Based out of peaceful, idyllic Santa Rosa Beach, Pharmasea Outfitters is in the perfect location to show you some productive inshore waters and to get you out in the Gulf. Captain Brandon Simon invites you aboard to share a fantastic fishing experience. A former pharmacist by trade, he’s always been an avid angler, moving to Florida to pursue his passion 10+ years ago. He can’t wait to show you the reasons why he calls the Emerald Coast home.

The 2019 25’ Pathfinder bay boat is a modern vessel, designed for both nearshore and inshore fishing. Light, yet spacious, she’s able to navigate the shallow waters with ease, while cutting across the tops at speed as you head out into the deeper waters. Powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine and with a GPS, fishfinder, and VHF radio on board, rest assured you’ll be chasing those fish like there’s no tomorrow.

See for yourself why Capt. Brandon fell in love with this place. Whatever trip you choose, you’re in for a treat. Along the inshore flats, backcountry, and bays, you’ll get to target delicious and exciting Redfish, Trout, Pompano, Sheepshead, and many more. During the summer months, you’ll even have the chance to go after every angler’s dream catch – Tarpon.

Capt. Brandon Gengelbach hails from small-town Southern Indiana. Both captains grew up together and dreamed of fishing as a career. When he’s not on the water chasing Redfish or Red snapper, you can find him in the woods calling turkeys or pursuing whitetails.

At the end of the day, your catch will be cleaned and prepared, so all you need to do is cook it up when you get home. The fun will continue long after you step back on dry land! Bring some snacks and drinks to make the most of your time aboard Pharmasea Outfitters, and that’s that. You’re ready for a great day on the water. Discover why the Panhandle is famed for its fishing!

    30A inshore fishing

    2 Hour Kid'sTrip on July 31, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Capt. Brandon was great and we got on fish immediately, even though conditions weren’t optimal. My son had a blast and we would certainly recommend anyone looking for a fun and casual inshore trip.

    Captain Brandon made the morning perfect

    3 Hour Bay Trip – Inshore (AM) on October 13, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We didn’t catch a ton of fish, or even really big fish, but we had a great time as a family with Captain Brandon. He was knowledgeable and excellent with our boys! He made sure they got something and let them do most of the work so they could get the most out of the experience. We will for sure book with him again when we are back in the area.

    Caught over 20 redfish

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM) on October 16, 2024 • 5 adults

    Brandon was a great host. We caught over 20 redfish! He was prepared with bait, set up the poles and let us do the fishing. We went to his known spots and moved around as needed to maximize our 4 hours. Highly recommend! 5 star experience for sure.

    Half Day AM Trip

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on June 29, 2022 • 4 adults • 2 children

    I booked a half day bay trip with 3 adults and 1 child. Brandon worked hard to put us in the fish and avoid sporadic rain clouds, but the redfish and Speckled Trout were not cooperating. Those of us on the boat caught several catfish, but the target species were just not there this day. Brandon took us to multiple destinations and allowed us to try multiple techniques, but the weather put a severe kink in our morning plans. Brandon is very friendly and knowledgeable, so I would definitely book a trip with him again.
