Great time out on the water with Captain Tanner. Caught a ton of fish from reds, trout, flounder, catfish, rock bass, and dogfish as well as shark, stingray and my son even had a tarpon on for about 5 seconds (we weren’t tarpon fishing). Very knowledgeable guide, friendly conversationalist, and patient with an impatient child on board. I’d recommend to anyone around the area to join in on this adventure. I’ll be back again next time I’m in the area

We had an awesome time! This was our first charter experience and we had a blast. Captain Tanner customized the trip to what we were looking for which was really letting our kids get to experience reeling in some nice fish! Within the first 30 seconds of casting my husband had on a nice red. We caught a variety of fish including a shark our 5 yr old son got to reel in, sea trout, whiting, catfish and a 6-7’ shark that gave us quite a thrill chasing! Overall amazing experience!! Highly recommend!

Captain Tanner was great. weather was bad with strong wiinds. With his knowledge of the bay, he was able to het us on Redfish throughout the morning when others got skunked. Made what could have been a really bad day into a great one .

We all landed sharks today! The captain stayed busy keeping us on the fish and making the necessary tackle adjustments. Right before wrapping up, we hooked an impressive 8’ bull shark. Watching it being reeled in was incredible — the captain even had to maneuver the boat toward it to keep from running out of line. He shared plenty of interesting information and was easy to talk to. We’ll definitely book with him again next time we’re here!

Best Surfcasting Lessons Ever! Hi Ron! Thanks for a great day of casting! Can't believe you held a 10 year old attention for so long we really appreciate how well you work with kids and the time you took to let the little guy learn not only how to cast and work different lures, but the fly casting bonus as well! He learned so much. Thank you so much for the memories that will last a lifetime. The McLanes.

Captain Tanner advised postponing our trip by one night to avoid high winds, and his recommendation was spot on. The following night brought perfect weather, allowing us to catch a substantial amount of flounder and one sheepshead. The service was knowledgeable and professional, set in a stunning location. I highly recommend Panacea Outfitters, and the boys are already looking forward to our next adventure!
