With local and experienced guides by your side, Long Shot Charters will lead you to some of the most productive fishing grounds in the world! Captain Joe will make sure you have a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable ride from the moment you step on board to when it's time to go home.
You'll set off from the coast of Panama City Beach in the captain's 41' Infiniti saltwater sportfisher. You'll reach some of the best fisheries in no time with its twin 325 HP Caterpillar engines and top-of-the-line navigational equipment. She also comes with a flybridge so you can spot your target even quicker, giving you a greater advantage over the fish. You'll also have AC, bunk beds for napping, a clean restroom, and lots of space, providing maximum comfort.
You'll be provided with top-quality Penn and Shimano gear, as well as live bait and lures. You'll be doing a lot of fishing though, so Capt. Joe recommends buying extra live bait before each trip so you don't run out.

Invite 5 other friends or family members and come experience the adventure of a lifetime! Your fishing license will already be taken care of prior to your trip, so you can just relax and enjoy the ride!

I was very nervous about this trip as it was just me and my two sons, age 6 and 10. Immediately there was no reason to be. We hopped right on, took a nice ride out to a couple spots and quickly hit our max in Vermillion Snapper. Followed that up with trolling for Spanish Mackerel. We had a BLAST! The water was rough, but it kinda just added to the fun. Joe was amazing getting us everywhere we needed to go and finding different spots. Dusty was a huge help, great conversation and SO patient - especially with my younger wild child. We WILL be back, and I’m already dying to get us booked again. Plus we went home with 26lbs of fish!! Families? Single parents? Don’t be scared. This is the review I needed to see looking for a charter for us. TAKE THE TRIP! And do it with Long Shot.
Ashley it was a pleasure having you and the boys aboard. We thank you for the wonderful review and making Long Shot charters your choice. We look forward to the next time.
Had a good time with me and a few of my friends. Caught some fish that I have never caught before, and I have been on the ocean most of my life. The captain and deck hand we’re both on it with everything. Overall great experience. looking forward to booking with them next year.
Royce thanks for the great review and making Long Shot Charters your choice. It was a great day and a pleasure having you fellas aboard. We hope to see you all agin for the next guys trip.
My wife, grandson and I took this fishing trip in June 2026. We caught lots of fish and really enjoyed the six-hour fishing trip!!!!! The Captain and the mate were very friendly and took care of all our needs. The price was very reasonable when compared to similar fishing trips.
Thank you for the wonderful review Brad, it was a pleasure having the family aboard. As always we are thankful for our guests and we hope to see you all again at Long Shot Chartets.
This was our 3rd charter with Long Shot! This time we brought my Daddy to celebrate his 75th birthday. Joe did a great job putting us on the fish! Although we battled the sharks & dolphins for our catch, Dusty worked hard to help us! We caught some great fish, including several species of Snapper. Both guys did a phenomenal job and we couldn’t be more pleased. Plus, they’re both very personable and approachable. We enjoyed our day & are thankful for another great fishing experience! I wholeheartedly recommend Long Shot for your next charter! We won’t use anyone else!
Thank you for always making Long Shot charters your choice. It was a very pleasure having your family aboard again. We look forward to the next time!
Thank you Team Long Shot. My family had a great time and exactly what were wanting. What a fun day and the variety of gear was great for my younger daughter to even catch! Dusty, awesome job keeping the lines full of bait and being extremely helpful and patient with the kids! Overall fantastic trip, thank you for keeping us safe Captain Joe! 100% using you all for future trips. in
Thank you for the wonderful review and making the Long Shot your choice. We appreciate your understanding in the delay of the trip due to the starter failure. I am very thankful we were able to get it fixed promptly and still have a fantastic day out on the water. We look forward to having you all aboard in the near future.
