Absolutely amazing experience! We made great lasting family memories. The captain was amazing, knowledgeable, and patient with my 10 year old son. Will definitely be using them in the future.

Double d fishing you wont regret it! Incredibly professional and kind people who know there fish and will take great care to make sure you have a good time!!!

Captains Paul and Eric were great from the moment we stepped onto the boat. They were prepared for everything; from needing to borrow a pair of glasses to having rain jackets for the nice shower we got on our trip. They got us onto the fish and were incredibly helpful with anything we needed. This was the first offshore trip for 3 of the four in our group and both captains made sure that it was an experience to remember for all of us! We will definitely be booking with them again next year!

We had a great trip with DoubleDFishing, they were amazing guides. Very helpful and kept us on our toes the whole time. I’m looking forward to next time!

We had a great trip! Despite Tropical storm Bertha captain Paul did everything he could to make sure we got our trip In while we were in town. He and Eric were both very helpful, courteous and very professional. They also were able to put us on the fish! If you’re looking to book a trip out of the Pensacola area you should definitely book with Double D! We will be making it an annual trip!

Great trip with Captains Paul and Eric. They worked hard to get us on fish and we had a blast. Great communication before and after the trip. Caught good eaters and big fighters too. The 6 hr trip allowed us to find fish in deeper water. Highly recommend them and can’t wait for the next trip.

Caught LOTS of fish! Professional and friendly crew. The best fishing charter we have been on and we have been on many. Book this charter and you wont regret it. Highly recommend.

My father and I had an incredible experience with Paul and Eric! From the moment we stepped on the boat, the two were friendly, professional, and extremely welcoming. The boat was well kept, clean, and docked with one step onto the side of the boat and then one step in, so fairly easy access. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, constantly checking in to see if we needed anything, and making sure we were having a great time. We felt comfortable asking for anything we needed, and really didn’t have to bring a thing, they had everything covered! Water, jackets, toilet, life vests, plenty of bait, poles, licenses, etc… (unless you wanted a snack out there!) The fishing was excellent— we rode about 40 minutes off the inland and caught a fish on every cast.. some in season, some not, some keepers, some not. Overall we had a fish on at pretty much all times. The two took great care of us. We also saw so much marine life, which made the trip even more memorable. We got our fish cooked at Shaggy’s immediately after! Blackened red snapper and had everything else fried. Hush puppies and fries on the side! If you’re looking for a fishing charter with great customer service, a hardworking crew, and an unforgettable experience, I highly recommend Double D Fishing!!! Can’t wait to book another trip! Thanks guys (:

We had an excellent time. Paul and Eric were able to get us into fish every time we stopped. They were helpful and patient with us and really helped my 10 year old have a good time. I would recommend them every time.

Top-notch fishing experience. Very knowledgeable and helpful

Double D got us in the fish! Both Captains Paul and Eric hustled keeping bait on our poles and lines in the water. We caught trigger fish, red snapper, vermillion snapper, almoco jack,and remora. A beautiful dolphin made a surprise visit for several minutes too! Thanks to Double D for your hospitality!

This was by far the best charter experience I've had in this area. Captain and Mate are very conscientious of customer comfort during all aspects of the trip. They worked non stop to keep us on fish. We quickly limited on Vermillion Snapper and caught 6 other species. Can't say enough good things about them. They are the only charter I will use going forward.

Very professional, organized and got my group on the fish. Had a great day out and will be back with this crew again.

Super professional. Lots of laughs. Tons of fish. Have booked twice and will definitely book again. Highly recommend!

Above and Beyond: A Memorable Day with Double D Fishing Charter We went on a trip with Double D Fishing Charter, and despite the rainy weather, the captain made sure we still had a great experience. He adjusted our sail time to work around the rain and even stayed out past the allotted time since the first two spots didn’t produce keepers. Eric and Paul were fantastic—when I lost my grip on the reel, they jumped right in to help, and they made sure everyone on board felt comfortable. Don’t be afraid to ask for a hand—some of these fish put up a serious fight! They also went the extra mile by providing rain jackets, which helped us a lot in the weather, and at the end of the trip, they cleaned and filleted the fish for us to take home. Overall, a great experience with a hardworking and friendly crew. Highly recommend Double D Fishing Charter if you’re looking for a charter that goes above and beyond to make sure you have a memorable day on the water. We went out again this past weekend, weather forced a change from Saturday to Friday, and Captain Paul was extremely accommodating throughout. He put us right on amberjack, spadefish, and quality vermilion snapper. His expertise is evident, he’s dialed in, knows the waters well, and consistently puts you on fish. Another great experience, I highly reccomend

Captain Eric was awesome! He took my son and I to some great spots. We caught a lot of fish, including a 31” red snapper and a 35” amberjack. We had a lot of fun, would definitely recommend it!

