Charter Description

Experience the thrill of deep-sea fishing in Panama City Beach with Reel Groovy Experiences! Our private charters are designed to give you and your group an unforgettable adventure on the Gulf of Mexico. With a capacity of up to 18 passengers, our 43-foot BHM offshore sport fishing boat is perfect for both small and large groups. Enjoy the comfort of our fully equipped vessel with air conditioning and a bathroom as you embark on a fishing trip like no other! This full-day trip combines trolling on the way to and from one of our favorite fishing spots, with much more time available for bottom fishing! This trip gives us extra time to reach prime fishing spots, including some of the more distant areas that we don’t normally have time to explore & that aren't overfished. This trip offers a chance to catch bigger & better fish! Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced angler, you’ll have a chance to catch a variety of exciting species in the Gulf!


Species of fish we may encounter include Bonita, King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Wahoo, Amberjack, Cobia, Bonita, Red Snapper, Vermillion Snapper, Triggerfish, Red & Gag Grouper, Sharks, Tuna and more! 


A First Mate will be available for your trip to assist you with baiting hooks, taking fish off the line, and anything else you may need.

All the necessary items for fishing, including a fishing license, ice, bait, and tackle will be provided.


Although we cannot guarantee your catch, the longer the trip, the greater the chance of a great catch! We can, however, guarantee that we will work very hard to ensure you have a memorable experience on your charter with us!

Customer Reviews

Brandi Doty ★★★★★

"The only fishing charter we will use when visiting PCB! Captain Gary and deckhand Josh made sure we stayed catching fish, they were the best!"

Bryan Riley ★★★★★

"I would highly recommend Captain Gary with Reel GrooV fishing charter. Our group of 8 had the best time—caught 40+ keepers, plenty to take home for a little fish fry. Thanks again Gary for your hospitality aboard your boat today."

EXTANTBEAST 23 ★★★★★

"We had a blast. Gary and crew are amazing. They worked very hard at keeping lines in the water and were super friendly. The boat was clean and they really included our kids in the experience. I will definitely book again."
