Ready to battle powerful sharks right from the beach?
Capt Ricardo, owner of Panhandle Pursuit Shark Charters 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, on my free time.
I love catching sharks for families and am also a family friendly charter, no matter the age. Safety is always a priority for the clients and the sharks. I make sure everything works more than perfect for my clients, Ensuring all my clients I work hard to get everyone sharks for there trip and also ensuring a fun, safe, and memorable experience.
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. Come fish with the experts of land-based shark fishing.

Quincy Gantt5.0VerifiedSo much fun
5 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing Pursuit on August 31, 2026 • 3 adultsRicardo worked so hard to give us a great experience, and that’s exactly what we had. He was very knowledgeable about fishing and knew how to read the conditions for the trip. You can tell he is passionate about what he does and really wants his clients to have a good time. I would recommend him and fishing this way on the beach over any boat. This was such a fun and unique thing to do, and it is something we will remember forever.
