5 hour Bottom Fishing

VERIFIED

We booked a 5-hour offshore fishing trip with Captain Keith and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we stepped on the boat, Captain Keith was incredibly nice and professional. We told him we were hoping to catch some big fish to take home and he absolutely delivered. Not only did we reel in several impressive fish, but we even caught a shark! The whole trip was exciting, well-organized, and full of action.If you're looking for a knowledgeable and friendly captain who knows how to put you on the fish, Captain Keith is the one to book with. We’ll definitely be back for another trip soon!

The Best on the Sea

VERIFIED

Captain Keith definitely knows exactly where to go to catch tons of fish and how to catch them. What amazed me the most was his kindness and patience with my boys. One knew how to fish but my youngest has never been fishing and it was always a dream of his to catch “his first fish”. Not only did Captain Keith help him learn to fish but helped make his dream come true, followed by fish after fish after fish. This is a Captain who truly loves what he does and it shows in everything he does while out with him. He made today amazing for both my boys and me. Watching him fight that king with my oldest had them talking all the way home. We will definitely be back. If you want the best, definitely choose Old Town Charters. Thank you.

Captain was awesome, put us on fish as soon as we got to the spot. 2 minutes was probably the longest I waited for a bite. We heard other Captains on the radio complaining they were having trouble finding the fish. Not us. Constant action. I actually got burnt out from pulling them in one after another. Then when we were coming back In and our trip was over, we saw fish running so the captain threw out 2 lines even though he didn't have to and I caught a nice king mackerel. It was my first time deep sea fishing and Captain Keith didn't disappoint. We only did the 5 hour charter and have enough fillets to last us a few months. If we are ever in Panama City again, Captain Keith is the only charter we are going to trust, knowing we are going to catch fish.

Family Fun Excursion Short Trip

Such a great trip!

VERIFIED

Captain Keith was great from the get-go! He contacted us ahead of time to let us know the morning weather didn’t look great and asked us if we wanted to move our trip to later in the day so it was more comfortable for us, which was great because we had my 5 year old son with us! He was ready for us when we got there, asked what we were looking for out of our trip and planned where to take us from there! The whole point was a new experience for my 5 year old and my husband (who loves to fish) so Keith was great at making sure we found fish for my son but trying to find a big bite for my husband. In the end, we had an amazing boat ride on a nice day, both my husband and son caught fish, and there were smiles all around! Captain Keith was one of the only charters I found that offered a short family trip like this that didn’t mind that my son was 5…I very much appreciated it! We will be back!
