    Capt. John was great with my 10 yr old and 8 yr old. Tried trolling and when that wasn’t working, quickly switched to another strategy and got them on fish. Would highly recommend, especially if fishing with kids! They had a blast.

    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.

    Kathryn B. with Greg G. of Panama City, Florida

    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.

    Amazing trip! Great captain and deck mate! Highly recommend.

    Mark D. with Stephen B. of Panama City Beach, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    A very disappointing experience today. I understand that it is impossible to guarantee fish, but a professional guide should, at the least, have live bait to fish with. He did attempt to catch some beforehand and during our trip with no success. Should have bought some live bait. Fishing with dried squid and trolling for saltwater catfish doesn’t cut it with me. Yes, I did leave him a nice tip. Hal Land

    Hal L. with Sloan S. of Freeport, Florida

    We went out on Reel Fun today and had a blast. Our 3 boys caught fish the entire 2 hour trip and came wait to come back!

    Captain Harry was great. He taught us the way to fish a new area. Explaining to us why the area was hard to fish and tricks to fish new areas. Great experience and will be using Captain Harry again.

    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.

    Jose P. with John C. of Panama City, Florida

    Marvin was the perfect captain for our 6- and 9-year-old girls. Very patient and attuned to the kids. Looking forward to our next fishing trip with him!

    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.

    Jameson T. with Jason S. of Panama City, Florida

    We had an amazing time and caught lots of fish in less than 2 hours. It was perfect for my 7 year old!
