Had an amazing time!
3 Hour Trip – Inshore - 4:00 PM on July 28, 20262 adults

Captain Don was incredible. He is truly passionate about fishing and teaching people how to fish. He will not do it for you, but he WILL coach you through catching the WHOLE time. He is a genuine guy and extremely knowledgable. He knows the best spots to find fish and will accomodate to any request you ask. He was kind enough to allow us to purchase an extra hour even though he had been out all day morning to night because he really is that determined to make sure each group has the best experience. We would fish with him a million times over again and recommend him to ANYONE whether its your first time going or your millionth time. My boyfriend ended up catching an over 40 inch redfish and we have no experience at all deep sea fishing!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unforgettable Family Experience – Captain Don & Captain Ryan are the Best!
4 Hr Trip – Inshore/Nearshore - 4:00 PM on May 22, 20262 adults2 children

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Dauphins Fishing Charter! I had originally booked a 3-hour trip but ended up upgrading to a 4-hour trip, and I am so glad I did—nobody ever complained about a fishing trip being too long! From the very start, the communication was top-notch. Captain Ryan was excellent to work with through FishingBooker and seamlessly helped me adjust our booking from a 4:00 PM slot to a 6:00 AM slot. Captain Don was our captain for the day, and he was phenomenal. He is a incredibly warm gentleman and was absolutely amazing and patient with the kids. We caught a ton of fish, including Snappers, Black Snappers, Flounder, Grouper, Pig Fish, and Sheepshead. The highlight of the trip was definitely my 10-year-old daughter catching the most fish of the day! Captain Don even let my 12-year-old son drive the boat for a bit, which had him on cloud nine. To top it all off, we got our catch cleaned right at the marina, and Captain Don gave us a stellar recommendation to head over to Dat Cajun Place for lunch, where they cooked up our fresh catch exactly how we wanted it. Overall, it was a flawless, amazing experience. We will definitely be booking with them again the next time we are in Panama City Beach! Highly, highly recommend.

3 Hour Trip – Inshore on July 26, 20264 adults

Captain Don was the best! He knew exactly where to go to find the fish and worked hard the entire trip to put us on them. Even though we didn’t catch a lot of fish, we caught two huge redfish during the last 20 minutes of the trip, and it made the day even more exciting! Captain Don was incredibly kind and so patient with us, making the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend booking a trip with him, and we will definitely book with him again the next time we’re in PCB!

Great Trip!!
3 Hour Trip – Inshore - 10:00 AM on July 24, 20263 adults1 child

We had a great trip out with Captain Don! He was great with our two boys and really worked hard to try to find fish to catch. Unfortunately, the weather from earlier in the week affected our catch, but we still had so much fun. We did end up finding a school of Red Fish right at the beginning and our oldest hooked about a 30 lb fish. Thank you for a wonderful time! We highly recommend Dauphin’s for your next charter!
