Justin Steele

Outfitter

Captain Justin has one goal on his Panama City fishing trips, and that's to ensure that his groups get the most out of fishing in Panama City Beach. To achieve such a lofty goal, he outfits every trip with a hard-working, experienced crew, the latest tackle, and a clean and well-maintained boat.

Not only does he know where to find fish, but Captain Justin also provides a friendly and professional service as well, all aboard one of the best charter boats along the Emerald Coast.

Captain Justin is joined by Captain Brandon Barfield, an experienced and friendly captain as well. Depending on your trip, you'll get to experience a first-class fishing experience with either Captain Brandon or Captain Justin, and will be treated to plenty of first-hand advice and knowledge.

Captain Justin looks forward to hosting your trip of a lifetime fishing the waters surrounding Panama City Florida!

Captain failed to warn us about weather that caused extremely rough seas and takes us out to ten foot high waves. He decided it was too rough for him after ten minutes of fishing and My deep sea trip I booked turned into a just off the shore fishing trip without any discussion or refund offer. I am looking for a quality experience with honesty not a company that just wants to take your dollar....

Response from Captain Experiences:

Hey Joshua, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration. It’s concerning that Capt. Justin didn’t provide a clear warning about the rough weather conditions, and we agree that shifting the trip closer to shore without any discussion or refund offer isn’t what you should expect. You deserve an honest, quality experience, and we’ll be following up with Capt. Justin to address this. We’ve reached out with a discount and would...

Great experience, the guides were amazing and patient with the whole group. They get 15 thumbs up from us all. I highly recommend them, especially for beginners. We will be back and hopefully we get the same guides again. Please tip them, they deserve that and more.

Justin was professional, once explained the basic rules,he disappeared into cabin until we landed. No access to captains helm was granted, so we couldn't see instrumentation etc. Brandon worked hard and was very pleasant. Was surprised that we had to have fished cleaned by third party. Also surprised that 4 hr trip was dock to dock. All my past trips started at start time and we were fishing until time was up. So we paid for drive to site and they gave us return trip. Actually we only fished 2 hrs. Captain worked hard to keep us on fish. They were very small, but he warned us they would be.You need to be much clearer on your web site about fishing time and fish size, also you clean your own.
