About Your Trip

Our 6-hour trips are the most popular! It will take about 2 hours to get out to one of our favorite fishing spots so we will be trolling on the way in & out. Once we reach it, we will have about 2 hours of bottom fishing time.

The boat has a bathroom, air conditioning, a Bluetooth speaker, a table with bench seating, and a cover over the back deck to help shade the sun.

Please arrive at the dock 15 minutes early. Everything necessary for fishing, including a fishing license, ice, bait, and tackle, will be provided. *Note* If you want to fish with live bait, please bring $40-$100 cash. We will stop at the bait barge on the way out to purchase some.

A First Mate will be available to assist you during your trip.

During our trip, we may encounter various species of fish including King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Wahoo, Amberjack, Red Snapper, Vermillion Snapper, Triggerfish, Red & Black Grouper, Cobia, Tuna, and Shark. The marina offers fish cleaning services for a small fee, so we will gladly help you get your fish to them once we arrive back at the dock.

If you have any questions we haven't answered, please don't hesitate to contact us directly! Ask about our specials!!

We look forward to having you aboard!

I moved to Panama City several years ago and started off as a deckhand. I soon realized how much I enjoyed showing friends and families a great time on the water while they are here for vacation. I decided after a few years that I would purchase and run my own tour boat business. We now offer several different private group tours for sightseeing and deep-sea fishing. I look forward to having you aboard! ~GR

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, bait, 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.
