Lindsey Holt5.0Unforgettable 4th of July Fishing Adventure !!
4 Hour Trip on July 4, 2025We had an incredible time on our fishing trip—it was truly the highlight of our vacation. Everything was flawless from the moment we booked to the end of the excursion. Enjoying it on the morning of the 4th of July made it an unforgettable way to start the day and the perfect way to wrap up our trip. This experience was absolutely worth it, and we would do it all over again in a heartbeat if given the chance.
Brian HollandRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFamily deep sea fishing trip July 3rd 2025
6 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM on July 3, 2025 • 5 adultsWe had a great time deep sea fishing with Gulf Coast Excursions. Both captains on board were very nice and helpful. They have years of experience with fishing and even doing dolphin tours. We loved the boat, the cabin is very clean and has a full bathroom and cold AC. Just an overall great experience. We will definitely be booking them again.

Fishing with Gulf Coast
4 Hour Trip on May 6, 2024Derrick and his crew were amazing from start to end on every aspect of our time. The unique ability to allow you to stay hands on and to also make fishers feel tended too was amazing. The Reel Lady is a great boat and allows a very comfortable style of fishing when commuting to each hearty spot. This was the greatest charter experience I’ve ever experienced and will be back any time I’m in PCB for a vacation. The media attached speaks for itself showing the amount of joy we had while on board.
FishingBooker Member5.0My kids first time fishing!
6 Hour Trip on June 19, 2024What a great experience! My kids first time fishing in the Gulf and we couldn’t be happier. Captain Derrick and Wes were so patient and great with the kids. We started our trip out catching bait fish and moved on to catching Snappers and Grouper. We will definitely be back to fish with them. Also, quick note, the boat is great for families any age. The AC was cold and having a nice bathroom was fabulous.
Mike Stanford5.0Great family trip
6 Hour Trip on June 1, 2025Captain Derrick and crew were so nice and professional. Capt. Ron was so great with the kids and helped and made our kids feel comfortable. We will definitely be back to fish with Gulf Coast Excursions.

6 Hour Trip on June 29, 2024It was our first time fishing and Captain Derrick was highly recommended. He was very patient and worked really hard to make sure we had a great day. We caught so many fish! The boat was great, had a bathroom and air condition that was so nice to take a break. Wonderful experience, can not wait to come back to PCB to fish with Derrick again!
