Half Day Trip – Bay Fishing (AM)
fantastic time on the bay
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!

Awesome family morning on the water!
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.

Half Day Trip – Bay Fishing (AM)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Day on the Water!
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.

Mission Accomplished!
Great morning on the water with my 10 year old grandson… it was his first guided trip and was totally thrilled with the experience! Marvin was great with him, coaching along the way and letting him be hands on. Thanks for making the day special for him.

Great Quick Fishing Trip
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.
