If theres bad weather or there is unfavorable conditions, its my priority to let you know before hand. When you are paying good money to fish and trusting me as your captain, you only deserve transparency and honesty on deciding wether to fish or not.
Florida Panhandle Charters is a family and kid-friendly charter that specializes in putting their clients on the hottest bite in Panama City. Join Captain Justin, a passionate local guide, for a fun day on the water. Beginners to seasoned anglers, everyone is welcome to join.
Capt. Justin will take you out aboard a 23' Sportsman bay boat. Its powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine and cruises at a top speed of 35 knots. The boat can take up to 4 anglers to fish in comfort and style. Fitted with a T-top to provide you with shade and protection during the hot summer days!
If you feel like wetting a line close to shore, let Capt. Justin put you on anything from Redfish and Trout to Sheepshead. With your choice of morning or afternoon, a half day trip is the perfect opportunity to explore the waters and still make it home in time for lunch or dinner. These trips are also a great way to introduce young kids to fishing!
For anglers who want to try out some additional skills, but still stay close to shore, your captain will take you bottom fish for a variety of fish! This includes Snapper and Triggerfish, and you'll also have the chance to troll for Mahi Mahi and Kingfish, too. Please note that, due to the size of the boat, nearshore trips are weather-dependent.
All trips with Florida Panhandle Charters come inclusive with top-quality gear and tackle. You will be provided with fishing licenses. All you need to bring is snacks and drinks in a smaller cooler, along with the desire to catch fish!

First time my wife and I have tried this type of fishing. We didn’t know what to expect. We chose Capt.Justin and his team. What a great choice! Their customer service was simply “outstanding”! Weather moved in and Capt. Justin worked with his team to reschedule us into a later date and time, after the weather cleared, that worked for us. We were assigned to Capt. Chandler as our guide and boy did he do a great job. He is a wonderful person who set us up on our trip to catch scores of different types of fish. Never in our life have we caught so many fish in one outing! Please consider using Capt. Justin and his team and you won’t be disappointed.

Thank you so much for taking the time for such a kind and detailed review! I am glad we were able to work it out around the weather! We look forward to seeing yall next time!
Captain Justin was great, he followed up after booking and ahead of the trip to let us know what to expect and get a plan together. We were on fish at the first stop and were able to get enough fish to take home. With the extra time we moved on and got into some of the larger species. By far the best charter that I have been on out of Panama City.

thank you for the great review and kind words! i had a great time with yall and look forward to doing it again!
Was my first time ever going deep sea fishing and my husband’s 2nd. By far the best one. Captain Justin kept in contact with us and let us know days ahead about troubling weather coming the day we was scheduled. He was able to get us rescheduled for earlier in the week and was still able to do our full six hour fishing trip. We ended up going with Captain Chandler and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. He always made sure our lawns had bait on them and even tried his best to let my husband catch a big fish, even though the fish kept biting through the line, taking the hook with it. Chandler tried for over an hour to fulfill that request. Even though my husband was unable to bring a amberjack on the boat, we had a fantastic time. I would definitely go ago with this company. 15/10 would recommend

thank you so much for the detailed and awesome review! Im glad we could work around the weather and we look forward to seeing yall again!
We had a successful 4 hour trip with Captain Chandler. Captain Justin was in touch early in the week as soon as he noticed the weather and wind was not looking promising for our original date. We got switched to an earlier day in the week with Captain Chandler. Our main goal was to catch fish to keep and eat. We nearly caught our limit of Vermilion Snapper while out, along with several other types of fish including trigger fish and a bonita. Captain Chandler kept our hooks baited and the boat moving to where fish were biting. He was also very knowledgable about salt water fishing in general and was able to give us some more information about shore fishing options (we often surf fish when in the area). I will be keeping Captain Justin's information for future charters when we need them!

Thank you so much for the detailed and grest review! We appreciate yall being flexible around the weather and look forward to seeing you next time!

Originally, we had booked a 6-hour trip for Friday, but due to potential weather it looked like that wasn’t going to happen. It was my boyfriend’s first time saltwater fishing, and I was bummed thinking it might get canceled. But when Captain Justin called to let us know, he was very nice and really tried to make sure we could still get out on the water. He got us set up to go out with Captain Will on Wednesday instead. We ended up going out for 4 hours instead of the 6 (due to a storm), but Captain Will made sure we got some really good bites! We even got some fish to take home! They also didn’t charge us for the full 6 hours, which was really kind. Even though we had to change our plans, we had an awesome time! Captain Will was really great! If you’re looking for someone who is laid back, friendly, knowledgeable, and cares about your experience, I would book with Will. We’ll definitely be booking another trip with them soon! They are a great charter, especially knowing that they want you to have the best experience, even if it means having to change the plan up some. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for taking the time for such a detailed review of your experience! We appreciate all of the kind words and we look forward to seeing yall next time! Hope yall enjoy the fish!
