  Great Experience

  4 Hour Trip - 10:00 AM on July 10, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

  We had a great family trip and loved getting to see our kids experience something most people never get to do. It was me, my husband (who works way too hard), our boys ages 11, 13, and 15, and our 14‑year‑old niece. The start was slow, with a few naps in the cooled bunk house — which honestly helped since my 13‑year‑old got nauseated. My 11‑year‑old caught the first Spanish mackerel and then went right to sleep. My oldest has an ankle injury but still stayed out on deck the entire time. Even though I didn’t fish so the kids could enjoy it, I had a great time watching them. We ended up catching Spanish mackerel, a small mahi mahi, and a few bonitos. We lost a couple fish, had one line cut clean through, and even hooked a monster that bent the hook straight. The kids were fired up. Our captain got us out and back safely, and our deckhand was laid‑back and easy to talk to — no awkward moments at all. We’d definitely do it again. Next time we’ll have to try bottom fishing.

  a great experience!

  4 Hour Trip on July 6, 2026 • 5 adults

  wow! we have a wheelchair bound person in our party and were skeptical that a charter could accommodate and were proven wrong! 4 mean lifted him easily into and out of the boat chair and all. it was a very practice move and my brother felt secure and conifent through the experince. he wasnt able to get into the cabin or use the rest room as the boat does move quite a bit and there are 2 steps into the cabin about 4-6 inches tall and 3 inside the cabin to the bathroom about the same. however we brought sun protection and the first maye kept a cooling clothe on him at all times and no one was burned or too hot! very impressed with yhr thoughtfulness of the crew! we also all caught fish, the first mate was extremely instructive and helpful when it came to using the rods and getting fish and the captian made sure to go where the fish were biting (if we didnt get a nibble in 5-10 min he took us to another spot where we did!) not only did we have an excellent trip and caught over 30 fish at the end the fish cleaning shop had closed and our accommodation was an hour away. But first man Matt didnt let us fret for a second! he quickly volunteered to clean out first (above and beyond in my opinion) and bagged them while we ran to dollar general for coolers and ice. i truly cannot say enough great things highly HIGHLY recommend this trip to other ADA fisherman and families!

  Great trip for the family.

  Full Day Trip on August 8, 2026 • 4 adults

  We arrived at 6:00 and the Captian and First Mate was there to greet us. We were given a quick safety breifing about the to do’s and not to do’s in case of an emergency. As the Captain was driving us out we had a good time chatting with the first mate talking about various things as well as sharing of jokes. When it was time to fish we were reeling them in left and right so much so that we cought our limit on vermillion snapper after the second stop. We caught some trigger fish that were of decen size and had fun catching other fish even though they were out of season. All in all it was a grwat experience and we will definitely consider booking with them again.

  Great Trip for Young Anglers

  4 Hour Trip on July 2, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 children

  We were down on vacation and booked a 4 hr trip bottom fishing for 3 young anglers ages 7,8,and 9. The captain and our deck hand Matt were fantastic. They were very helpful and did a great job of explaining how to do everything and explaining why. They were very patient with the boys. We caught multiple species and were able to bring in a nice haul of fish. i would strongly recommend anyone looking at going on a charter to book with Able One.

  Great fishing and great crew!

  4 Hour Trip - 10:00 AM on May 19, 2026 • 2 adults

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars! Had an awesome experience with Able Fisherman Charters in Panama City Beach. Captain Steve was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip a great time from start to finish. We got on the fish and ended up catching snapper, grouper, and triggerfish, which made the trip even better. Matt was working his tail off the whole trip, always helping us rebait our lines, keeping things moving, and giving helpful tips along the way. Not to mention all the jokes and laughs the whole time. You could tell he really cared about making sure everyone had a good time and stayed on fish. The boat was clean, everything was organized, and you could tell Captain Steve really knew where to go to get us on the fish. Great memories and an all-around great experience. Highly recommend Able One Charters and would definitely book again!
