Awesome family morning on the water!
2 Hour Trip – Kids Trip (PM) on August 5, 2025 • 3 adults • 2 children
Captain Marvin was a fantastic guide and took great care of me and my family on our morning fishing trip! He was super friendly, responsive, and communicated with us every step of the way. The weather in PCB during our trip was fairly hit and miss and Captain Marvin was very flexible and worked to get us a window between storms. We started catching fish from the first cast and didn’t stop for the whole session. The kids had a blast and so did me and my wife! We highly recommend Captain Marvin.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Day on the Water!
Half Day Trip – Bay Fishing (AM) on June 16, 2025 • 4 adults
We had an incredible fishing trip with Captain Marvin Glasgow of 30A Bay Guide Service. My two sons, nephew, and I were reeling in speckled trout within minutes — the action didn’t stop there! We even hooked into Bonnethead sharks, which was a total thrill for the boys.
Captain Marvin was professional, friendly, and knew exactly where to find the fish. His passion and expertise made the trip fun, safe, and educational for all of us.
A perfect family outing — highly recommended.

fantastic time on the bay
Half Day Trip – Bay Fishing (AM) on October 11, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child
We had an awesome trip with Captain Marvin! We absolutely slayed the Spanish Mackerel — nonstop action and great memories. What really stood out was how patient and engaging he was with my 9-year-old son. He made sure the day was fun, educational, and full of laughs. Can’t recommend him enough for a family-friendly, fish-filled adventure!

Great Quick Fishing Trip
2hr kids trip on July 1, 2025 • 1 adult • 1 child
We took the 2-hour kids trip, and Marvin was great! He was determined to find my son some fish, and during the last hour of the trip, he caught a black tip shark, trout, and saltwater catfish. Marvin has experience and is great with kids. He would take the time to explain each fish and show my son how to handle it properly. I highly recommend Marvin.

Capt. Marvin will put you on em!
Half Day Trip – Bay Fishing (AM) on July 1, 2025 • 5 adults
It was not the best conditions and we still put quite a few very nice speckled trout in the cooler. He was waiting on at the dock with bait on board when we arrived. He was great with the kids teaching them how to operate the equipment and how to entice a bite. We will be going out with Capt Marvin again!
