About

About imageAbout image
      Captain Nick was born and raised in Rome, Georgia.  He graduated from Rome High School and joined the Electrical Union in Atlanta, Georgia where he completed a 5 year apprenticeship program that allowed him to become a third generation Electrician.  He quickly worked his way up through the Electrical field and into Electrical Construction Management. However, he wanted to do more. His love and passion for the Emerald Coast started when he was younger and it was the place he always knew he had to be. He decided he wasn’t getting any younger, so he packed up his life and made the 6 hour trip south for good.

Nick applied for his Captains license, bought a boat and is now sharing his passion with everyone. Captain Nick is a USCG licensed Captain and has all the permits/licenses for you and your family to enjoy a wonderful day on the water.  Our inshore Boat is a 2004 Cape Horn 22 Bay series with a Yamaha 225 Four Stroke.Our offshore boat is a 2008 Cape Horn 31 Tournament with twin Yamaha 350 Fourstokes.  We can fish inshore in the flats of the bay and offshore in the Gulf.

 This was a great trip. Captain Nick was so nice to my grandson. We caught bait for a while then went out and caught snapper and triggerfish. I’d highly recommend this captain!

 Captain Nick was a blast. Super down to earth and knowledgeable about fishing the Destin/Ft Walton waters. He was very accommodating, kind, and generally excited to be out fishing. Once we found the fish we limited out (15 Spanish Mackerel per person) in about 45 minutes. Furthermore, he didn’t force me to use his website to book. He called me personally to discuss all options and planning. I would 100% go fishing with him again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

 Had a great time with Captain Tate this past week, while fishing inshore on a half day charter. Nick helped us navigate the weather all week and made sure we had a successful afternoon. We got on fish quick and they only got bigger as the day went on! Caught a nice variety of fish, including reds, mangroves, whitings, rays, and some monster speckled trout. Would highly recommend this charter or an offshore with captain Nick Tate any day!

 Wow, where do I begin? Our experience with strictly business fishing charters and Captain Nick was five stars from start to finish!!! Before I even booked, Nick and I were in communication through text and social media and he quickly answered all the questions that I had. Booking the trip through his website was simple and straightforward. Leading up to the trip I was able to let Nick know that, although I was pretty keen to catch some fish, it was my wife and kids who were the priority. They are all very new to fishing and it was really important to me that they have a great experience and boy did he ever deliver!!! Our family had an amazing afternoon. His boat was clean, un cluttered and well taken care of. All of the the equipment was good quality and in good shape… nothing was cheap or rundown. We were on fish right from the first cast and the action was steady enough to keep my kids (8, 10 and 11 years old) engaged for the full 4 hours. What really impressed me was how patient he was… My kids are pretty extra! They all have a ton of questions and there aren’t too many quiet moments with them around… it didn’t matter how many times he had to answer the same question or how many lines he had to untangle, he always seemed to be having as much fun as us! Thanks for a great trip Nick… for you it might have been just another day on the water, but for me, it was a “bucket list” experience!!!

 First off let me say I’ve been fishing and hunting for over 35 years and have had some great days on the water! But none compared to our time with Nick this morning! He’s a fantastic captain and navigated some pretty sketchy waters to get us on em! He’s an all around fun guy and I guarantee you we will be back on his boat again in the future! If you come to Destin you better look him up, it’s worth your time!!! You may find cheaper charters inland but you won’t have the quality of fishing you would get with Nick! On a side note, don’t expect calm water like your favorite fishing pond back home, it’s not smooth water and you will get a ride! But it’s 100% worth it and the fishing is AMAZING!

 Went on a trip with Capt. Nick back on the last day of red snapper season and had a blast. Our group of 4 had our limit in less than an hour. If one spot isn’t getting bit, he has other spots that will get fish in the boat. Will definitely be booking a trip with him next time we are down in Florida! Highly recommend.
