We combine local knowledge with modern tech to help every angler maximize their time on the water.

Trophy Fish Caught

The recent action has been nothing short of legendary, with several trophy fish making it over the gunwales of the Odyssea. Our guests have recently landed "Bull" Redfish exceeding 30 pounds at the St. Andrews jetties and impressive Gag Grouper on our offshore reefs. We are also seeing a surprising number of large Black Sea Bass and hard-fighting Amberjack in the 80-foot depth range. These record-worthy catches are a testament to Captain Jim’s decades of experience and his ability to navigate to the high-activity "honey holes" that only a local veteran knows.

Family-Friendly Fishing Adventures

We specialize in family-friendly fishing that prioritizes safety, comfort, and, most importantly, fun. Our 25' Key West is fully equipped with high-quality life vests for all ages and stable deck space, making it perfect for kids and beginners. We understand that a successful family outing is about more than just the size of the fish; it’s about the easy-going adventure and the joy of a child’s first catch. From targeting high-action Spanish Mackerel to spotting dolphins during our nearshore runs, we provide a patient, hands-on environment where every member of the family feels like a pro.

Fishing Year-Round in Panama City Beach

One of the greatest perks of the Emerald Coast is the ability to enjoy fishing year-round. While summer is the peak for Red Snapper and Mahi Mahi, the winter months offer incredible opportunities for Sheepshead, Black Drum, and "Gator" Trout in the deeper bayous. As spring arrives, we transition to chasing migratory Cobia and King Mackerel, while the fall brings an aggressive frenzy of Flounder and Redfish. No matter when you visit, PCB Water Adventures provides a reliable and rewarding experience tailored to the unique seasonal cycles of our local waters.
