If you want to experience all that you believe deep sea fishing can offer. ISTRONGLY recommend the three day trips. Our group had the best time and got to fight some large fish. The crew was amazing, friendly an VERY WELL educated. Our group (me) still made mistakes but that was on us novices. I will rebook in the future for nothing less than three days. Thank you captain Mike, captain Dave, Greg, an Casey; see you next year. OHHHH YEAH ONE LAST THING. Wish I had read up on HOW TO USE A OFFSHORE REEL hahahaha but now i know.

We booked a day trip, CPT was great, crew did an amazing job with a large crowd, super thrilled. Really enjoyed the experience, if a spot got slow - we moved! Kept us on fish all day! Thanks again!

My wife and I fished on the Lady Em today & had a great day! Thanks to Paige, who booked the trip for us & was extremely helpful. The Lady Em is a beautiful, large boat that handles the water better than other charter boats we’ve been on. The boat is very clean & well equipped. Capt Mike was unable to fish today, but we are very grateful that he arranged to have his colleague Capt Travis fill in to keep our trip on as planned! Travis put us on fish consistently all day, and Mates Greg & Casey were outstanding. Very nice, friendly, & helpful guys that made it a day to remember. And they gave us great tips for local restaurants that will cook our fresh catch, and a market that is shipping our remaining fish back to our home! We will definitely be back next summer with the whole family!

The Lady EM was one of the greatest days I’ve had in a long time. My family had a great time. Mike and Casey put us right on the fish. Casey did a great job of helping the kids out. Overall, I could not have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend them for your next fishing trip!!

I’ve used several charters in Florida and Texas and I’ll say that Capt Mike and Greg were among the best. They went above and beyond to put us on fish. The weather took a few turns but it’s a big boat and a great captain so we had no problems at all. Every time the boat stopped we were on fish as soon as we got a line in the water. Paige was great in handling my reschedule and kept us informed along the way. Kudos to this team.

Top notch captain and first mate. Very knowledgeable. Handled the weather well. Didnt waist time at dead spots. Just moved on until we caught fish. Worked well with young kids and made it fun.

These guys are great! Experienced and professional!👍Super with help and advice. Very patient and friendly with the kids. No doubt one of the best!

Weve been out on the Lady Em twice for 10/12 hour trips. Captain Mike & Eric do a great job not only putting you on fish but also keeping lines in the water. Our most recent trip had 9 people fishing off the back and Eric handled this no problem despite a few Bonita inflicted wrap ups. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words and these guys are always the first call when booking!

3 day trip was awesome! From sun rise bottom fishing for Amberjack and Grouper to fishing the oil rigs for Tuna in the middle of the night captain Mike kept us on the fish around the clock. Catch an hour or two of sleep when you can because when the boat stops you are on the fish. Deck Hands Greg and Casey work nonstop to keep everything running smooth. Absolutely No complaints .our group of 8 from Ohio can’t wait to do this again.

Best charter boat in Destin!!!!

Witnessed Lady Em coming in and almost running over multiple Pontoons around 1:30 today.

This boat is hands down the best!! We have been fishing with captain Mike and his crew for years. He always puts us on the fish and always have a great time. The crew is awesome with children!! They are very patient, kind and willing to help however they can. We love The lady em!! Thank you for always making our fishing trips a fun and memorable experience. Look forward to many more trips in our future.

Did a 10-hr trip with Captain Mike and Greg last week and had a fantastic time. Unfortunately Mother Nature (specifically Hurricane Hannah) was forming in the gulf and had the water stirred up. This was the first time offshore for 4 of the 6 in our group and the crew really focused on keeping us on the fish and teaching the newer anglers the ropes. We ended up with a mixed bag of snapper, cuda’s, and a grouper but an abundance of priceless memories and photos. I definitely recommend the Lady Em’ and will be fishing with them again on our next trip. Many Thanks Mike & Greg, you guys are awesome!

The Lady Ed with Captain Mike and crew are a first-class charter ideal for any excursion, whether it be a novice 4-hour trip or a full day adventure for the seasoned veteran fisherman. I had a party of 7 for a 6-hour afternoon trip about 15 miles off the coast of Destin. Captain Mike and first-mate Danny were awesome. Great guys, absolute pros and know how to put the boat on the fish. While this isnt necessarily an inexpensive charter (220-250 per hour), my wife and I both felt it was well worth the cost as the craft is very nice and includes amenities (great AC, kitchen, sleeping area, etc). We caught fish nonstop the entire time we were at sea. Let me tell you, Mike wants his customers to catch fish. If they arent hitting, he moves to where they are. We caught a bunch of red snappers including a 22-pounder. I caught a 6 150-pound Dusky Shark. Ive fished the ocean before but never caught a shark. It was an exhilarating experience. Since the Dusky population is at risk, we let it go which I was more than happy to do.Captain Mike was actually one of the first people I talked to about booking a charter when I arrived in Destin. He provided me an honest overview of the options available to me. Isnt a salesman or slickster. Honest, straight-up Captain who was up front about all particulars from the cost of his and other charters to how anglers were faring out there of late. Just an overall good guy and quality outfit. We will likely return to the Gulf Coast for vacation in the future. Rest assured, Ill be calling Mike, looking for him to get us out on the fish again. I would highly recommend Lady Em, Captain Mike and crew. First-class operation for sure.7 people > total out the door cost - $1450.00. This came out to about $210 per person. As I mentioned previously, my wife and I agreed it was worth every penny.Aaron from Ohio

Captain Mike, 2nd captain John, KC and Greg were fantastic! We had a great time and caught a ton of fish. I won’t fish with anyone else. They were prepared, helpful, and very skilled at what they did. A 36 hour trip is the way to go. I would recommend no fishing charter service higher! Thanks To Mike and the crew!

