Double D got us in the fish! Both Captains Paul and Eric hustled keeping bait on our poles and lines in the water. We caught trigger fish, red snapper, vermillion snapper, almoco jack,and remora. A beautiful dolphin made a surprise visit for several minutes too! Thanks to Double D for your hospitality!
From our inital online contact with the captain to end of our family day adventure, we had a great time making lot of memories.
We caught about 7 different types of fish during our 4 hr offshore trip. We caught a lot of Triggerfish, Red Snappers and few Amberjack. Amberjack was by far most exciting fish reeling in. All in all, we caught about 20+ fish. Unfortunately most of them are not in season or it was too small for us to keep. Captain also provided us a lot of information about the fish we caught and fishing techniques for our boys. We really enjoyed and appreciate the fishing experience from the Captain. Hopefully we’ll be back soon and book abother outing with them.

You guys and the boys did a fatastic job of catching fish. We appreciate you booking with us and look forward to visiting with y’al anytime yo find your way back to PNS. Safe travels and take care. Captains Paul and Eric Douglass
We went on a trip with Double D Fishing Charter, and despite the rainy weather, the captain made sure we still had a great experience. He adjusted our sail time to work around the rain and even stayed out past the allotted time since the first two spots didn’t produce keepers.
Eric and Paul were fantastic—when I lost my grip on the reel, they jumped right in to help, and they made sure everyone on board felt comfortable. Don’t be afraid to ask for a hand—some of these fish put up a serious fight!
They also went the extra mile by providing rain jackets, which helped us a lot in the weather, and at the end of the trip, they cleaned and filleted the fish for us to take home.
Overall, a great experience with a hardworking and friendly crew. Highly recommend Double D Fishing Charter if you’re looking for a charter that goes above and beyond to make sure you have a memorable day on the water.

Hi Shubie, Thanks so much for the kind words and the fantastic review. We’re happy to jump in anytime to lend a hand or pass on info that helps you guys enjoy the trip. We really appreciate you booking with usand spending your morning and some of your afternoon on the water with us. You and James pulled in a great hall and the big snapper and those mid 20s cobia really gave us a workout. Best of luck to you and James in your endeavors, your upcomming moves and of course all your future fishing trips. May the fish be biting wherever you drop a line! We look forward to y’alls next visit. Captain Paul

Duo captain/captain father/son Paul/Eric piloted the boat and prepared the fishing gears as well as helped baiting and removing the fish. They also educated us about the different type of fish.The meeting place is easy to find (need to book the parking through an app), Paul went through the pre-trip safety procedures before we took off … (we initially booked a 4-hr in-shore tour but they offered to take us off-shore with no extra charge), about over half an hour we stopped at an artificial reef (with only one bite), then go to the next (caught some), then the next (caught more), then the fourth stop where we caught red snapper left-and-right almost every time we dropped the line (totally 16 kept and at least 15 releases due to under-sized). Returned trip was about an hour, Paul + Eric cleaned the fish for us. I had taken a “party boat” fishing before but that had more waste time due to the large group of people dropping the lines and got tangled. Yes, the charge is higher for this trip but the memory is priceless. We strongly recommend Double D (D for Douglass) Fishing Charter.

Hi Nick,
Thanks so much for your kind review and for booking with us (almost a year in advance). We very much enjoy having families on Mermaid One with us and you guys were wonderful. Thank you also for the gift you made for us. It will be part of the treasure we hold dear from our time in the Gulf. Your family’s enthusiasm really bouyed the boat and helped make the experience what we strive to create. Thanks also for the stories of your beginnings in the United States and finally, thanks for the opportunity to meet your daughter, grandson, son-in-law and yourself. We wish you safe travels wherever life takes you and hope you find the fish are biting wherever you decide to drop a line. We look forward to seeing you guys again and wish you all the best of luck.

I surprised my husband with a deep sea fishing trip for his birthday, and it’s quite possible this will be the birthday gift from now on! We had SO MUCH fun. Unfortunately, Captain Eric wasn’t able to join us, but Captain Paul didn’t skip a beat. He put us right on a wide assortment of fish, and if there was ever a time that the fish weren’t biting, he didn’t waste ANY time getting us on the next spot. Some of what we were able to keep were Almaco Jack, Vermillion, Tile fish, Grouper, Porgy, and Red Snapper. We also hooked a Puffer fish and several Triggerfish that we were unable to keep due to them being out of season or too small. Captain Paul has a true passion for fishing and is more than thrilled to share his knowledge with others. His patience is top notch, as this was mine and my husband’s first time! I HIGHLY recommend Double D’s for anyone looking to have a great day on the water reelin’m in!!

Hi Cayci,
Thank you guys so much for booking with us and we’re more than glad that y’all had a great experience especially since it was a birthday celebration. Thanks also for booking the 5hr Federal Charter giving us more time on the water and a chance to drop our bait on less pressured and larger fish. The Almaco you guys caught was a jumbo! We appreciate the very kind words and detailed review. Safe travels wherever you guys are off to next and good fishing wherever you go. Looking forward to seeing you again any time you’re back on the Emerald Coast. Captain Paul
