Reservations for this free fishing trip start on Friday, October 1 and will remain open until the slots are filled.

Harbor Docks Charities is hosting the 26th Annual Take-A-Kid-Fishing Day on Sunday, November 7, 2021. 

For the last 26 years, local children have spent a day fishing aboard 50 of Destin’s finest charter boats. There are 300 openings for kids that do not often get the chance to fish in the beautiful waters around Destin, including the Gulf of Mexico and Choctawhatchee Bay. 

  • Off-duty policemen and firemen from Destin and Fort Walton Beach, as well as other Harbor Docks Charities Volunteers, will be the chaperones on these professional charter boats.

Reservations for this free fishing trip start on Friday, October 1 and will remain open until the slots are filled.

  • This is for children from 7 to 13 years old.
  • To make a reservation or get additional information call Harbor Docks at 837-2506, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday and ask for Jackie. 
  • Pre-registration is required.

Harbor Docks will assign a boarding time when the reservation is made.  The first group of approximately 150 kids will be signed in at 7am and the second group will be signed-in at 8am. All children will receive a t-shirt, rod and reel as well as a family fish fry.

Teachers, policemen and firemen who are interested in volunteering or chaperoning, please contact Jackie at Harbor Docks 837-2506.
