    Even though the weather did not cooperate at first, Captain John John was able to work things out and get us out on the water for an amazing trip! Had lots of fun, heard some crazy tales and caught many species of fish. Our deck hand Drew did an fantastic job as well. Such an amazing experience, thank you guys, we will definitely set up future fishing trips with Kingslayer Charters.

    Capt. Greg did an outstanding job from start to finish. He was a total pro & texted ahead of time to give us a quick heads up for what to expect. Boat was super clean & in really great shape with plenty of comfortable seating. We were on Redfish from the jump!! Also caught a few beautiful grouper & other species. Greg was really patient with our 9yo, 13 yo, and 15 yo. Awesome trip for kids or experienced fishermen. We will definitely take another charter trip w Greg next time we are in PCB.

    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.

    We had an awesome trip with Justin. He worked his butt off to put us on fish and we got our limit Thanks Justin

    Captain John and is mate did an excellent job in making sure my family had a very good experience in the golf fishing. Withing the first hours we already had all of the fish we could take. I would give it a 6 star but it looks like it's not possible so 5 it is. If you are still thinking about booking with Cap John don't think twice just go for it, him and is mate will make sure you have a good and safe experience.

    Did the 4 hour morning fishing charter with Captain. I highly recommend this charter. I found out the night before that captain Jason’s son Dylan was going to be taking us out instead of Captain Jason. Dylan was so good with my 11 & 13 year old boys, we learned so much. We couldn’t go on the ocean because it was a windy rough day and we were on a smaller boat. It was only my boys and I plus Captain Dylan. Captain Dylan assured us that there were plenty of big fish to be caught in the bay. One of my boys caught a shark and the other caught some snappers and a saltwater catfish. I caught a 42lb black drum! It was a great father/sons experience.

    If you’re wanting to go out and rip some salt water fish lips Captain Billy is the man for the job. Me and my boys went out and with 5 minutes of our hooks being in the water we had fish in the boat.

    Cody G. with Billy Van W. of Panama City Beach, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Every year a rent a boat to go fishing, but now I can say this was the best, I'm planning to go back at the end of this month and I'll book this boat again. They are the BEST. Highly recommend it. But please give me a chance to rent it when I'm there. Blessings.

    It was an awesome experience. With a great boat captain a true leader in what he does. Was there for everyone’s needs answered any question we had. Definitely recommend going with captain Russell!

    Duane M. with Russell F. of Panama City, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Disappointing! They did not get one bite the whole time. I was hoping for a small refund of some kind. The boys had looked forward to this and to not see a shark or get a bite really let them down. Would love to try again next year.
