My wife and I could not have asked for a better guide. Captain Max and his deckhand, Jacob, were exceptionally personable, knowledgeable, and truly made our experience a priority. From the moment we stepped on board, they made us feel welcome and comfortable, taking the time to tailor the trip to what we wanted most. Their expertise and passion for fishing were evident, and they went above and beyond to ensure we had a successful day on the water. We caught more fish than expected and had a blast the entire time. If you’re looking for a top-notch deep sea fishing experience in the Panama City Beach area, look no further—Captain Max and his crew are the best!

Great time with a great guide enjoyed the trip, the music and the captain very much. Fishing was a little slow but that’s because it’s fishing.
