Long Shot Charters

Member since April 2019 Panama City Beach, United States
Background
Captain Alicia is a Panama City Beach native, a 3rd generation fisherman and the only female owned and operated charter company in Panama City. She has a lifetime of experience fishing the local waters which started at a very young age with her mother and father. She spent many days as a mate on her family’s boats and the local party fishing vessels, before acquiring her captains license in 2007. Captain Alicia started her own business back in 2011. She has enjoyed taking people out, especially children, introducing them to the local fisheries and what she has loved her entire life. Beginning with the 2022 season, Capt. Alicia transitioned to a larger vessel, the Big Shot, and Capt. Joe took over the helm of the Long Shot. Capt. Joe has been Capt. Alicia's first mate since the beginning and knows both the boat and industry like the back of his hand. Capt. Joe was born in Panama City and moved away as a kid but the Gulf of Mexico and his passion for fishing drew him back in his teens. His years of experience and dedication show in each of the happy customers that disembark the Long Shot every day! Once you go fishing with Capt. Alicia aboard the Big Shot or Capt. Joe aboard the Long Shot you’ll want to return to Panama City Beach for another excursion. Many of their clients become repeat customers and come back at least a couple of times each year. Book your next trolling or bottom fishing trip with Long Shot Charters and experience the hype for yourself!
