Your captain has fished these waters for several decades and is great with families and kids. You’re welcome to join regardless of your experience. The charter looks forward to seeing you aboard its newest "Black Magic" boat and will treat you like friends and family.

Your journey starts on a restored 42’ SeaRay flybridge boat that can sit up to 6 guests. Powered by two 320 HP turbocharged Caterpillar engines, she is both fast and comfortable. Equipped with a restroom, shower, kitchen, bed, flybridge, your time on the water will be as enjoyable as possible. There is plenty of shade and a large back deck to fish from and she’s also equipped with the latest navigation electronics. There’s an onboard multimedia system as well as a refrigerator and an ice-box. The boat’s fishing gear includes outriggers, a fighting chair, and livewell. She’s even accessible to guests in wheelchairs and there will be a first mate present on board.

There’s a huge choice of fine species to target, some of them including King Mackerel, Snapper, Grouper, Ladyfish, Black Seabass, Shark, and Amberjack. Using light and heavy tackle, you can bottom fish, deep sea fish, troll, spin, and jig for them. Kids are welcome to join the trip. You can take home all your catch or release it if you prefer so.

The crew will cover you for rods, reels, tackle, lures, and fishing licenses. You’ll just need to bring your favorite food and drinks before you depart.

Welcome to Panama City Beach, lots of fun awaits you with Captain Black’s Fishing!

Angler's Choice
The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I began fishing at the age of 4. My parents were avid anglers and took me to the water every day during the summer months. My older sister also took me fishing, as I was a total addict. I have always had an appreciation for the experience of fishing and being there either alone or with people I wish to share my passion with. I have fished this area for 48 years and it has been a pure joy because you never know what is going to swim up to you. I would love to share my experience and help you make some memories with your family and friends. I always strive to treat each trip as though I were taking my friends and family fishing.
