250+ reviews
I grew up in Panama City and have lived here for almost 50 years. As a young boy, I loved to fish and as I got older I knew I wanted to be on the water every day. I started out as a deckhand and worked to obtain a USCG Captain's license. I have fished the local waters as well as down in the FL Keys. Fishing is my passion and I wouldn't want it any other way. One of the best parts about being on the water is the people I take out – if they are having a great time, I am having a great time.

    Amazing trip!

    Captain's Choice2 adults

    We had a great experience on our fishing trip! Our captain was very knowledgeable and clearly an experienced fisherman. He genuinely put in the effort to get us on fish and didn’t waste time sitting in one spot if they weren’t biting. He had some great spots for us and kept moving when needed, which we really appreciated. He also went out of his way to see if we could find any mahi. Unfortunately, they just weren’t biting that day, but we really appreciated him trying anyway. You could tell he wanted us to have the best trip possible. He was also very friendly and easygoing throughout the entire trip. Toward the end, we spotted some dolphins in the distance, and even though dolphin watching wasn’t part of our trip, he was nice enough to stop and get us closer so we could get a better look at them. Overall, we had a really good experience and would definitely recommend him. If you’re looking for a captain who knows what he’s doing, has good fishing spots, and will actually make an effort to put you on fish, he’s a great choice!

    Amazing Vacation Experience

    2 Hour Kids Trip — Catch/Release4 adults2 children

    We are so glad that we booked this fishing experience with Captain Sullivan. It was a last-minute decision, but it allowed us to create some amazing memories together with our family of four. Our son loves fishing and he was able to catch a catfish and a spotted trout. Even our daughter who was hesitant to go fishing really enjoyed herself and didn’t complain once during the charter or put down her pole. She even caught a couple fish along the way. You can tell Captain Sullivan truly cares about his guests and wants to create a memorable experience for them.  Highly recommend and we will come back if we’re in the area again.

    Understood the assignment!!!

    4 Hour Trip — Bottom Fishing AM4 adults2 children

    Let’s just say Captain delivered. Absolutely a great fisherman. We spoke the night before to set some expectations and discuss what I wanted as a customer. Our trip was supposed to be from 7 AM to 11 AM. We arrived at 6:45 and immediately got on the boat and headed out . We did the nearshore bottom fishing and caught a crazy amount of fish. Not many keepers, but that wasn’t the assignment. My 12 year-olds first trip and he probably caught 50 fish. Captain kept him baited up and he was reeling them in two at a time. On top of that we caught a variety including trigger, snapper, grouper, b liner, and a little highlight of bonita. It’s not about what you take home at the end of the day. It’s about the patience with kids, great conversation, and effort put into giving us an experience. Captain had no issue giving us a little extra time and then even ran us over to the barbecue boat on Shell Island for some grub! This was the perfect four man trip. Book Sully today before someone else does!

    Outstanding time on the water!

    Captain's Choice2 adults

    Capt Sully was patient and took time to teach us (our first trip off shore). Meet up location was easy. Good conversation of our goals and current bite to match up. Sully was awesome with my 17 old son first saltwater experience. We caught red snapper, grouper and trigger fish. Capt was very knowledgeable of reel limits and seasons. Even took time to explain sonar, tides, depths, structure, etc. would gladly recommend Capt Sully

What's biting with Capt. Sully Charters in Panama City

While vacationers make their way out of town, there's never been a better time to come. The great weather brings with it great fish, with Wahoo bite offshore, and Redfish, Pompano, Flounder, and Mackerel inshore.
