Kitchen Pass Charters
+58Support your veterans with Kitchen Pass Charters, as you discover the riches of Florida's Panhandle with a captain that spent 22 years in the Air Force.
Captain James Tew fished all his life in freshwater, before discovering the joys of saltwater fishing while stationed in Okinawa. He's never looked back since his passion for scuba diving. He promises to share his enthusiasm and lifetime's worth of experience with you, as he takes you to the prime fishing grounds of the Gulf of America.
Up to 6 guests are welcome aboard the spacious 26' Dusky center console to come diving. A light vessel, she'll whizz to the productive reefs and wrecks in no time, with the GPS, fishfinder, and VHF radio making sure you get on the fish. Bring your own drinks and snacks aboard and make yourself at home. Just make sure to bring your own equipment if you want to go diving.
You're in for a thrilling trip exploring the wrecks and reefs around Panama City beneath the surface with diving equipment.
All Capt. James asks is that you make sure you’re on time for the trip. In case of a delay without notifying the Captain, the trip will be canceled and the deposit will be non-refundable.
But, with such incredible fishing on offer within minutes from leaving the dock, you'll want to get there early to squeeze as much as possible out of your trip with Kitchen Pass Charters. Book now and discover some of the best fishing grounds in the country!

What a great trip with James & Tony!
2 Hour Trip–Bay Kids Trolling (AM) on April 6, 2023
We had such a wonderful time with Captain James & Captain Tony. They were super communicative ahead of time, letting us know what to bring and where to park. Once it was the day to fish, they picked us up and had everything ready to go. They had coolers with us for any drinks and snacks we brought. We took boys that were very excited to fish and man, did they catch fish! The boat was comfortable for all 6 of us and we felt like we were amongst friends immediately. We caught 33 fish and they even cleaned them for us, when the marina wasn’t open yet. We will definitely be back to fish with them again. Can’t say enough great things about them or the experience!

Perfect start to finish.
Special 2 hour trip for Joshua Nimmo on March 14, 2024
Communication and experience was just what you want, detailed and timely. Our family of four first timers had a great time in the bay and caught just the right amount of fish, everyone had chances on the rods and great photo opp at the end before cleaning the fish and bagging it on the spot. Would def go again and recommend! Thanks

Your captain
Panama City, Florida, United States
I have fished all my life in mostly freshwater until I was stationed in Okinawa with the Air Force, where I fell in love with scuba diving. Stationed here in Florida's Panhandle, I took up saltwater fishing and found I have a knack for it. After almost 22 years in the Air Force I decided to retire and start a charter with the two hobbies I fell in love with: fishing and diving.
