Meet Captain Troy Birchfield
Meet USCG Licensed Captain Troy Birchfield. Although born in Michigan, where he met his wife of 38 years, the couple relocated to Florida full time in the 1990s.
Capt. Troy opened his first guide service in Crystal River in 1996 running trips to Tampa and the Florida Keys, with his wife Suzanne working as his first mate.
Moving to Destin in 2016 the couple purchased the “Reel Chill” in 2016. At this time Suzanne obtained her Master Captain Credentials, and now works as a back up captain on extended voyages and loves to work the deck with children and those unexperienced anglers.
Meet Captain Suzanne Birchfield
A licensed Master Captain, Capt. Suzanne works as a back up captain on extended voyages and loves to work the deck with our guests – especially children and those less experienced anglers that require patience and assistance learning the ropes.
Capt. Suzanne says, “We enjoy teaching newcomers different fishing techniques and seeing their delighted faces when they catch their first fish and will stop at nothing to make sure you get what you want!”

Testimonials from Our Guests
We booked three charters, during two separate trips to Destin. Captain Troy, Suzanne and Marcus are amazing & absolutely wonderful people in my opinion.
The boat has great accommodations, it’s roomy, comfortable & super clean. Captain Troy & Suzanne and Marcus are so knowledgeable & personable …totally awesome group! Marcus has the patience of a saint …. trust me, he fixed my reel more than once on my first day out…. gave me a bucket and a blanket on my second , when the sea didn’t agree & then the third time was a charm. Btw , we were traveling with a 6 yr old & she loved every minute of the day & considers all her bff’s. The fishing was great , we killed it!
