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 high-speed 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. A First Mate will be available to assist you during your trip. Don't forget your sunglasses, sunscreen, hat, camera, drinks, snacks, and a tip for the crew.

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! 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

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is the home of over 1500 Damn Good fishing and hunting guides. Our mission is to unlock the outdoors for everyone, and we want to help you get out there through our no-hassle online booking experience and our team of outdoors experts.

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a 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 case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
