Fishing has been a Kelley family tradition for decades, and Capt. Mark Kelley, the owner, has inherited his ancestor’s passion for angling – he’s been exploring the waters of Panama City for over 35 years now. He uses tips, tricks, and knowledge that’s been passed down for generations to run a whole host of angling adventures on board the “Lady Kelley”!

The crew specializes in bottom fishing, trolling, and Shark fishing – so whether you’re looking to explore the depths of these waters, hook tasty Mackerel, or come face-to-gills with notorious sea beasts, they have just the trip for you. Anglers of all ages and skill levels are welcome to join them on board his vessel, and they’ll show you the ropes when it comes to reeling in your dream catch.

She’s decked out with GPS, fishfinder, a full toilet, air-conditioning, and plenty of room to take in the local scenery.
