our novice fishing members plenty of support! Thanks guys! Best, B

    5-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared on August 5, 2026 • 7 adults • 2 children

    The Captain and crew are amazing! They wee very helpful, laughed and joked with us, I even got to help a little lol. Nick, Clay, and "Bama," were the best!!!!!!!!! We caught 60 something fish I believe. I didnt realize we could take beer on the trip, so if you drink def pack your icechest. Also take cash, my phone died so quick and I had no way to tip them, which is how the crew makes their money, I did however send later to their cashapp. Hands down amazing! We seen other crews on the dock and no one seemed a friendly as ours.

    Phenomenal experience!!

    6-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared on July 29, 2026 • 3 adults

    This crew did a phenomenal job at making sure the customers were having a great time. Their willingness to help and interact with the clients definitely didnt go unseen. Special thank you to Mr Steve as he was a top class deck hand. His kindness in noticing my sister having a rough time not feeling well and made her whole trip in a quick hurry catching two red snappers. That was very much appreciated and wont be forgotten! We will definitely be booking with yall again! Keep up the great work!

    Great first trip

    5-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared on July 8, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We left out at 2:30 pm and headed about 1 hour into the Gulf. Crew mates Jackson and Blake explained the strategy and then before you know it we were fishing. my 7 year old instantly caught trigger fish and ruby lip while older boy was cranking them in as fast at he could retrieve the 1lbs weight and sometimes 2 fish on the same drop! Jackson, Blake , and captain Aaron were awesome, very knowledgeable and very helpful! Multiple big fish were hooked up but only few mad it in. Overall a great time!

    Beat day of my life!!

    6-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared on June 7, 2026 • 2 adults

    We caught several fish and our crew were amazing! We caught more than we expected and the dolphins and little flying fish we seen was a bonus! The crew did a phenomenal job at assisting everyone. this trip is great for people of all ages! Id advise something for sea sickness if you are prone to that but overall an amazing time!! We will be booking agian in the future and perhaps take the 8 hour adventure. They also do dolphin tours if you’re not into fishing!

    Great Time!

    4-H Trip Great For Beginners Shared on April 7, 2026 • 2 adults

    I recently went on a fishing trip that turned out to be an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Everything about the trip exceeded my expectations—the water, the action, and especially the people. The crew and captains were absolutely top-notch. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable, having fun, and actually catching fish. You could tell they genuinely cared about giving us a great experience, and it made all the difference. The atmosphere on the boat was laid-back but professional, and they were always quick to help, offer tips, or just share a good laugh. Whether you’re experienced or new to fishing, they make it easy to enjoy yourself. It’s rare to find a group that works so well together and keeps the energy positive the entire time. This trip is something I’ll be talking about for a long time, and I’ll definitely be making it a priority to do it again. If you’re thinking about booking a trip, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it. Thanks Again Sweet Jody Crew !!!

    Our trip with Steve and Nick on Sweet Jody was unforgettable!!!

    6-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared on January 19, 2026 • 8 adults • 2 children

    we had an awesome time! our family of 8 with the youngest being 11 had a great time. Steve and Nick were so attentive and helpful! They answered all of our questions and taught us so much. Steve got a shark and a giant red snapper on his line and let us help reel them in. We had so much fun!!! We were able to keep most of the fish we caught (some we couldn’t keep because they were out of season). They cleaned and filleted the fish for us. We will definitely do this again! Thanks Steve and Nick!!!

    Why pay more ??

    6-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared on September 21, 2026 • 2 adults

    Superb from start to finish. Why pay more ??Easy to find, easy parking (charged), great crew, loads of catches - Mingo, Trigger, Mackerel, Perch. Skipper determined to find the good fishing grounds. Catch cleaning/ prep service available once back at the marina for a very modest cost. Take a cooler, drinks and food.

Amazing trip and the kindest captain and crew!!!
5-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared on June 23, 2026 • 2 adults

Could not get better bang for your buck anywhere in florida. The ship is lovely and the captain and crew go above and beyond to ensure everyone on board is having the best time. The crew is there to help anyone of any skill level always moving around the whole boat to help everyone unhook their catch quickly so you can grt your lures back in the water to catch more fish. The captain keeps the boat moving and tells everyone how far off the bottom to fish so everyone always has the best chance to catch a fish. We came home with a TON of fish (even a red grouper!!) that the crew filleted for us on the docks. Definitely a memory we won’t soon forget:)

Had the BEST time!
6-H Trip – Deep Sea Fishing Shared on May 15, 2026 • 3 adults

I've been on multiple "party boat" fishing excursions all over Florida. Sweet Jody and her crew were by far the best we have been on in every way. The ship was clean, well-maintained, and well-appointed for a day of fishing. The crew was approachable, patient, kind, and proactive in helping. The captain was quick to move on from a spot if no fish were being caught or nothing that could be kept. The crew cleaning the fish at the end of the trip were efficient and did a great job! I will 100% be fishing again with Sweet Jody next time I'm in the Destin area. Thank you to Sweet Jody for an amazing day and memories to last a lifetime!
