Great trip
5-Hour Bottom & reef fishing on July 30, 20264 adults2 children

We had an amazing time on our offshore fishing trip as a family of 6! Our kids range in age from 9 to 21, and there was something for everyone to enjoy. The crew was friendly, patient, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and involved, even those who had never been offshore fishing before. The kids especially loved being able to catch their own fish, and it was so much fun watching everyone get excited when we got a bite! The whole experience was well organized, enjoyable, and created so many great memories for our family. We would definitely recommend this trip to other families looking for a fun adventure that kids and adults of all ages can enjoy. We’ll absolutely be back! 🎣🌊

Best saltwater fishing trip ever!
5-Hour Bottom & reef fishing on July 9, 20265 adults1 child

We had a wonderful trip with Captain Steve and Mark. They were very friendly and made sure that we caught fish. It was the first trip for my six-year-old grandson and he was very excited throughout the trip. We had six members of my family who fished and we caught a variety of different fish. We caught several red snapper and the highlight for me was when I pulled in a 28 inch red snapper. We also caught a Nurse shark but of course did not bring it in the boat and a large king mackerel which broke the line and several red fish. Captain Steve was very knowledgeable of the area and he put us own several good spots. If you are in the Panama City Beach area and want to catch some fish, call Captain Steve Szenay with “Nautical SeaZ Charters” and you won’t be disappointed!. Captain Steve also videoed and took photographs of our trip. He sent us our photographs and a link to a 40 minute video which showed everyone catching fish, this was a wonderful addition to our experience.

King Mackerel (Kingfish)

spring break
5-Hour Bottom & reef fishing on April 2, 20264 adults

Captain Steve and his partner was so good to me and my family. They took us straight 6 mile out in the Gulf .We caught fish right away but me and my family couldn't handle the wave so much lol, so Steve even help with motion sickness 😅 . My family decided to fish closer to shore and we slow down on catching fish. We still had fun and a great time. I cant wait until next yr so me and my family can take on the waves.

Hooked on fishing at a very young catching my first grouper at age 11 while vacationing in Key Largo out on a charter boat all day and that was the only fish I caught that day but it maybe want to fish more and more. Grew up in Michigan doing freshwater fishing. Moved to Panama City Beach in 2004. Been fishing in the Gulf ever since. Enjoy taking friends and friends of friends offshore and seeing the expression on their face of catching their first. When I see someone struggling at catching fish I talk with them ask can I show you a thing or two that might help, and they are delighted to where they are reeling in fish like their buddies. When you fish with me you will catch fish but also learn a few things that you use on your next fishing adventure.
