About Your Guide

Jeff R.

Independent Guide

Jeff started 30 years ago as a fly fishing guide, then moved to the Pacific Northwest and worked both Charter Fishing and Commercial Crabbing before settling here in beautiful PCB 7 years ago and now Captains the 29’ Twin Vee Center Console Catamaran. Offering Charter Fishing out of Panama City Beach, Florida my goal is always to give customers lasting memories of a lifetime. Here on the Gulf Coast of Florida we have world class sport fishing and I look forward to sharing that experience with you.

I offer both half and full day trips as well as 6 hour trips that can be customized to fit your needs. Whether you want to troll inshore for Spanish Mackerel and Bonita or offshore for larger King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, Sailfish and the occasional Wahoo, or do some bottom fishing on our wrecks and reefs for multiple species of Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, and much more, or try to tackle some big sharks on a shark trip, my first mate and myself will make sure you have a great experience with lasting memories.

What was your last halloween costume?

How did you get started guiding?

I started as a fly fishing guide in the Rocky Mountains in 1995. Four years later we moved to Depoe Bay Oregon where I worked on the Charter Boats doing deep sea fishing, whale watching, and commercial crabbing. I finally ended up settling here in Panama City Beach in 2018.

What makes you different from other guides?

I think all guides have their own unique ways they learn through their individual experiences. I think my combination of experience with fly fishing, commercial fishing, whale watching and sight seeing tours gives me a different perspective on things. 2 decades of building businesses focused in customer service also gives me insight on putting clients first and making sure your experiences are the most memorable they can be.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
