Deep sea fishing is our heritage from whence the City of Destin sprang. This industry is directly responsible for Destin gaining
its reputation as The World's Luckiest Fishing Village. This distinction truly sets Destin apart from all the others and is a
reputation galvanized by the largest and best charter fishing fleet in the State of Florida. We are Hooked On Destin and charter
fishing 365 days a year... shouldn't you be!
-- Craig Barker, Destin Mayor
