Captain Quinton “Q” Destout

I’ve always been the type of person to obsess over whatever it is that I’m “into” at the time. Most of my hobbies seemed to last a few years and then I was on to the next thing.

Fishing, on the other hand, has become a way of life for me. It’s something that I know will always be there. Getting out on the water running the boat in beautiful, remote areas is magical for me. Nobody telling me what to do or how to do it, that’s true freedom.

I often wondered when becoming a guide if it would take away from my love for fishing, but that wasn’t the case. Instead, what gets me excited now is seeing how special it is for my guests to have success, whether it’s someone’s first snook, redfish or tarpon. To see someone light up when their hard work and persistence pays off, that’s the true reward for me.

I feel honored that people trust me to ensure they have a memorable experience on the water and often times that means more than just the fishing. You learn a lot about someone being in a little skiff with them all day.

From novice to seasoned anglers, each outing offers the opportunity for a unique experience.

Let’s get out there and make a memory!
