If you've been dreaming of battling sailfish, mahi mahi, and wahoo, this is your chance to make it happen. We've got room for 10 anglers, so grab your buddies and let's go chase some monsters!

Trip Overview

Picture this: You're on a sweet charter boat, cruising out past the breakers as the Panama City skyline fades behind you. The air's salty, the sun's warming up, and you know you're in for a day of world-class fishing. We're talking about our most popular rainy season trip, where we use top-notch trolling techniques to target some seriously impressive fish. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time going after the big ones, our crew's got you covered. We'll set you up with everything from flashy lures to teasers, and when conditions are right, we'll even break out the live bait to really get those fish fired up.

What to Expect on the Water

Once we hit that sweet spot 30 miles out, it's game on. We'll be working the 20-fathom trench, a legendary drop-off where pelagic predators love to hunt. Our crew's always scanning for signs of life – bird activity, bait balls, or that telltale flash of a sailfish's dorsal fin cutting through the water. We'll set up a spread of lines, and then it's all about the wait... and the sudden burst of action when a fish strikes! You might be reeling in a acrobatic sailfish one minute, then battling a hard-charging mahi mahi the next. And let's not forget about the wahoo – these speedsters will test your drag and your arms! Between fights, you'll have plenty of time to soak in the vastness of the open ocean, maybe spot some dolphins, and swap fish stories with your fellow anglers.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing the waters off Panama City that keeps folks coming back year after year. Maybe it's the thrill of never knowing what'll hit your line next. Or the way a sailfish lights up, all electric blue and purple, as it dances across the water. Could be the taste of super-fresh mahi mahi grilled up back at the dock. Whatever it is, this trip has a way of getting under your skin. Our regulars tell us it's the perfect mix of relaxation and adrenaline-pumping action. Plus, with our experienced crew, even newbies often end up with the catch of a lifetime. We're all about making sure everyone on board has a blast, learns something new, and goes home with some epic fish tales to tell.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Mahi Mahi (Dorado): These colorful acrobats are a favorite for good reason. Mahi mahi are known for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked, often leaping clear out of the water multiple times. They're fast growers and can reach up to 30 pounds in their first year. We typically find them near floating debris or weed lines, hunting for smaller fish. The best part? They're not just fun to catch – they're delicious too. Many anglers consider mahi mahi the best-tasting fish in the sea.

Indo-Pacific Sailfish: If you're after a true sportfishing challenge, sailfish are hard to beat. These majestic creatures are among the fastest fish in the ocean, capable of speeds up to 68 mph. They're named for their massive dorsal fin, which looks like a sail when they're excited or feeding. Sailfish average 6-8 feet in length and put up an incredible fight, often spending more time in the air than in the water once hooked. Landing one of these beauties is a bucket-list achievement for many anglers.

Wahoo: Hold onto your hats when a wahoo hits! These streamlined speedsters are built for velocity, with some of the fastest recorded speeds of any ocean fish. They're known for blistering runs that can smoke a reel if you're not careful. Wahoo tend to be loners or travel in small groups, so hooking one is always a special event. They've got a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth, so we handle these guys with extra care. The meat is prized for its mild flavor and firm texture – perfect for grilling or sashimi.
