Trips are generally run with the help of a First Mate/ Second Captain. It’s customary to tip the Mate/ Second Captain. Spend the day with Mo Grouper and find out what the fishing in Panama City Beach is all about! Captain Ron and Captain Gidget will be your guides, bringing aboard years of local experience.
Depending on the season, you might hook into Red Snapper, Gag Grouper, Gray Triggerfish, Vermilion Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Amberjack, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Spanish Mackerel, and anything else that bites. During the trip, you might be trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!
Your day begins aboard a 26’ Sea Hunt center console that can carry up to 6 anglers. It has all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels. Live bait is available, Don't forget to tip the Captain 10–20% to show your appreciation.
There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more. It’s always wise to bring bottled water, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. No glass bottles.
While not required, be assured all safety precautions are followed. The Mo Grouper voluntarily requests the United States Coast Guard to complete a vessel safety check. Rest assured the Mo Grouper has passed the inspection and gone above and beyond on safety precautions.

Great people great time. We got onto several species of fish and had a great time. Fun crew. Crew really hustled to make sure we got the most out of our trip. I’ve already favorited this booking.

Captain Ron & Captain Gidget of Mo Grouper were amazing! They were very flexible moving our proposed fishing date around with the possibility of choppy waters due to Hurricane Milton. Ron & Gidget were wonderful teachers as this was our first time deep sea fishing. Our two boys had an absolute BLAST! The moment we left the docks, they asked that we fish again with Mo Grouper the next time we visit PCB. If you’re thinking about a fishing charter, this is it! 😁

We had an amazing trip, Captain Ron/Gidgett were very accommodating and personable to our family! They made our trip unforgettable for the children and ourselves, that huge king fish and huge Mahis were once in a lifetime! Highly recommend if you are wanting to make lifetime memories with the family. We will definitely book the MO Grouper next time in PCB!
