Make memories in Panama City Beach and go fishing with Knot Right characters. Captain Chance Brookins will be your guide, which allows you to benefit from years of professional experience.

Amberjack, Snapper, King Mackerel, Vermilion, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, Grouper, and more are in the cards, depending on the time of year. On the day of your trip, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using heavy tackle. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time!

Come aboard the Knot Right, a spacious and sea-worthy 45' vessel that can accommodate up to 15 guests. Captain Charles will provide rods and reels. Trips are run with the help of a first mate, who's there to help you fish and keep everyone safe on board. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10%–20% gratuity is customary and much appreciated.

Children are welcome, so get 'em offline and onto the water! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, ask if there's one on board. Don't forget to bring some drinks, snacks, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray).

Now, come aboard the Knot Right and get hooked!

6 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM on June 19, 20268 adults

I'm solely writing this because fishing booker keeps asking me to. It was a very rough day at sea so we had to stay in the bay -- we did try and go out but we turned around promptly with the 8 foot swells at the end of the bay. This was totally understandable but it felt a bit like it was all an exercise to check a box, say we gave it a go and suddenly our 6 hour deep sea charter became a 6 hour bay trip at top dollar. We didn't think we'd catch any fish but eventually we did!! We caught around 10 fish. Mainly ladyfish and hardtails, a keeper bluefish and a keeper Spanish mackerel -- which was awesome. We were so stoked the bluefish and mackerel as our biggest objective was to catch fish for dinner. We did have 6 hungry guys so it obviously was shy of how much we'd need, but hey, such is fishing. I think next time it would be fun to try and switch tactics to try and get into the hunt with some awesome charter guys who've spent countless hours on those waters but I don't think they had the authority to. It was super cool to step into their world as-is but never really felt like we got to experience them doing what they loved. We did talk about trying to catch a shark (surely that would give us enough table fair for dinner) but it never materialized. Aside from the fishing, we had a great time overall and I would recommend Knot Right. On a better weather day, I think we'd probably have a great day fishing, too. The thing I'd recommend most to people booking a boat is to cover yourselves by knowing the cancellation policy. Tropical storm Arthur threw everything around and we should've trusted our guts and preemptively canceled. Maybe the boat should've let us know our trip wouldn't be the same as we'd hoped in the days prior, that no other bots were heading out and that there was a high likelihood we'd immediately turn around. Or maybe at least discussed with us beforehand so we could decide whether we wanted to fish in the bay instead. Just my thinking. 10/10 recommend Knot Right!

Best experience I have had with a charter boat
6 Hour Trip - Sep-May (PM) on March 18, 20265 adults2 children

I loved that the boat was big enough to fit all of my family I had 7 people total and was able to go all together almost everywhere else only let’s you take 6 people, we caught a lot of fish and the boat was comfortable and it had an enclosure where the kids that don’t like to fish can stay it is great for everyone. They are very knowledgeable of where to go catch the best fish. We caught fish right when we dropped the hooks in it was awesome we will definitely be back.

Excellent boat and crew!
4 hour trolling trip on May 11, 20266 adults

we had a great time out on the Knot Right. Captain and mate wee exceptional all around. we caught multiple species, went home with plenty of fish. Captain changed tactics as needed to keep us on the fish and the mate was always on top of the situation no matter how busy it got. boat is clean, stable, comfortable and ready to fish. I absolutely recommend the Knot Right!
