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!

    Great trip, kids had a blast!

    6 Hour Trip on October 13, 2026 • 8 adults • 4 children

    Our trip with Knot Right was exactly what we were looking for. My wife and I took our 4 kids (ages 11,9,7, and 5) and my parents. The crew put our kids on Beeliners (Mingo) and it was exactly what they could handle and they caught a bunch and had a blast. At the same time, my dad and I were able to target a couple of Red Snapper. Overall, we had a blast and the crew were patient and great with my kids, which I couldnt be happier with. We’re already looking forward to next year and the kids want to go out a little bit longer next time.

    Best experience I have had with a charter boat

    6 Hour Trip - Sep-May (PM) on March 18, 2026 • 7 adults • 2 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.

    6 Hour Trip - Sep-May (PM) on March 25, 2026 • 6 adults

    This was our first time and it was great. I wouldn't hesitate to book with this captain again. We got back to the dock after the fish cleaners had closed for the day, Tyler the first mate offered to clean and filet a few of our fish so we could take them to a local restaurant for a hook and cook meal.
