⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

When I started looking online for a fishing charter, it was overwhelming with the number of options out there. Able Fisherman Charters stood out with one of the larger boats and solid reviews, so I decided to book with them.

This trip was for me, my 11- and 14-year-old sons, and my 72-year-old father-in-law, so I was looking for something that would be fun and comfortable for everyone.

I initially booked a 4-hour charter starting at 10 AM, but within minutes Captain Steve Paul called to discuss the trip and suggested an earlier start for better fishing. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and set clear expectations. We ended up moving to a 7 AM start and extending to 5 hours so we could include bottom fishing.

At the dock, we met Captain Steve Paul and deckhand Matt, both were welcoming and professional. After a quick safety briefing, we headed out and quickly got into Spanish mackerel, which was a great start. We then moved to deeper water for bottom fishing, where Matt gave us helpful tips and got everything set up.

As soon as we dropped lines, the action was nonstop. For about three hours we were constantly catching fish, so much so that my boys were complaining their arms were tired. We hit our limit on redfish and pulled in a bunch of sea bass, triggerfish and Red Snapper. All told, we caught well over 100 fish, releasing many due to size limits (Triggers) or bag limits (reds) and out of season (Red Snapper).

Captain Steve Paul and Matt were excellent, attentive, fun, and made sure everyone in our group had a great time.

Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

Our trip with Able Fisherman Charters in Panama City, Florida was nothing short of incredible! From the moment we stepped onto the boat, we knew we were in for something special. Captain Steve is professional, knowledgeable, and welcoming, but I have to give a special shoutout to Matt, the deckhand, who truly made the experience unforgettable.

Matt was absolutely amazing with our children. His patience, humor, and enthusiasm kept them engaged and excited the entire time. He took the time to explain everything to them, from how to bait a hook to reeling in their very first fish. Watching their faces light up with each catch was priceless, and Matt celebrated every single moment with them like it was his own.

The trip was perfectly organized, and we caught more fish than we ever expected! The boat was clean and well-equipped, and the crew’s experience and passion for what they do really shined through. It wasn’t just a fishing trip, it was a family memory that we’ll cherish forever.

If you’re looking for a top-notch charter experience in the Panama City area, Able Fisherman Charters is the way to go. We can’t wait to come back, and we’ll definitely be booking again!

The Captain and First Mate kept us on the fish for our entire 6 hr. trip. We got our limit in Red Snapper and B-liners which was what we wanted to do. We had a great expedience with the Able One guys. We would recommend them to anyone and will use them again on our next trip.

great experience! Capt Steve and Deckhand Matt were top notch. Very patient and considerate with our 3 12 year old triplets. worked the waters well to find us good active fishing spots. Definitely recommend them and the charter!