Caught a ton of fish even a couple real big ones, captain and mate were very knowledgeable and we got more than enough fish to take home 10/10 would recommend

This is our second time with Paul and Eric. I thought it wouldn't get better on second time but they out preformed and nail it. Thanks Paul and eric

Paul and Eric were both professional and personable. Very friendly. We had a group of four, two of which were women. They mentioned they were more comfortable with Paul and Eric than amy other guides we have fished with previously. They were also both a wealth of knowledge for local fishing areas we could explore on our own as well as local businesses to visit for dining and such. Heck, I think we may even met some new friends. We would highly recommend them and look forward to our next visit with them.

We had an amazing experience with Paul and Eric Douglas! They were incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, and they made sure everyone in our family felt comfortable and included the entire trip. They were patient, kind, and so much fun to be around, which made the day even more enjoyable. We caught several red snapper, vermilion snapper, trigger fish, and even an amberjack—an unforgettable experience! On top of the great fishing, we saw lots of dolphins and even some man-o-war, which was exciting for the kids. If you’re looking for a professional, friendly guide who truly knows what they’re doing and creates a fantastic family experience, Double D Fishing Guides is the way to go. We can’t wait to book another trip!

It was my first time for all 4 of us , my son and two grandsons on a 24 footer boat so far out in the ocean. Captain Douglass and his son made us very comfortable on our way out, while we were out there and on our way back. They are a very professional and knowledgeable team. I have never caught so many fish in one day much less four hours. We all had a blast. Thank you Captain Douglass we will be back.

We had absolute blast fishing today! Paul and Eric are great. Party of three and there was a fish on every time we dropped our lines. Brought us to plenty of fishing locations that had various species. They were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable! Would highly recommend Double D Fishing Charters for anyone looking to catch fish and have great conversations about the local area and history.

Captains Paul and Eric were very knowledgeable in all aspects! From watching the weather, to ensure a safe charter, to changing locations, baiting hooks, and cleaning our catch, they were amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a better team to take us out. We highly recommend Double D Fishing Charters and will use them again!

Weather wasn’t in our favor but they worked with our vacation and we were able to get out still on the best possible day we were there. It still rained but the fishing was amazing. Best charter any of us have ever been on and will definitely be booking again. Both Captains were amazing and super knowledgeable

We were fortunate to find Double D for our fishing experience while in Pensacola. They provided everything we needed! Our trip out in the gulf was a little bumpy but they gave us some jackets ro wear to keep us comfy. There were many fish species hooked and released due to size and season, but it was fun catching them plus we learned about air bladders and Florida rules and regulations. We went home with 2 Grey triggerfish that Eric and Paul filleted and skinned perfectly. The pictures attached are 2 meals we enjoyed. Fish and eggs for breakfast and fish with a lemon beurre blanc topped with fried capers served on a bed of sautéed spinach with sweet potato cubes. We also caught and released 3 large amber jacks! It was a fabulous day spent on the water with the father and son team!!! You won't go wrong booking with Double D Charters!!!

Excellent charter fishing experience! We booked a 4 hour experience for me, my husband, and our 8 year old daughter. They were courteous, very knowledgeable, and accommodating. They did a great job at helping our daughter catch fish so she had a great time. We even stopped to see the Blue Angels practicing on our way back into the dock. Great time!

These guys are great! I have booked many charters with my family and I have had varying experiences, but these guys were tops across the board. Communication, Preparation, Equipment, Methodology, Attentiveness, Safety... All of it was beyond anything we have experienced and that added up to a great day on the water with a lot of success! Take advantage of their off-shore option and you likely won't be disappointed. Will book again any time we are in the area!

Fished for 6 hours with Eric and Paul for my sisters birthday, it was a great time and we caught a ton of fish. Would highly recommend these guys, they are locked into the producing fishing spots and the action was pretty much non-stop the entire half day trip.

Had an awesome day out with Captains Paul and Eric! They got us on fish fast and made the whole trip fun and easy, especially for the first-timers in our group. Super knowledgeable and professional — can’t wait to book with them again!

An amazing fishing trip! I went with my two kids, guided by Eric and Paul—a father-and-son team whose passion and generational knowledge shine through. Everything was organized, smooth, and stress-free. They knew their stuff, answered every question, and made it fun and relaxing. We caught plenty of fish and can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful fishing trip. Stayed on the fish and limited out. Eric and Paul were very knowledgeable and kept lines baited and fish off the hooks as soon as we pulled them in!! Will definitely fish with them again!!

Went out this evening on a trip with Eric and it was a great trip. Went out to fill the cooler and he made the trip a success. Anyone looking for a very informative charter and looking to catch I highly recommend

Me and my 2 buddies had an epic time with captain Paul! He was super generous, kind, and patient. He made sure we caught plenty of fish. He took us to multiple spots and provided cold water. We will be booking him again next time we’re in Pensacola/Gulf Breeze area

Great experience! Captains Paul & Eric were fantastic. Their first priority was safety & their second was getting us on the fish. Highly recommend!

