Boshamps Seafood & Oyster House, located on the beautiful Destin Harbor, is the culmination of over 40 years of dreams, ideas and experience in the restaurant and hospitality industry. The vision and goal of providing the finest quality ingredients in the most comfortable, family friendly atmosphere available has been rooted in our family and in this property since 1985. After almost 30 years of being Destin's finest white table cloth restaurant, The Flamingo Cafe, our family, Chef, and team started dreaming, planning and building Boshamps. Knowing the love and passion I have for my three labs, Bobo, Otis, and Shug, she combined their three names with my initials and somehow Boshamps seemed like a perfect fit. While our name may be a little different, our goal and vision will always remain the same.
But with Boshamps, their son Miller, has gotten rid of the tablecloths and ties, and now offers a more casual, comfortable dining experience with Gulf to Table southern cuisine. Sitting literally over the water near the fishing boats, The Boathouse is a local favorite serving up fresh oysters, cold beer and live music every day for the past 30 years. Head to Boshamps for fresh, locally sourced seafood served with a Southern flare. Take in the ocean views from this casual, lively restaurant, featuring two bars. The Skybar, an adult-only rooftop bar, has couches, an open fire pit and is a great place to enjoy a drink and watch the sunset, boats and even a fireworks show.

Flat Dangerous was not the only boat in on the bluefin action. Gill said there was a boat from Pensacola nearby that had hooked two. They broke one off and then fought another for about six hours before it broke off. “It was pretty cool,” said crew member Dennis Bennett. Bennett was part of another big bluefin tuna adventure in 2017 when Capt. Joey Birbeck hauled in an 827-pounder for a record catch. They were fishing about 68 miles out of Destin when they spotted the huge school of tuna while they were bait fishing.
Located on Destin harbor, the Boathouse is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. Bennett was on the boat with when Joey Berbeck caught the 827-pounder in 2017. Boat owner Williamson was on the rod first and fought the fish for over an hour.
They also serve up burgers, chicken sandwiches, smoked tuna dip, crab cakes and salads to name a few. Rolled in at about 6, was sat in about 30 minutes. Great atmosphere, they have live music, and are located right on the harbor. Ordered the Snapper Destin and it did not disappoint.

But as for the original, it still serves up fried and grilled baskets full of fresh seafood with corn-on-the-cob and new potatoes with the grilled baskets and French fries and hush puppies for the fried baskets.
After readjustments were made, the captain said they caught the tuna on 100-pound main line, 150-pound Braid and 400-pound leader. “We had gone out to the fads and was going to live bait around there,” Gill explained. Capt. Gill and crew members Eddy Griffith, Dennis Bennett, and John Balters, along with owner Williamson and friend Kole Melancon, were just taking the boat out for a fun trip.
