Explore the waters of the Florida Panhandle with Deep Thrills Fishing Charter out of Pensacola Beach. You will be able to fish the Inshore waters of Pensacola Bay, Pensacola Pass or nearshore in the Gulf of Mexico. You’ll have by your side Captain Bryan Hopkins, a seasoned angler who’ll make sure you have a fun and successful trip.

Your trip will start on a 31’ CapeHorn center console that can accommodate 6 guests. Powered by twin Yamaha 300 engines and rigged with modern navigation technology. There is a cooler on board for you to use with plenty of Ice.

There are several species you’ll have the chance to catch.

All the fishing gear you’ll need for the trip will await you on the boat. Fuel, Bait, Ice, and License are included in your price. Tips are customary in the industry – never expected, but always appreciated. Captain Bryan will always give his very best to ensure you have a memorable trip.

Captain Bryan had the opportunity as a young teenager to begin fishing offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and has been passionate about the sport ever since. He feels he's been blessed with the opportunity to experience saltwater fishing in places like the Northern Gulf, Florida Keys, as well as the Carolina coast. He absolutely enjoys sharing his passion with others, particularly someone who has never had the opportunity to reel in a big fish. It brings him joy to help someone create that lasting memory.
