Spend your day aboard a 26' Panga, which can reach speeds of 50 knots thanks to a 200 Suziki engine. This beauty can easily run in 10 inches of water.
Capt. JP specializes in charters going after Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, Redfish, Flounder, Trout, and so much more! This is some seriously productive fishing and makes for a fun day. If you want to stay in sheltered waters, or the bay, this boat will easily fish skinny water. There are plenty of Sharks in our area if you dream of catching a Shark. There is always something to catch! Four people can fish comfortably on these trips, with plenty of room.
If you wish to bring your child along, they need to be at least 7 years old. Make sure you bring life vests for them!

Krista Watkins5.0VerifiedAbsolutely amazing experience!
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 7, 2026 • 2 adultsJP was a magnificent captain! We had such a wonderful time and all of us had an amazing experience. It was our first time ocean fishing, and JP was very helpful and made sure everyone was comfortable. He made absolutely sure we caught some really amazing fish, including Spanish Mackerel, Bonita, and MahiMahi(our personal favorite). Even when one of us started to feel sea sick, he did everything in his power to help assist and get us into calmer waters. DEFINITELY will be chartering with JP again in the future. 10 out 10.
Jeff HerzbergRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat mornimg with Captain JP
5 Hour Trip on May 28, 2026 • 3 adultsMy fishing trip in the Gulf of Mexico (last year) was just average. This time it was amazing. our Captain was fun, professional and very good at his craft. We caught a couple big Amberjacks (out of season so we couldn’t keep them), a Spanish Mackerel, a bunch of Beeliners and Red Snapper! We cooked the ones we could keep the next day and it was the best fish we’ve ever eaten. A great trip and would recommend to anyone!! We will be back!
Jason Yarrington5.0VerifiedGreat Day!!!!!!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 15, 2026 • 2 adultsCapt. Jp was absolutely amazing, he listened to exactly what we wanted and he provided exactly that. Non stop fish after fish caught 7 different species including what we wanted. He was very accommodating. I would recommend to anyone that wants to have a great time and catch another of fish. He will definitely be my captain for now on. Thank you for a wonderful day.. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Great trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 16, 2026 • 2 adultsGreat time. Captain Jack was great. My son and I caught around 30-35 fish in 5 hours. Mahi. Amberjack (out of season, had to throw back), Spanish mackerels, and bonitos. Jack gave my son a bunch of pointers on fishing for once we got back home and even set up a rig for him to use. 2 thumbs up.
Douglas Reed5.0VerifiedOutstanding!

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 4, 2026 • 4 adultsCaptain James was great, we caught a ton of fish and conditions were less than ideal to say the least! What was expected to be a slow day was extremely successful. We will definitely be using captain James on our next trip!
Steven Slagle5.0VerifiedGreat trip!! Fish were biting
5 Hour Trip on July 10, 2026 • 3 adultsCaptain James put us on the fish early and often. My daughter and granddaughter had there first experience deep sea fishing. We caught Bonita, Spanish Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, and triggerfish.

Spring break special on March 30, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 childrenCaptain JP did an awesome job at putting us on the fish and catering to my children and making them feel comfortable. We limited out before the time was even up. We would definitely do it again!
Daniel Ossowski5.0VerifiedGreat Day on the water
5 Hour Trip on July 16, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 childAfter a cancellation by another boat because of engine problems was able to book a last minute trip with Captain Pic. This trip was to take out my fishing loving 14 year old son. The trip was perfect as Captain Pic was super knowledgeable about different styles of fishing and where to catch numerous different species on our 4 hour trip. We caught Amber Jack, Beeliners, Snapper, and Grouper. We were literally catching fish for 4 hours straight pausing only to move spots. Captain was very interesting to chat with as well. You won’t find anyone who knows more about fishing in the area. It was an awesome day fishing.
