Jichelle Oglesby5.0VerifiedBest trip EVER!!
2hr Quick SHOT. on August 21, 2026 • 2 adultsMy wife and I recently went on a fishing trip in Panama City Beach with Tyler and Greg, and it was truly an amazing experience. From start to finish, they were incredibly friendly, professional, and patient because we are beginners at fishing. We learned so much from them throughout the time, and they really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. We enjoyed it so much that we’re already planning our next trip back! We can’t wait to bring the rest of our family along and book a longer excursion with them next time. If you’re looking for a top-notch fishing experience in PCB, I highly recommend booking with Tyler and Greg. You won't be disappointed!
Michael LaneRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNewFamily fishing expedition
4 Hour Trip on September 19, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 childCaptain Tyler and mate Greg were fantastic and wonderfully accommodating. We went with a large group including kids and these guys got us into a ton of fish. We caught several species including Bonita, mackerel, snapper, mahi and amberjack. All of our crew caught a ton of fish and had a great time. The crew was super friendly, knowledgeable and a blast to be with! Highly recommend!
William Cummings5.0VerifiedNewIncredible Shark Fishing Trip
3 Hour Trip - Shark Night on September 30, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 childrenWe had an amazing time shark fishing! The captain took us to our first spot, and we immediately started catching sharks. We ended up catching over 10 sharks at that first spot alone! The captain knew exactly where to take us and made the whole experience exciting and unforgettable. Highly recommend this trip for anyone looking for an awesome shark fishing adventure!
Chloe Hubbard5.0VerifiedBest Captain Ever
5hr fun run on June 30, 2026 • 5 adultsWith 5 of us all wanting to catch and see something different, he got to all of us with the time he had. Got to see a shark and have her on the line a couple times, caught some nice big fish, and enjoyed good company with good views. Captain John is super nice, knows his fish, and knows how to find them. Highly recommend going to see him with one goal in mind and a lot of time, he’ll definitely see to getting you to your goal. Have fun! And thank you Captain John!
Liz Breshears5.0VerifiedFavorite Night Of Vacation
3 Hour Trip - Shark Night on August 19, 2026 • 2 adultsThis was so much fun. Captain Tyler jumped through hoops to make our shark fishing trip happen. An unexpected storm blew in and lingered longer than we had hoped. He pushed back the departure time untill the weather cleared and that allowed us to continue our trip. We caught several sharks. I believe it was six, along with a snapper and a catfish. I will definitely hit Captain Tyler up again for our next fishing adventure. Well worth it!
Aaron ShaverRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBest trip we've had!!
5hr fun run on June 12, 2026 • 2 adultsBest trip we've been on, ever!!! Ive spent plenty of time in the woods and on the water, so i realize that nothing is ever guaranteed. Captain Tyler did everything he could do the get us on fish , a slow start, but we ended up getting on them!!! Also did a great job helping my wife who had never caught a fish, think she ended up with 10 or 12, at one point she was reeling them in one after another. Great guy and Captain, would certainly recommend.!!
Paige Sawyer5.0VerifiedNewBest trip!
4 Hour Trip on September 18, 2026 • 6 adultsWe had such a great experience! Captain Tyler was extremely helpful and made sure we had the best time. He was great at making everyone feel comfortable, whether you’re experienced or a first-timer. We would definitely recommend this charter!
Matthew Spears5.0VerifiedNewGreat trip
8 Hour Trip on September 13, 2026 • 3 adultsGreat captain and deck hand, they were fantastic, handled all the bait and fish and were very fun to talk too. Great spots as well, we limited out of almost every fish. Would definitely recommend them and will book again
Jeremiah SampleRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNewCapt. Tyler and Greg are a great team!
5hr fun run on September 21, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 childYou wont be disappointed. They put us on some great fish and everyone had a great time. They even took the time to give some great pointers to the kids and we had a blast.
Heather RauchRepeat angler5.0VerifiedOur second time!!
5hr fun run on March 19, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenThis was our second time booking with REEL Viking Charter (first time with Captain John John and Tyler, second time with Captain Tyler and Captain Wade), and my kids and I had a blast! From the first line being dropped, my kids were reeling in fish. They were both so wonderful with my kiddos. We ended up with 22 fish, but we caught and released several more than that even. I highly recommend these guys and plan to book again for future visits to PCB!

Thank you both so much for such a thoughtful review! Having you aboard and getting to share our love of fishing with you all was an absolute pleasure. Knowing you left with great memories, learned a few things along the way, and are already planning to come back with the family is exactly why we love what we do. Greg and I truly appreciate the trust you put in us, and we can’t wait to welcome y’all back for an even bigger adventure next time! 🎣⚓️

We had a good trip with Captain Tyler. The water was pretty rough at the end of our trip and we did have some boat problems, but he handled everything well and kept us safe. You could tell he knew what he was doing, and he did a great job navigating the rough water. We still caught plenty of fish, and he worked hard to make sure we had a good time despite the conditions. I'd definitely fish with him again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a great captain.
Thank you, Nicholas, for the thoughtful review. Your safety and experience on the water are always our top priorities, especially when conditions get challenging. We truly appreciate your trust and are glad we were able to keep everyone safe, put you on plenty of fish, and still make it a memorable trip. It means a lot to know you’d fish with us again, and we’d be honored to have you back aboard! Hope to see you all again soon.

Thank you so much for the incredible review, Chloe! We’re thrilled Captain Tyler was able to make your trip such a memorable one. We’re glad your group got to experience a little bit of everything—from seeing sharks to catching some great fish—and we’re so glad everyone had a great time. We truly appreciate your recommendation and your kind words about the Captain . We hope to welcome you back aboard Reel Viking Charters for another unforgettable adventure soon. Tight lines! 🎣🌊