Capt Mike and Greg were awesome! The Lady is a real fishing boat; Huge open area to fish and plenty of room to walk around. Will definitely be returning when we come back to Destin !!!

All I have to say is just wow how rude of a crew.

Capt. Mike & 1st Mate Greg took excellent care of us. Kids (14/12/8yrs old) had an absolute blast. Perfect for that deep sea family fishing experience. They kept us hooking up and laughing along the way.

Been on the 3 day twice. Cant say enough good things about the boat and crew. You will catch fish with them, period. Ive been out for Tuna and for bottom fish with success. Give Captain Mike a call, tell him generally what your goals are, and hell formulate a plan that works, or hell tell you what options may be better based on the bite. Ive fished all over on all kinds of boats, but Ive never been more comfortable while slaying the fish. Its nice to take a break and catch some college football in the A/C. The food is great, and the crew is top-notch. Its worth paying the price to go with professionals when it comes to safety and success. These guys are pros.

We took an all day trip with Captain Mike on Lady Em on April 15. Mike and crew were extremely accommodating and put is on the fish all day. They were knowledgeable about where to go and how to read the patterns of what was on the hooks to move when we needed to. Lady Em has plenty of room and makes the day even more enjoyable.When you are ready for an awesome day of great fishing, do yourself a favor and book Captain Mike and Lady Em!

Awesome boat and crew!! Would highly recommend to anybody looking for a great fishing trip. Mike put us on the fish and Casey kept everything flowing beautifully. I will definitely be fishing with them again next time in Destin. Thanks for everything guys!!!

We recently went out over spring break for a fathers/sons fishing trip and had an excellent time. Captain Mike and first mate Eric are first class as well as the boat that they operate. All of the boys were asked at the end of Spring break what was their favorite activity and all said the fishing. I highly recommend Captain Mike and Eric!!!!

Excellent three day trip. Id recommend them to anyone. Thanks to the captains and crew from the guys from Indiana.

We have been fishing the Lady Em for 20 years and they keep getting better. Had a great time this week. Thank you very much!

Had a great day on the water w captain Mike and Eric! Caught a bunch of fish from the first drop til the last minute. Very classy outfit.

Our family had a great time fishing on the Lady Em! Captain Mike and Eric were great. Caught so many fish. Thanks for a fantastic day.

Best fishing boat in the Fleet. Captain Mike Eller.

We just returned from a 3 day fishing charter with Captain Mike Eller and fishing vessel Lady Em. BEST FISHING EVER! If you are into serious fishing, then this is the trip of a lifetime. Words cant describe how good this trip was from start to finish. Not just the fishing, but the overall experience was fantastic. Ive fished my entire life and booked several of these charters in and out of the country. Nothing compares. Captain Mike kept us on fish the entire trip and continually mixed it up from bottom fishing, trolling, drifting, etc.We departed from the harbor on Saturday night and returned Tuesday afternoon. We arrived to a spotless well prepared boat with top notch tackle. We had a back up Captain (Super Dave) and 2 deck-hands. The boat itself is as good as you will find. Massive 65 off shore fishing boat that handles the waves great. Plenty of room on the boat to fish without getting tangled. I always worry about bait on these trips, because live bait is the key when fishing deep water and catching big fish. No worries here. The bait live-wells were completely full of live bait and more than enough for 3 days. The crew is a well orchestrated machine. The 2 deck-hands (Eric & Kasey) are easily the best Ive ever seen. Captain Mike never asked these guys to do anything. They just do it! They know exactly whats expected and were spot on the entire time. The crew got very little sleep and worked nonstop to keep us on fish and keep the boat spotless. We never waited on bait or tackle like some of the trips Ive experienced in the past. We were able to fish from 4:30am until almost midnight. Coolest experience ever. I could go on and on.If you are considering a single or multi-day fishing charter in the Destin area, then book these guys! You will not be disappointed. Thanks Captain Mike, Eric, Kasey, and Super Dave. Truly appreciate you guys and all you did for us. We will definitely book with you guys again.

Went out for a 2 day charter with cpt mike and he had us on fish the whole time and deck hands Eric and Casey were awesome hope to do it again

We took 13 family members and had the absolute best time! Amazing captain and crew, and caught more fish than we knew what to do with! Some good eating ahead of us!!

Just completed a 3 day trip on the Lady Em. It was my 3rd trip on her and it was exceptional just like the first 2! Captain Mike, Eric, and Casey work their butts off to put you on the fish. We limited out on Amberjack, caught a bunch of Grouper, and some Mahi, Snapper, a Wahoo, a Swordfish, and a couple of sharks. The average Amberjack weight was 40-50 lbs with some about 70 lbs! Just an incredible trip with an incredible crew. I highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed!

Great Trip! Mike and Eric did a Great Job! I would recommend Lady Em to all my friends and family!

Best fishing ever! Big thanks to Captain Mine and his Crew Danny and Eric! HaulOf a lifetime!

Boat was perfect fishing was awesome, truly felt like we were fishing with buddies

Excellent captain and crew

Amazing time
