Captain Hank's Fishing Charters invites you down to Panama City for a fun day out with your family and friends. Whether you are up to some bottom fishing or looking for a trolling adventure, there is a trip for you.

The 'Captain Hank' is a 44' Henrique's Offshore sport fishing boat, built back in 1985. Its twin 300 HP Detroit engines can power up to 15 anglers to the finest fishing grounds in the area and its modern electronics can save your time while searching for fish. The Captain Hank features an air-conditioned cabin, a toilet, and plenty of fishing space.

Check the bite close to shore and get your hands on Redfish, King Mackerel, Vermilion Snapper, and Spanish Mackerel. Venture up to 40 miles out and go for Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, Triggerfish, Amberjack, Red Snapper, and many other species.

Whichever fishing adventure you are hoping to get, rest assured that the crew will assist you throughout the trip. They will provide you with top-notch rods, reels, and tackle to make a great catch possible. Primo live bait can be purchased, or we can catch it. All trips come with fishing licenses, so you won't have to worry about getting one.

Just bring your own food and drinks with you and hop on board. Sit back, relax, sip your favorite drink, and enjoy the view. As soon as you arrive at the fishing grounds, be it nearshore, 20 or 40 miles out, you will hear 'Fish On' and the action will begin. Happy fishing!

    Great Trip!

    3/4 Day Trip (PM) (Summer) on June 30, 2026 • 8 adults

    We did a 3/4 day trip. Captain Opi did his best to get us on the fish even when the bite was slow. We did catch a lot of fish! We enjoyed our 3/4 day trip but would recommend a full day if you want lots of fishing time as the ride to the fishing spots and back take most of the time.

    Great fishing trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) on February 20, 2026 • 7 adults

    8 of my friends and I went on a 4hr morning bottom fishing trip. I was concerned that we wouldn’t have enough time to get on the fish but the crew had us set up on them almost immediately. Everyone caught fish and had a great time. Highly reccomend this knowledgable crew for your future fishing trips.

    Captain Hank’s is a great experience

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) on March 28, 2025 • 5 adults

    Captain Matt and first mate Dave were both first rate! Great boat, they put us on fish, lots of fish species caught, maximized our time on the water……we couldn’t ask for better hosts in the Panama City Gulf of America area. Highly recommend this charter to others! Did a 6 hour trip but would go longer next time because we had a-lot of fun!

    Been on several trips on the Captain Hank and it’s always a great experience. Crew is great and I highly recommend them if you have kids. They take the time to teach them about the fish that are caught.

Of course, Captain Mike Sullivan enjoys catching fish. However, there is something he loves even more: seeing families and friends come together and bond. Capt. Mike enjoys helping them create memories that will last a lifetime. He believes he's more than lucky to be able to go fishing every day and to call it his full-time job.
