Captain Alicia and Kelia will make sure you have a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable ride from the moment you step on board to when it’s time to go home.

You’ll set off from the coast of Panama City Beach in the captain’s 41’ Infiniti saltwater sportfisher. You’ll reach some of the best fisheries in no time with its twin 325 HP Caterpillar engines and top-of-the-line navigational equipment. She also comes with a flybridge so you can spot your target even quicker, giving you a greater advantage over the fish. You’ll also have AC, bunk beds for napping, a clean restroom, and lots of space, providing maximum comfort.

You’ll be provided with top-quality Penn and Shimano gear, as well as live bait and lures. You’ll be doing a lot of fishing though, so Capt. Alicia recommends buying extra live bait before each trip so you don’t run out.

You’ll target a range of amazing species while you bottom fish over incredible reefs and underwater structures. The trips are targeting King and Spanish Mackerel, Bonita and occasionally yield Mahi Mahi, Sailfish or Blackfin Tuna.

Invite 5 other friends or family members and come experience the adventure of a lifetime! Your fishing license will already be taken care of prior to your trip, so you can just relax and enjoy the ride!

Captain Alicia and Kelia are business partners and run Long Shot Charters together. Kelia is the manager, and Alicia is the captain in charge of the boat. They started the business back in 2011 and have enjoyed taking people out, introducing them to the beautiful waters of the Gulf ever since. Capt. Alicia is a Panama City native who grew up fishing the local waters. Her years of experience and dedication shows as Capt. Alicia is the only female fishing captain in the whole PC/PCB area and is darn proud of it! Once you go fishing with Alicia and First Mate Joe, you’ll want to return to PCB for another excursion. Many of their clients become repeat customers and come back at least a couple of times each year. Book your next trolling or bottom fishing trip with Long Shot Charters and experience the hype for yourself!
