Make an adventure out of your next trip to Panama City Beach and go fishing with Black Belt Charters. With Captain Brandon at the helm, you’ll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

You’re likely to fish for Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Gag Grouper, Cobia, Amberjack, Black Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Gray Triggerfish, Wahoo, and more with any luck.

On the day of your trip, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. You’re free to take home some of the fish you catch, assuming they’re legal to keep.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board.

You’ll be fishing aboard the Snapper Wagon, a 58’ Viking offshore sport fishing boat that holds up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.

A First Mate will be there to assist you and make sure everything is running smoothly. A 10%–20% tip at the end of the day is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

You can’t go wrong when you bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Drinks are included, free of charge.  There will be some light snacks included on board.

Now, come aboard with Black Belt Charters, and get hooked!

10 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing

Black Belt Charters

VERIFIED

I have been chartering boats for a long time, usually 2-3 trips per year. This was our first time with the Snapper Wagon. The boat is fully setup for serious fishing. The ac was ice cold and the boat was spotless inside and out. It is equipped with a wraparound couch and full kitchen for hanging out with the family or just taking a break from the heat. The boat has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms that were very clean and sanitary. This boat had the best crew I have ever fished with. The captain, owner of the boat, and deckhands were all super friendly and spent all day with us. The captain was amazing and knew where to find the fish. The owner of the boat was the nicest, most down to earth person and made you feel welcomed on his boat. He also spent all day with us fishing and answering all of our questions. The deckhands were great and always available during our trip. These guys know what they are doing and they love to do it. They were having as good a time as we were. The owner and captain even invited us upstairs to the crew only pilot house to see how the boat operated. The entire experience was top notch. We will be booking all of our future trips with Black Belt Charters. Thanks for an amazing day.

Due to the size of this boat, allow for a few hours of travel time to and from the locations for bottom fishing. Better for smaller group although it is a larger boat. The cabin was in decent condition and comfortable.
