Semper Fi Charters And Tours – 30'
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.

Five stars!
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!

4 Hour Trip – Gulf Reef Fishing
Perfect Trip!
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.

4 Hour Trip – Gulf Reef Fishing
GOOD DAY ON THE WATER
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.

Special 6 hour trip for Clayton Taff
6 hr. Trip in Rough Conditions
Cpt. Eric saved our bacon on this vacation. Had a five hour fishing trip booked with another charter (who shall remain nameless) here in the thick of snapper season. The water had been super choppy, so I got notified 4 hours before that trip was supposed to go out that other captain canceled, which left us scrambling. Lucky we found Semper Fi. Captain Eric was much more communicative, gave us options, was honest about what he could do given the conditions, aggressive yet kept us safe. Once we got out there, we were on the fish immediately. When deckhand Zach (who's awesome) told us our baits should either catch a fish ten seconds after hitting bottom or we've lost it, I knew we were with the right guys. Both Cpt. Eric and Zach are hard workers, humble, skilled, and fun to be around. We caught 52 lbs. of fish and should have caught more that we lost. These guys are the truth, have a big, solid boat, good equipment. I can't imagine a better time. We'll for sure book with them again when in the area next time without hesitation, and you should too.
