All charters include ice, licenses, all needed tackle, cut or frozen bait, instruction, and a great time so bring a camera!
Not included are a gratuity or food and drinks, but bottled water is always provided for those not bringing a cooler of their own.
Live bait is included if we catch it, which usually takes approximately 45 minutes (depending on several factors), or you may purchase it that morning out on the “bait banks” for $30-$40 for a four hour trip, $50-$60 for a five or six hour trip and $80 for an eight hour trip. Many people like to buy bait quickly and get underway to the fishing grounds while others enjoy catching the bait themselves, but catching the bait takes time so if the bait boat is out there and “packing”, it is a better value to just buy it and head out, but that is up to the customer. If you catch the bait and it takes 45 minutes to catch it, you paid approx. $170 for the bait based on time and per hour rate so purchasing live bait when available is a very good value. Live bait usually has to be procured every morning as it doesn’t survive overnight in the warm water of the Destin Harbor.

Cancellation Policy
Customer Cancellation
We understand that things happen and schedules change, but we are a seasonal charter operation and cancellations can cripple our business. Cancellations must be made 7 days prior (or longer) to your charter date to avoid any charges. Cancellations less than 7 days notice will be charged $200 deposit. No-shows will be charged the full charter rate for the booked trip.
Weather Cancellation
We are a weather-dependent business and most of the summertime we have beautiful weather with seas 3 feet or less, but if weather such as rough seas or thunderstorms threaten, the captain will cancel the trip and we can try to re-schedule. No money is owed or charged for a trip canceled due to weather, your safety is our priority. Only the captain can make a weather decision as to trip cancellation.

“I have had many anglers through the years choose to go with Double Time Charters solely because it is a catamaran style vessel, which doesn’t rock and roll from side to side as much as a monohull boat in the same conditions, and the higher sides provide a drier ride as well.”
