    This is the best charter on the gulf coast!

    12 Hour Trip – Jun-Aug11 adults

    If you’re looking for an unforgettable offshore fishing experience, I highly recommend Chances R Charters! Our group of 11 went on a 12-hour trip, and it was hands down the best fishing experience I’ve ever had. Captain Stephen and our deckhand, Christian, were knowledgeable, personable, and worked incredibly hard to make sure everyone had a great time. Their expertise put us on the fish all day, and we ended up catching an amazing variety, including mahi, cobia, wahoo, red snapper, beeliner, and grouper. Whether you’re an experienced angler or it’s your first offshore trip, this crew goes above and beyond to make the day enjoyable and successful. We made great memories, caught plenty of fish, and can’t wait to book another trip. Five stars all the way!

    Bes trip ever !!

    6 Hour Trip - 11:30 AM12 adults2 children

    What an incredible fishing trip! We had a group of 12 people and had an absolute blast from start to finish. The captain knew exactly where to take us, and the fishing was outstanding. We caught 42 fish total, including red snapper, grouper, and b-liners! A special shoutout to Christian, the deckhand, who was absolutely amazing. He worked nonstop helping our large group, baiting hooks, untangling lines, preparing fish, and making sure everyone had a great experience. We kept him busy all day, and he never missed a beat. His hard work and positive attitude made the trip even more enjoyable. The boat was excellent—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with an air-conditioned cabin, bathroom, and bunks, which made the day even more enjoyable. Everything about this charter exceeded our expectations. We made great memories, caught a ton of fish, and had an amazing time. We highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun and successful fishing trip. We will definitely be back next year!

    Amazing family tine

    6 Hour Trip12 adults1 child

    Capt put us on the fish, multiple times. Sharks got us here and there, but thats fishing. Christian is a top notch deck hand. He is very personable and makes the trip enjoyable. I highly recommend this boat. I had a group of 13 and he kept it rolling smooth. If there was a negative it was the fish cleaning. Not the boat’s fault at all. We waited 2 hours for our fish after the trip. There is an additional fee for fish cleaning at the market. $1 per pound. Cheap, but be prepared.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review for Chances R Charters – Panama City Beach

    6 hour at 1308 adults

    If you’re looking for an unforgettable deep‑sea fishing experience in Panama City Beach, Chances R Charters is the crew you want. Captain Brookins and First Mate Christian delivered a trip that went far beyond a standard charter, they created a memory my family will be talking about for years. Despite the waters being a bit rocky, Christian never missed a beat. He kept the atmosphere upbeat, checked on everyone constantly, and made sure my dad’s early birthday trip felt special from the moment we stepped on board. His mix of professionalism, patience, and genuine enthusiasm made the entire experience feel personal and effortless. Captain Brookins ran the boat with total confidence. You can tell immediately that he knows these waters inside and out. He put us right on the fish, adjusted quickly to the conditions, and made safety feel natural rather than restrictive. His calm leadership set the tone for the whole trip. What stood out most was how team‑oriented the two of them were. They worked seamlessly together, joking with us, teaching us, celebrating every catch, and it created an energy that made even the rougher moments fun. It never felt like we were just customers; it felt like we were part of the crew. If you want a charter that’s equal parts adventure, expertise, and genuine hospitality, Chances R Charters is the one. We’ll absolutely be booking again. See you May 2027!
