Panama City, Florida, stands as an angler's paradise, boasting rich and varied marine ecosystems in the Gulf of Mexico. Its bountiful waters and seasoned captains make it an ideal destination for fishing adventures of all kinds. The picturesque landscapes and ample opportunities ensure a rewarding experience. Panama City’s waters are a haven for various prized catches, including Amberjack, Black Drum, Bonito, Cero Mackerel, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Flounder, and various types of Grouper.

Operating a 23’ Pro-Line vessel capable of accommodating up to 5 passengers, Captain Eric ensures the provision of all necessary equipment. From rods and reels to lures and even live bait, you’re equipped for a successful fishing expedition. For those interested in catching their own bait, a simple inquiry beforehand can provide this opportunity.


Each trip is supported by a dedicated First Mate who contributes significantly to making your adventure memorable. Gratuities typically range from 10% to 20% to acknowledge their hard work. Your fishing license for the day is included with the charter, eliminating that task from your pre-trip checklist. However, some species have specific regulations for harvesting, and Captain Eric can provide insight into these guidelines upon request.


Nautical Adventures warmly welcomes families, ensuring an inclusive experience. Children are encouraged to join, provided they wear life vests—check in advance for available sizes. As for essential items, sunblock (non-spray) and sunglasses are highly recommended. While the boat provides some drinks and snacks, informing the captain if you plan to bring your own is courteous. Moderate consumption of alcohol is permitted, though hard liquor and glass bottles should be avoided.

December Fishing In Panama City

Redfish are Biting!

It was better here in Bay County earlier in the week. The storm slowed it down and it should improve based on reports to our West. Migrating pompano seem to be small schools and some singles. There are some really good sized ones and some shorts. Redfish are around as well, both slot and overslot. Really scout the structure, (cuts, pockets, etc), to have your best chance. Some whiting are showing as well. Add an unusual number of permit were caught as well!

We had an awesome time and would totally do it again!

June 5, 2025

I had the most incredible fishing trip with Captain Eric from Nautical Adventures—seriously, can't stop talking about it! Right from the start, smooth communication set the tone, and Captain Eric had everything sorted before we even stepped on the boat. What really made it outstanding was Captain Eric's attention to detail and his genuine commitment to making our day special. This outing with my son easily tops our list of fishing experiences. Don't let the lack of reviews fool you; Nautical Adventures was the highlight of our entire trip. I'm stoked to spread the word about how much fun we had! Captain Eric had the boat packed with everything, and his enthusiasm kept the excitement going. He had lunch, drinks, fishing gear, life jackets—literally everything covered! We ended up catching over 30 fish, adding an extra thrill to an already awesome day on the water. And to top it off, Captain Eric went the extra mile by cleaning our catch and sending us home with our fish! It's these personal touches that make Nautical Adventures stand out. Thanks again. We won't even consider booking with anyone else.

Every day with Captain Eric is a winner! Can't imagine anything better. Captain Eric's skills are just mind-blowing!

June 5, 2025

Eric's the way to go! Such an awesome time for my family.

June 5, 2025

Eric was an awesome Captain, and we had a blast! Definitely coming back for more!

June 5, 2025

My 27-year-old son and I had an incredible experience on this trip. Captain Eric was amiable, approachable, and highly dependable. When a storm was forecasted, Eric effortlessly rescheduled our fishing day to a different morning. During our excursion, while other guides were unsuccessful in one area, his insight led us in the opposite direction, resulting in a catch of numerous fish that left us tired but thrilled. Having caught seven different species, this trip was truly remarkable. We're definitely planning to return, and I'll also recommend him to our renters.
