The crews great efforts to get us on fish and there concern to make our experience special was evident. The mates ability to manage the deck was outstanding. Nathanal boldly talked about his beliefs in our Father to my son and me becuase we made ourselves open to Him. The importance of excursion like this is not how many fish you catch, we caught enough, but it is the time spent talking and sharing His light with others. Praise God for one of the most memerable days of our lives. The creater of the Gulf and the abundance of it was evindent!
We had a great time fishing with the group we went out with. The captain and both deck hands were phenomenal! These guys worked their tails off to make sure everyone was taken care of and had a great experience. The best part is we all caught plenty of fish! Lots of grouper and snapper. I would highly recommend the boat and crew if you want guys that know what they’re doing and a captain that will put you on fish. Bonus: AC and a bathroom!
My 13 yo son and I had the absolute pleasure of entrusting Captain Darryl (hope I spelled that right) and his crew including Mike & Joe with showing us a good time while fishing. Their collective experience and hard work showed right from the gate and up until we docked and disembarked. It was my son’s first experience fishing on the ocean. His smiles and excitement alone were enough to pay for the trip countless times over. Captain kept it moving and did not hesitate to explore many different fishing spots along our route, without wasting too much time on empty and low catch/yield spots. We had a great time together making memorable experiences and observed all the rest of the passengers doing the same. Would 100% recommend this trip to anyone else who is looking for a good fishing experience while in Panama City Beach in the Gulf of America. We would not hesitate to book again and are considering making this our annual tradition. Overall vibe rivals that of one of the best days ever. Thanks Captain and crew!!! Please know that you make a big difference.
“We had an excellent time deep sea fishing. The crew was professional, friendly, and made the entire trip enjoyable from start to finish. The boat was clean, well-organized, and we caught plenty of fish. They were helpful with everything, especially for beginners, and made sure everyone had a great experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and memorable day on the water.”
