We had an awesome day out on the water. The fishing started out tough, but the captain and first mate worked hard to find the fish and put us right on them. My boys, ages 10 and 12, had an absolute blast and were thrilled to reel in 5 snapper and a grouper. The seas were running about 3–4 feet, but the ride was comfortable, and it was a huge bonus having a cabin to duck into when the summer heat got intense. Being able to cool off out of the sun made the whole trip even better. Overall, it was a memorable experience for the whole family, and we’d definitely go again.
We had a blast. We seen dolphins (lost 2 fish to them haha) and all sorts of beautiful scenery. My 3 kids all caught several fish (spanish and hard tail). Captain Brian and Ernie were both great and very nice and helpful. The music playlist was the icing on the cake 👌🏻
We took the 3-hour sunset fishing trip and it was a blast! We caught between 25-30 fish, a majority of them being Spanish Mackeral. The hosts were a lot of fun and made it a safe, exciting trip!
we cought a bunch of snappers. they were great with the kids and made you feel at home. very patient folks.
it was a rough day to go out but the captain and crew worked hard and put us on fish!

I grew up in Panama City so fishing quickly became a hobby for me. I realized that I had a proficient skill set for fishing these waters so I decided to turn my hobby into my profession where I could share my knowledge and skills with customers to ensure they make memories that last a lifetime! Let's go fishing! My preference is bottom fishing for Red Snapper, Grouper, and Vermillion Snapper.
