Kids want to do it again!!!!

1 Hour Trip – Catch & Release - 9:00 AM on December 26, 2025 • 2 adults • 3 children

what a great experience and memory we made! Captain was very knowledgeable! We could tell he enjoys being a fishing guide ( and related to ocean) !!! First of all, it was very safe boat trip. The weather was beautiful but water was cold, so we weren’t able to catch the fish within one hour. However our kids felt fish biting, learned how to fish/how to use fishing rod, and enjoyed the experience so much!!!! They were not sad or complained at all! Captain made tons of efforts so kids could catch fish, was SO patient with my 3 kids who had no idea how to fish, and spent 90min with us. Kids want to do it again and I would say this was our highlight of the winter break! thank you so much!!

Dock Fishing

4 Hour Trip – Catch & Release on October 9, 2025

Despite unfavorable weather conditions and not being able to get some boat time on the water, Capt. Sean still made it a memorable experience; all from the dock!!!! Our boy caught 2 fish and quickly became the highlight of our Savannah trip for him! Although the rest of us did not catch anything, we had some worthy bite action! Capt Sean had great energy, was super knowledgeable and engaging for our kiddos. Heck, even us parents learned a ton! Book your next family adventure with Panga Express, you won’t be disappointed!!!!!

Captain Sean was wonderful!

2 Hour Catch & Release Fishing on August 1, 2025 • 4 adults

We had an amazing time on this fishing charter! Captain Sean was incredibly knowledgeable—not only about fishing, but also about the Savannah area, which made the trip even more interesting. He was super friendly, patient, and made the experience fun and educational. The boat and equipment were great, and everything was really well organized. We especially appreciated that he came prepared with water to drink on such a hot day—great attention to detail! Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a memorable time fishing on the water.

3 Hour Catch & Release Fishing on August 5, 2025 • 2 adults

Sean was incredibly accommodating from start to finish, making planning a surprise birthday trip effortless and even being flexible enough to reschedule when our first outing got rained out. He came prepared with absolutely everything you could imagine—right down to fresh live bait—so all I had to do was show up and enjoy! Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned angler, he has something to teach you, and I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a fun, memorable fishing experience!!

Thanks Macy! You and Will are great boat company. Don't let Will forget who caught the biggest fish (you)! I had my hand on the leader that gator trout was an IGFA legal catch!

Sean checks all the boxes. Punctual, safety first, prepared, organized, clean, great attitude, respectful, warm, open, conscientious, and above all intelligent. He is a great communicator which when blended with his knowledge and caring attitude make him the ideal guide. Yes, we caught fish too. A perfect day in the water.
