Tide Up Charters is located in Panama City Beach and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.

Capt. Richard will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 2 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Snapper, King Mackerel, Amberjack, Dolphin, Grouper, and Cobia, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, fly fishing, big game fishing, and jigging.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 24’ Rampage boat that can safely take up to 4 anglers. This boat comes with an ice-box.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Tide Up Charters.

4 Hour Trip (AM)

5 Stars for Captain Buddy

VERIFIED

We really enjoyed Captain Buddy. We had booked the 4 hour trip hoping to do some inshore fishing, but Buddy called ahead to let us know it would probably be pretty slow fishing because of the lower-than-usual temps for the time of year. He was very clear that he was happy to do whatever we want, but that he wanted to make sure we knew what we were in for. We changed our plans and opted for bottom fishing offshore instead. It wasn't Plan A, but it was a lot better than sticking to Plan A without catching any fish! Thanks Buddy.

My wife and I were with Captain Buddy, who was a great guide and genuinely nice person! We caught a bunch! Despite not catching as many keepers as we would have liked, we had a very enjoyable trip! Thanks!

I would do this trip every day if I had the time! My captain wasted no time putting me on fish. I caught one on my first cast! Hit a 1 man limit of red snapper and B-liners. I will definitely be a repeat customer if I’m back in the area
