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.

Amazing experience with the kids!
Captain Marvin was pleasant, calm, knowledgeable, respectful and gave us a great time on the water! We caught a variety of large Spanish mackerel, trout, and other fish. We cooked it for lunch right after and it was delicious! Thank you so much for the memories!

Half Day Trip – Bay Fishing (AM)
Successful fishing adventure!
Our family had a great morning with Captain Marv. He communicated well and was ready to depart promptly at 8 am. He took us out to a few spots where we were able to catch quite a few Redfish and even some Spotted Seatrout. He was very attentive and helpful. We even saw a large gator! We took his recommendations for cooking up our catch for dinner and tasted great. Thanks for a fun morning!
