    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.

    Alan was the best fishing guide that I have experienced. We caught our limit of red snapper in 30 minutes. We also caught our limit of another type of snapper in less than an hour. He knew exactly where to stop. Fish were biting as fast as you threw out your line. Greatest experience I have had fishing with a guide. Will be booking with him again in the fall.

    Patricia B. with Alan C. of Panama City Beach, 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.

    Captain Jimmy was awesome! The weather was not co-operating with us, but the Captain did everything that he could to get us on fish. we did catch a few - they just we not big enough to keep (spotted trout were 13" - 14") I think the Captain was more upset about us not catching fish than we were. Thank you Captain Jimmy!

    Terry V. with Jimmy E. of Panama City Beach, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Awesome trip. Capt. Nathan knew exactly where to put us and deck hand Luke kept us rigged and fishing. We caught lots of fish and several different species. Was a real workout pulling in fish after fish. Guys where really knowledgeable of the area. Definitely plan to book with them again.

    Captain Jimmy is a gentleman and a scholar! I had one of the best days on the water. This was my first time salt water fishing and he got me hooked 🪝!!

    Charlie P. with Jimmy E. of Panama City Beach, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Nate from the beginning asked a lot of questions about us and what our hopes were. He was extremely informative about what the conditions were, fish in season, and other tid-bits regarding our trip. Heading out we encountered extremely heavy fog so it was a bit slow getting out where we needed to be. Once we got out where we needed to be it was absolutely beautiful and Captain Nate put us on a couple catches. We got Trigger, Red Snapper, a B-Liner, and some tropical looking fish.. Unfortunately we were only able to keep the B-Liner but our family thoroughly enjoyed the trip! Once we started making our way in we realized that there was a red Tide which hindered some of our fishing. I will definitely book Captain Nate again on our next trip.

    Ken H. with Nathan S. of Panama City Beach, Florida

    Jimmy thank you for being a great guide and person. You helped make the trip memorable we appreciate it very much.
