Gulf Coast Fishing Charters
Make the most of your time in Panama City and go fishing with Gulf Coast Fishing Charters. With Captain Eric Guerra at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
These waters are known for Amberjack, Black Drum, Bonito, Cero Mackerel, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Flounder, Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, and more – with any luck, it won't be long before "Fish on!" On the day of your trip, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
Capt. Eric operates a 24’ Key West center console with a capacity for 5 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Your captain will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary. Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. You can't go wrong when you bring sunblock (non-spray) and sunglasses. There will be some drinks and snacks on board, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Reel Success, Epic Fishing!
Had amazing fishing trip with Captain Eric at Nautical Adventures, and I can't stop raving about it! From the get-go, communication was smooth, and Captain Eric made sure everything was set before we even set foot on the boat. What made it even better was Captain Eric's attention to detail and genuine commitment to making our day special. This outing with my son easily became our all-time favorite fishing experience. Don't be swayed by the lack of reviews; Nautical Adventures was the best decision we made this entire trip. I can’t wait to tell everyone how much of a blast this truly was! Captain Eric had the boat loaded with everything and his enthusiasm kept the excitement alive. He provided lunch, drinks, fishing gear, life jackets, anything you could need! We ended up catching over 30 fish, adding an extra layer of thrill to an already fantastic day on the water. Captain Eric went above and beyond by cleaning our catch and sending us home with our fish! It's these personal touches that make Nautical Adventures stand out. Thank you again. We will never book with anyone else.

Fish galore
Me and my 27 year old son had a fantastic time on this trip. Captain Eric was friendly, easy to talk with and very reliable. Due to a storm coming in, Eric was able to switch the fishing day to different morning without hesitation. On our trip, while the other guides got shut out going one direction , he had the foresight to go in the other direction, which put us on enough fish to make us sore. After 7 different species caught, this was an amazing trip. Not only are we coming back but I’m going to recommend him to our renters.
