10-Hour Private Deep Sea Fishing Charter- Panama City Beach

 "Phenomenal fishing trip—crew was amazing and the boat was extremely comfortable!" – Samuel G.

What to Expect on Your 10-Hour Deep Sea Fishing Trip

Get ready for a full day of serious fishing and smooth sailing aboard Reel Groovy. Our 10-hour private charter lets you go farther offshore to reach less-pressured fishing grounds, giving you the best shot at catching prized species like amberjack, snapper, grouper, mahi-mahi, king mackerel, and more—depending on season and conditions.



With plenty of time to combine bottom fishing and trolling, this trip is perfect for anglers who want a more strategic, rewarding experience without feeling rushed. Whether you're an experienced fisherman or just want more action and freedom than shorter trips allow, the 10-hour adventure offers the ideal mix of flexibility, comfort, and high catch potential.
