Destin's Premier Chartering Service!
Strike Zone Charters has been in business for over 38 years with charter yachts in Guatemala, Venice, LA, and now Destin, Florida. The founder of the company, Captain Gary T.

He is also the on-deck captain of the Strike Zone Too.
Strike Zone Too is a spacious 55 foot ocean yacht that can fully accommodate up to 6 anglers. There are 3 staterooms, 2 heads, a full galley, and a large main cabin. The entire vessel is fully air-conditioned. The main cabin is equipped with a 55-inch surround-sound satellite TV. Strike Zone Too is equipped with the finest tackle, safety equipment, and navigational electronics available. Strike Zone Too is one of the most luxurious charter yachts in Destin.
We can customize your fishing experience from a 4-hour to a 72-hour trip, so you have a wide range of options from which to choose.
Our crew is prepared to fill your expectations as well as your ice chests with some of the best bottom fish in the Gulf such as Red Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, Triggerfish, Mingo, and Cobia.
If you are more of the adventurous type and wish to fish 24, 36, 48, or 72 hours on a blue-water expedition, we can target Swordfish, Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Mahi-Mahi, and Tuna.
After a wonderful day of catching fish, our crew will be delighted to fillet your catch and refer you to one of our local restaurants who will prepare your fish to suit your tastes.
Bait, tackle, fishing licenses, and fuel are all provided by our crew. You should bring food, drinks, sunglasses, hats, sunscreen, and other personal items you may need.
Captain A.J. and his crew welcome you aboard with open arms on the Strike Zone Too for a fishing trip of a lifetime!
