Best Fishing Trip Ever!
5 Hour Trip – Once Upon A Wyld Time on September 13, 2026 • 3 adults
Absolutely amazing fishing trip from start to finish! The Captain was outstanding and made the entire experience fun, easy, and memorable. His coaching and instruction were top-notch. He took the time to explain what we were doing, helped everyone improve, and knew exactly how to put us on the fish. What really stood out was how great he was with the boys. He was patient, encouraging, and made sure they were involved and having a great time the entire trip. We caught some great fish, learned a lot, and made memories together that we’ll be talking about for a long time. Couldn’t have asked for a better Captain or experience. Hands down one of the best fishing trips we’ve ever taken. 5 stars all the way and we will absolutely be booking with him again!

Wow! Thank you so very much Dylan. The boys were gentlemen and natural fishermen so they made it easy. I had a lot of fun with your team and look forward to having you back on the boat. Don't let them forget who caught the biggest fish!

We had a AWESOME TIME!!!
4 Hour Trip – Catch & Release - 7:00 AM on September 18, 2026 • 4 adults
Captain Sean was terrific. He was very helpful and informative. We caught between 15-16 fish. I even hooked a bonnet head shark but it broke my line as Sean was trying to get it in the net. We laughed and made memories. We look forward to going out again with Sean when we come back for a visit. Would highly recommend this trip for anyone. Sean thank you from the bottom of our hearts for putting up with us Tennesseans. Much love to you and your family!!

4 Hour Trip – Catch & Release - 7:00 AM on July 23, 2026 • 2 adults
What a GREAT fishing trip we had with Captain Sean! While the water was around 90-92 degrees we still hooked on 23 fish on our morning run! (Red drum, trout, whiting, and a croaker) Capt Sean was so knowledgeable about the wildlife both in the water and above the water! We saw dolphins, mullet, blue crabs, gar, and many types of birds throughout the time! As far as the fishing and basics go, he made us feel very welcomed and taught us many tips and tricks that we never thought of before. If you're looking for a good time out in the water, I would highly highly recommend Sean! We will hopefully be back in October/November 🎣

My 7 year old had a blast~!
2 Hour Trip – Catch & Release - 7:00 AM on July 19, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children
My 7 year old has always wanted to go salt water fishing. We live about 8 hours away from Georgia so we didn’t particularly want to keep the fish. He did but we had a weekend filled with exploring Savannah. We book on the Panga Express. The captain was perfect! He was knowledgeable and explained and educated my son. When my son caught a fish the captain made sure to make a big deal about it! We caught several fish. Only complaint was we booked a 2 hour excursion we wished we had booked longer! My family and son will definitely be back soon. Thank you captain Sean for an amazing experience!

Thank you so very much Kaya. It was a pleasure having your family on the boat and I had SO much fun watching your talented son reel them in one after the next. He's on his way to being a pro!

Great Trip
3 Hour Trip – Catch & Release - 4:00 PM on April 30, 2026 • 2 adults
My wife and I did a 3 hour trip with Captain Sean. We had a great trip start to finish. Sean was very communicative and flexible on start time to avoid some bad weather. The marina is easy to find, and a great departure point. Captain Sean had us fishing quickly after launch and was great in showing us how to read the water and find fish, as well as how to effectively fish the water. Sean is super knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. A trip with Captain Sean is a great choice for anglers of all experience levels, and he is genuinely fun to fish with. Highly recommended.
