Ready to battle powerful sharks right from the beach?
Capt Ricardo, owner of Panhandle Pursuit shark Fishing delivers an unforgettable land-based shark fishing adventure across the Florida Panhandle, including Panama City, Santa Rosa Beach, Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Navarre, and Pensacola.
If you've ever dreamed of fighting a true ocean predator off the beach while also finding someone thats serious and driven with passion for the sport, this is your chance! I have spent the majority of my life fishing on these beaches and know the local shark fishery very well.
While with the crew and I, you may encounter a wide range of species including the legendary Great White shark. You'll pursue these powerful predators using custom heavy-duty shark tackle designed for serious battles, including Tiagra 130 reels, our own line and leaders, and fresh massive baits weighing up to 40 pounds. Every setup is built to handle all of the ocean's toughest apex predators. When people say they can take out baits in 7ft waves in stormy windy conditions, they're talking about me.
I have successfully landed two 1000+ lbs Great White Sharks in a day with my friends on my free time. I love catching sharks for families and am also a family friendly outfitters, no matter the age. Safety is always a priority for the clients and the sharks.
All fishing licenses, shark permits, rods, reels, tackle, and bait are included also with a case of water that is provided for all trips. I can bring your group up to 10 chairs so make sure you speak with me beforehand for how many are needed for your trip.
All you need to do is bring food, relax, and get ready for the fight of a lifetime.

Ricardo and his team did a great job. He is patient, knowledgeable, and clearly knows what he's doing when it comes to shore shark fishing. He brought excellent bait and top-notch gear, and he made all 10 of us feel comfortable throughout the trip. He went out of his way to make sure everyone had a great experience. If you're looking for a chance to catch a monster shark from the beach, I highly recommend booking a trip with Ricardo. He is passionate about what he does, and I have no doubt he will become a star in the shore shark fishing world. Thanks again for an unforgettable trip!
Thank you guys for the review, i really appreciate it and i apologize for not catching a shark, that is how it goes sometimes sadly. I had a great time with you guys and am looking forward to catching some sharks with you guys in the future, thank you again!
My family and I traveled to Destin for our first time together and chose Ricardo as our guide to help us with our very first ever shark fishing experience. He was very social, friendly, knowledgeable and overall very helpful making the entire experience comfortable and we really had a great time. He has a huge passion for shark fishing and you can definitely tell. He brought all the bait, poles, and gear that you’d need and had it completely set up when we arrived. Ricardo had 5 different poles set up and used bait such as sheep head fish and stingrays to catch a great variety of sharks. Ricardo also had chairs set up as well making it easier on everyone and for comfort while we stayed at the beach during our 5 hour experience. We were able to catch a Bull shark and a Blacktip shark during our visit. Ricardo will show you how to do the entire process but will also do it for you if needed. Everyone helped one another throughout the entire experience with no stress and no worries he will make certain that you and your family stay safe and have fun! I highly recommend booking with him and trusting him as your guide. He is most definitely in great shape and can handle these sharks with no issues. We were extremely impressed and we will be back again one day!

We had a great day shark fishing off the beach with Panhandle Pursuit Shark Charters. This young man is very professional and knows what he is doing when it comes to shark fishing. We booked a 4 hour shark trip in Navarre beach and caught a huge sand bar shark! Best wishes for Capt Ricardo with this awesome and exhilarating job. Thank you for an unforgettable experience for me and my kids and we will definitely be back this coming up summer for the tiger sharks he talked to us about.
