Chewy's Charters And Guide Service is based in Panama City Beach, Florida. If you are looking for exploring the inshore and offshore potential with an experienced and knowledgeable Captain, this is your best choice.

You will go out aboard the 'It's Only Money', a 34 -foot Venture center console which comes powered by twin 300 HP Yamaha engines. She is a well-maintained fishing machine that can get you to the hottest spots in no time. Perfect for accommodating up to six anglers, the 'It's Only Money' is fitted with the latest in navigational electronics, safety equipment, and top-of-the-line gear. There is a full tower on board to spot any action going on beneath the surface and plenty of space for everyone to enjoy a quick and dry ride and to fish in comfort.

Anyone who is passionate about Florida fishing will absolutely enjoy it aboard the 'It's Only Money'. Captain Jonathon offers half and full-day packages that can be customized to meet your specific needs. You can go sight fishing for Cobia or big Tarpon, explore the waters close to the shore for Redfish, Trout, and Flounder. Or you can head out for some Red Snapper, Grouper, Vermilion Snapper, and Amberjack action. Whichever trip you choose, the captain will make sure you have a fun and productive experience.

All trips come with quality gear and tackle by Accurate and Diawa reel and rods! Fishing license is provided for everyone on board. You are welcome to bring a cooler for your drinks and snacks. I'd suggest sunglasses and sunscreen for everyone. Let's go catching!!

Half Day Trip on July 10, 20255 adults1 child
I don’t even like fishing - my teenage son does. The whole trip was a blast. Went to the first place and didn’t have any luck. It was fine though because Chewy is a great guy who keeps you entertained. He knew our current place wasn’t good at the moment so we headed out further and almost immediately started bringing in red snapper. Dude was great, gave you minor chores to do to keep you busy when you weren’t hauling in fish. He spent time really talking to my son and giving him insights and tips. Just ate the fish we caught for supper. We’ll be going out with Captain Chewy again next time!

Our family are basicLly beginner level fisherman and we managed to catch a lot of snapper (including a 25 lb) trigger fish, and many other cool fish. The guidance and patience from Capt. Chewy was precise and definitely one for the books. We had an absolutely amazing time!

Captain Chewy was a fantastic captain for our Kids Fishing Trip. He was patient with the littles (4 and 6) and worked hard to help catch a big, memorable fish for our older kid on board (14). Adults and kids all had a great trip and enjoyed learning from Chewy and hearing about his experiences.
Reported catch:
Mangrove Snapper

Chewy was the best! He knows his stuff. If there wasn’t something biting within a few minutes, he moved on to somewhere they were. Everybody pulled fish in and he was great with the kids as well. Awesome experience!
