Kid friendly Deep sea 6 hour fishing trip! 3rd of July
6 hour bottom fishing morning trip on July 3, 20262 adults1 child

Want to take a minute and brag on the captain Keith and his communication. I was unsure of the address but he politely replied in a timely manner letting me know exactly where I needed to be and what time the following morning. The deckhand mark could not have been better with my 6-year-old son bringing in a whopping 48 fish! These guys know exactly what they're doing. Don't be fooled by a boat with a couple scuff marks on it. We go fishing a lot and these guys with the brand new fancy boats might have all the bells and whistles but these guys really know about fishing. Not only did they extend our boat trip an extra hour without any additional charge but the deckhand Mark made it his personal task to help my son have one of the best fishing trips we could have asked for. Again don't judge a book by its cover these guys are the real deal. We booked the trip last minute day before they took us out and it was a blast. We fished so hard that my son slept on the top of the diesel motor on the way home. Couldn't be more pleased with these guys!

Last minute trip
6 hour bottom fishing morning trip on July 30, 20253 adults

We booked a trip very last minute but Golden Legacy Charters were able to accommodate our requests. Captain Austin and deck hand Gage worked their butts off keeping us catching fish. Gage moved like no other deck hand I've seen. That man never stops while trying to get you hooked up. When we stopped to do some drop fishing Captain Austin was quick to move us to several locations till we found bites. We caught a number of fish and while some were smaller, we caught several keepers as well. While the ship is without some of the larger ship emmenites, Golden Legacy Charters still puts you on the fish with a very competitive price and an experience that's hard to beat.

Great time!
Afternoon 6 hour bottom fishing on June 18, 20255 adults1 child

This was our second time on this boat. The captain worked hard to put us on fish but dolphins kept us from catching a lot. The crew was disappointed in the results but we were not. We had an awesome time and plan on doing another trip with them. If you are looking for a great crew and and great fishing trip, pick this boat and crew!

First trip with Golden Legacy
4hr afternoon spainsh trip on July 15, 20254 adults2 children

We had a great time. Caught some nice fish. A storm hit about half way through the trip, but we never gave up and caught more great fish. I will definitely do it again when I come back to Panama City Beach.
