Captain Michael King consistently delivers exceptional fishing results, with customers regularly reaching their limits in record time. One group caught 45 Spanish Mackerel in just the first hour, while another hit their limit within 60 minutes of starting. Michael's expertise shines through his strategic recommendations - like suggesting trolling over bottom fishing - that lead to fast and furious action. His knowledge of Gulf waters produces impressive catches including 25-pound blackfin tuna, red snapper, triggerfish, and even sharks that create unforgettable highlights for families. Customers consistently describe Michael as the hardest working captain they've encountered, even compared to international charters. He welcomes families warmly, allows kids to take charge of the experience, and maintains a laid-back approach that keeps everyone comfortable. Many guests specifically mention his readiness - having the boat running when they arrive early and being available for last-minute bookings. Customers regularly plan return trips for tuna season and recommend Michael to other anglers seeking Gulf fishing expertise.

We had a fantastic day deep sea fishing in Destin. The captain and crew were friendly, professional, and dedicated to making sure everyone had a great time from start to finish. They got us on fish early and stayed attentive throughout the trip, helping with bait, tackle, and landing fish whenever needed. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, making for an enjoyable day on the water. What impressed us most was the crew’s knowledge and experience. They knew exactly where to fish and kept the action going throughout the trip. Whether you're a seasoned angler or trying deep sea fishing for the first time, this charter provides an enjoyable and memorable experience. We caught plenty of fish, shared some great moments, and left with memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Destin. We look forward to fishing with them again soon.

Captain Michael and his first mate were outstanding from start to finish. Both were knowledgeable, professional, and made the entire trip enjoyable. Their experience showed as they kept us on productive fishing spots all day and were always ready to help whenever needed. The fishing was excellent. We limited out on Red Snapper and Triggerfish, and also landed Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, and plenty of Vermilion Snapper. There was never a dull moment, and the action stayed steady throughout the trip. If you're looking for a fun and successful day on the water, I highly recommend booking a trip aboard My Chance with Captain Michael. Great crew, great fishing, and an unforgettable experience all around!

Captain Mike and the Hiliner delivered an outstanding fishing trip for our group of five, including a teenager and two younger kids. Even with less-than-ideal conditions during a red flag week in the Gulf, Captain Mike put us on fish from the very first stop and kept the action going throughout the trip. His experience and knowledge of the local waters were obvious from the moment we left the dock. He knew exactly where to go, adapted to the conditions, and made sure everyone had a great time. The kids especially loved the nonstop fishing and excitement of reeling in fish all day. The fish we brought back were only a small portion of what we caught. We released many more that were either out of season or not the species we were targeting, so expect plenty of action if you book a trip with him. As an added bonus, Captain Mike recommended a nearby restaurant that offered a hook-and-cook service. They prepared our catch perfectly, and it was one of the highlights of the entire experience. If Captain Mike has an opening, don't hesitate to book it. He's a knowledgeable captain, great with families, and works hard to make sure everyone leaves with incredible memories. We couldn't have asked for a better day on the water. Thanks again, Captain Mike!

We did the 4 hour trip cause it was our groups first time and we had some younger and older members. Mike did a great job showing us the ropes and getting us on the fish. Since we were a shorter trip we didn't get to check out all the fishing spots but will definitely try again and try a longer trip.

Captain Mike and his crew were awesome. Mike knew where the fish were and we were on them probably 95 percent of the time. Deck hand Blake keep my daughters poles baited and the girls engaged longer than they normally have been. We did a 6 hour trip which is perfect for my family. Started at 6 and was able to get some beautiful pictures of the sunrise and was back by noon with a cooler load of fish. We will definitely be using My Chance charter and Captain Mike again.

We had a great time fishing with Captain Michael and Blake, they did an excellent job making sure that our deep sea experience was a success. Captain Michael kept us on the fish all day and Blake made sure our hooks always had bait on them. Really can’t say enough good things about our whole trip, we just kept catching fish over and over again!! The boat was comfortable and had plenty of room for us to move around while Captain Michael took us out to sea and back. Captain Michael is friendly, knowledgeable and a professional and we definitely recommend him to be your Captain too!

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Captain Michael King was the best. Even if we hadn’t caught fish this review would still be a 5 star because of this guy. If anyone is ever planning a trip I strongly urge you to book with him. On the way back in was able to talk to him about what I should do in the future when we come back and do this again so I’ll give you some advice, book at least a 6 hour trip. We did the 6 and we will be back to do the 8+ hour trip. I can’t say enough on how great of an experience this was. Thank you Capt. King

Fishing with Captain Mike was awesome. My wife and I have 4 kids between ages 8 to 17. Everyone had a great time...my youngest said “this was my favorite thing we did on vacation!” Captain Mike worked hard to make sure we enjoyed ourselves and had a good haul. He knew exactly where to go and we caught a ton of Spanish mackerel. It was a very windy day so we had to stay in the harbor and inlet but it was still a great time. I highly recommend chartering a fishing boat with Captain Mike. Thanks for a great morning and some awesome family memories!

We booked a 4-hour trip at the last minute before our vacation ended, uncertain if it was available. Captain Michael was ready to go, and when we arrived early, he already had the boat running and called us on board! He quickly got us on the fish, and we ended up catching more than we could handle. We had a fantastic time, the weather was perfect, and we caught a bunch of fish. What more could you ask for?

The moment the sinker hit the bottom, it was "FISH ON"! We all had an amazing time and will definitely be back for Tuna season. Captain Michael is the hardest working captain I've ever seen, and I've been on many charters, including some overseas. Thank you, Captain Michael! We'll see you again!
