Catch fish, enjoy beautiful nature, and make lifelong memories together with Semper Fi Charters And Tours. Captain Eric Wilkas offers to take you on near coastal waters full of various exciting and tasty fish to catch. You'll meet him in Panama City Beach and head out to explore the area's inshore and nearshore grounds, including reefs, wrecks, and flats. Pick your day and join the captain for your next fishing adventure in Florida.

The diverse waters you'll be fishing allow you to chase Mangrove, Red, and Vermilion Snapper, Black, Red, and Scamp Grouper, as well as Tarpon, Amberjack, Cobia, King Mackerel, Triggerfish, and Tripletail. To reel them in, you can use light tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, spinning, and jigging. You're free to keep or release the fish you catch.

Your trip takes place on a 30' C-Hawk center console that can fit up to 6 guests. It runs on twin 250 HP Tohatsu engines and uses modern GPS, fishfinder, VHF radio, and radar technology for efficient and safe navigation.

Captain Eric will take care of all the rods, reels, tackle, lures, and fishing licenses. For an additional fee, he can also clean and fillet your catch when the trip is over. Make sure to bring your favorite snacks or drinks and you'll be all set for the fun.

You may also want to know that his boat is entered in the PCB Fishing Rodeo for 2022. This means that if you book a trip between September 23 – October 9 you'll be eligible to win up to $1500 for the fish you catch.

Great Trip!!

6 Hour Trip – Gulf Reef Fishing on March 25, 2026 • 6 adults

Captain Eric and Corey were awesome!  The weather wasn’t what was initially predicted, but we were still able to limit out on vermillion snapper within 45 min!!  That allowed us to hit several other locations where we caught a variety of other fish, including red grouper and triggerfish.  They were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and had us on fish right away. We even saw dolphins and yellowfin tuna feeding on speedos.  Our group of 6 had a great time and would highly recommend Semper Fi Charters!!

Five stars!

10 Hr Gulf -Reef /deep dropping on July 30, 2025 • 5 adults

We had an absolutely amazing time with Semper Fi Charters! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. The crew was professional, friendly, and clearly knew what they were doing — they made the whole experience smooth, fun, and successful. We caught all kinds of fish and never had a dull moment on the water.

The boat itself was spacious, clean, and very comfortable — plenty of room for everyone to move around and enjoy the ride. You can tell this team takes pride in what they do, and it shows in every detail.

Highly recommend Semper Fi Charters for anyone looking for a memorable and productive fishing trip. We’ll definitely be back!

I took a group if 14-year-old boys with me on the fishing trip and the captain put us on the most fish we’ve ever seen in our life. The boys arms were so sore the next day from catching so many fish! they had the best time of their life, we will definitely be back.

GOOD DAY ON THE WATER

4 Hour Trip – Gulf Reef Fishing on July 15, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 child

Capt. Eric and 1st Mate Tate were outstanding.  The trip started with a safety lecture on the boat and it's safety equipment.  Then we went and caught fish.  Professional and knowledgeable about good locations to drop your line.

Perfect Trip!

4 Hour Trip – Gulf Reef Fishing on October 23, 2024 • 2 adults

Was our first private charter. Eric was very personable and professional. It was just me and my daughter. He wanted to make sure we had a great experience. Even gave us extra time to catch more fish. Also it may not matter to everyone but I didn't hear him once say a cuss word. I can appreciate that as a part time evangelist. I also didn't tell him that so that's not why he didn't cuss. I'll definitely be hitting him up in the spring to go fishing again.
