Captain Dexter

A passionate outdoorsman, Captain Dexter Early grew up fishing Choctawhatchee Bay and its tributaries. His family has been on the water for generations and Captain Dexter was introduced to the fishing business at an early age. As he grew up, he spent countless hours working on commercial fishing boats as a deckhand. Then later he owned his own 58 ft. X 19 ft. shrimp trawler for over 20 years. Growing up playing and then later earning a living from these waters contributes to his vast knowledge of the local waters and all their inhabitants. Nowadays, he translates this knowledge to his clients by providing a fun fishing experience whether his clients are beginners or experienced anglers. Kids are one of his favorite clients. With patience, Captain Dexter enjoys teaching new anglers the art of fishing.

  Jessica Crenshaw LaPeze reviewed Destin’s Boggy Bayou Inshore Charters — 5 star July 19 · We had the best time fishing with Capt. Early this morning! He was totally focused on our 8 y/o daughter & making sure that she was reeling them in! I highly recommend booking your fishing experience with him. He knows the area from Pensacola all the way to Panama City. We will definitely be booking with him again   –Jessica Crenshaw LaPeze
  Tony Capone reviewed Destin’s Boggy Bayou Inshore Charters  5 star August 2, 2017 · Couldn’t ask for more from a chartered trip. Beautiful day and pulled in plenty of fish. More than a great guide, Captain Dexter is a warm-hearted thoughtful gentleman who genuinely likes people and loves putting them on fish. Don’t know how he stays excited about landing redfish after all the time he’s been doing this, but he truly was. My wife came along for the ride almost as an afterthought and came off the water delighted to have had the opportunity to spend the time. A true pleasure to be on the boat with him, and next trip will bring along my teenage kids. A solid 5 stars.
