Destin and Dixie were the best! We had so much fun. Destin was a great captain he knew exactly how to make our boat day a great day. Would definitely book with Destin and Dixie again and will recommend him to any and everyone! Destin’s boat was so comfortable and clean. We had plenty of space for me and 3 other people. Water floats were perfect!
