Reel Groovy Experiences (also known as Reel GRooV Fishing Charters) offers top-rated fishing trips in Panama City Beach, Florida, perfect for families, beginners, and seasoned anglers alike.
No matter your experience level or fishing goals, we have a trip for you. Choose from half-day, ¾-day, or full-day charters targeting a wide variety of species like Snapper, Grouper, Tuna, Amberjack, Kingfish, and Redfish. The longer the trip, the better your chances of landing a great catch—experienced anglers are encouraged to go for extended adventures.
You’ll fish aboard our 43’ BHM offshore sportfishing boat, designed for comfort and powered by a 420 HP Cummins engine with modern navigation technology. The vessel includes air conditioning, a bathroom, a Bluetooth speaker for your favorite tunes, and a spacious, covered back deck for comfortable fishing in the shade. A professional first mate is also onboard to assist and help make your trip successful.
Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned angler, our crew ensures a smooth, fun, and safe trip for all ages. Kids are welcome, and you’ll be part of the action from start to finish.
We welcome anglers of all ages, and you’re free to keep your catch as long as the specific fish are in season. All bait, tackle, and fishing licenses are included—just bring your snacks, drinks, and a sense of adventure. If you want to fish with live bait, which we recommend, please bring $10/person cash to purchase some on the way out to our fishing holes.
Want to learn more about our business, team, and services? After your fishing charter, unwind with a relaxing sightseeing cruise—we offer those too! Perfect for families, couples, and anyone who loves the water without the rods.
Come have a Reel GRooV time—your next fishing adventure awaits!

I have always wanted to be a deep-sea fisherman and take customers out fishing! I love getting to watch families and young anglers get excited when they’ve caught a big keeper! We are excited to show you a GRooV time on the water!
