If you're ready to experience land based Shark Fishing anywhere in the Panhandle of FL (Panama city, Santa rosa, Destin, Fort Walton, Navvarre, or Pensacola), look no further than Panhandle Pursuit Shark Charters. Having logged many hours on these beaches, Captain Ricardo can tell you all about the local fishery. You are in very knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Depending on the season there are various species and sizes of sharks you can reel in with Capt Ricardo. Small sharks ranging from 1-4 ft long will most likely be a Sharpnose, Blacknose, or a Bonnethead shark. Medium sharks ranging from 5-9 ft long will most likely be a Lemon, Bull, Nurse, Sandbar, Dusky, or Scalloped Hammerhead shark. Big sharks ranging from 10-15 ft long would most likely be a Tiger, Mako, or a Greater Hammerhead.

You'll pursuit your catches by using huge Baits and Tackle from big fishing reels like Tiagra 130s to Heavy line and leader and baits up to 30 pounds, even the hooks are Monstrous!

Panhandle Pursuit Shark Charters is also a child-friendly charter service, so get 'em offline and onto the sand! Children will be kept safe 24/7 and also kept with a memorable experience with Capt Ricardo.

Capt Ricardo does not mind how many people you want to bring to your experience and is highly social and appropriate for any occasion.

The Trip covers your fishing license and shark permit, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Some sharks have special regulations, including if they can be kept or not for consumption. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. Make sure that if you plan on wanting to keep a shark to talk to your captain before the trip.

Capt Ricardo will have everything but food for your experience so be sure to eat or bring food before hand. A case of water will be provided for you.
Drinking / Smoking is allowed.

Shark day trip
4hr Shark Fishing Pursuit on February 7, 2026
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.

TWO HUGE HAMMERHEAD SHARKS
4hr Shark Fishing Pursuit on July 11, 2025
We caught two huge greater hammerhead sharks and one blacktip shark with Capt Ricardo only two hours into the trip. We booked a 4hr shark pursuit and my group had a blast being able to see such an animal twice. Capt Ricardo handled the sharks professionally and also random people roaming the beach too, keeping not only them safe but also the sharks safe and healthy for the release, as he said too much time on the beach could stress and kill the sharks. My group definitely recommends panhandle pursuit and can agree that he is a very knowledgeable person. I wish we could go back to see those sharks again because it was unbelievable. I will say that Capt Ricardo did forget the case of water, BUT He was able to bring a case out later into the trip for us and apologized about it. With that being said I can say you will Definitely and eventually get your water if he forgets it and I give props to him for making sure we were hydrated in that humid weather. Thank you Capt Ricardo, if we come down here again we will definitely see you and the sharks on the beach again.
