Destin Harbor is home to one of the largest charter fishing fleets in the United States. Scientifically, the underwater 100 Fathom Curve draws closer to Destin than to any other spot in Florida — creating the speediest deep-water access on the Gulf. For this reason, fishing is one of the staples of Destin’s economy.

On any given day charter boats stream in and out of the Harbor via the East Pass carrying eager sport fishermen on the way out, and heavy lines of fish such as red snapper coming back in.

Destin Harbor Boardwalk, at the west end of the docks, is a bustling shopping and dining complex. Walk down the docks in the afternoons to see the weighing-in of the day’s catch from Destin’s charter fishing fleet.

Boating is a big part of Destin's active lifestyle and community gatherings. Take to the seas on a dolphin excursion cruise along the East Pass. Or, indulge the pirate within you and cruise on the Buccaneer pirate ship,