I surprised my husband with a deep sea fishing trip for his birthday, and it’s quite possible this will be the birthday gift from now on! We had SO MUCH fun. Unfortunately, Captain Eric wasn’t able to join us, but Captain Paul didn’t skip a beat. He put us right on a wide assortment of fish, and if there was ever a time that the fish weren’t biting, he didn’t waste ANY time getting us on the next spot. Some of what we were able to keep were Almaco Jack, Vermillion, Tile fish, Grouper, Porgy, and Red Snapper. We also hooked a Puffer fish and several Triggerfish that we were unable to keep due to them being out of season or too small. Captain Paul has a true passion for fishing and is more than thrilled to share his knowledge with others. His patience is top notch, as this was mine and my husband’s first time! I HIGHLY recommend Double D’s for anyone looking to have a great day on the water reelin’m in!!

Review for Paul and Eric's Fishing Experience I recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing trip with Paul and Eric, and I can't recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. Both Paul and Eric showcased an incredible passion for fishing and genuinely cared about ensuring their clients had a memorable time. Their extensive knowledge of fishing techniques and local hotspots really elevated the trip. I learned so much from them, which made the experience not just enjoyable but also educational. Plus, we came away with bags full of fish, making for a successful day on the water! If you're looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure, look no further than Paul and Eric. Their dedication and enthusiasm are truly unmatched!

Captain Paul and Eric were great. Very attentive while fishing and put us on the fish. We had a blast with these guys and look forward to booking again next year when we visit Pensacola.

3/26/2025- Paul & Eric of Double D Charters NW Florida- I would like to Thank You Both for the wonderful job you both did on my fishing trip. I was Super comfortable from the very start. The way you taught and explained the new techniques with ocean fishing. I plan on making this work on some fish back home. It was incredible the number of different species this technique worked on. Your Boat and equipment was top notch. I felt like I walked away with 2 new friends. Thank you for the local history and trip account of the many places we fished and many varieties of fish that were caught. I can't Thank you both enough. Guy Olson

Had an absolutely great experience with Captain Paul and Eric. Communication was prompt, on time, boat was great and they went the extra mile to make sure my mom had a wonderful first inshore experience. Snagged some sheepshead, specs, reds, and bass. Paul was gracious sharing knowledge of the area and fish movement (I’m a local). Would not hesitate to book Double D again and I’d encourage you reading this review to do the same!

This group of charter fishermen are top notch! Thank you very much for everything you did for us- We had a blast🙌

Lucky to have found them! Amazing trip! We had a really nice time taking our boys (11 & 13) on their first salt water charter. Paul and Eric were extremely knowledgeable about fishing and the area, and also nice to chat with! They were patient, kind, and so helpful to my boys. My younger son, who wasn’t initially interested in fishing, is now hooked!! We were out for my 13 yo’s birthday - and he couldn’t have been happier. The boys both caught several fish - and one crab by accident. We enjoyed a dolphin swimming along the boat for quite a while, and also saw a sea turtle pop up to wave. Extremely thankful for our trip - it made our vacation more memorable for sure! Highly recommend & will look them up again when we return.

Captain Paul and Eric did a fantastic job for us. They are a great team. They made sure we all had a good time, they kept our lines baited and are very knowledgeable about the fish. They took us to various places in the water to make sure we had fish biting and that we were catching fish. They are very patient and helpful. We had never gone fishing and they made it such a good time. We caught some awesome fish and got to see some other cool sights like sea turtles, dolphins, and other things. This was a great trip for our family. I would highly recommend them.

Shout out to Captain Paul and Eric for a memorable fishing experience for our family. They are extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind and supportive. We caught so many different kinds of fish including Red Snapper and a rare 63” Atlantic Sailfish! We also got to see some historical landmarks such as Fort Pickens, marine life such as dolphins and sea turtles. Fun fact: most fish have teeth. Lol Thank you Captain Paul and Eric with Double D Fishing Charters of NW Florida, LLC.

Our fishing trip with Paul and Eric was fantastic, and we would recommend these guys to anyone looking to book a charter fishing trip in this area. All four of us caught a variety of fish and we all had a great time! Our fishing guides were friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and helpful from start to finish of our trip. Thank you for this really fun experience!

We had an amazing time! They were both very prompt with making sure we were catching fish and keeping our lines in the water. Definitely go with these guys again.

We caught all sorts of fish and had a great time! They were very knowledgeable and always made sure we had a line with bait in our hands.

An absolute blast of an experience! I've fished with them both inshore and offshore now, and the next will be an inshore fly fishing trip!!!! I will always recommend taking a trip with Double D Fishing Charters.
