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!
