Customer Reviews

Take a look at what some of our awesome customers have to say about Captain Ryan and their fishing trip with 30A Shallow Water Guide Service.

“We did a 6 hour trip and went 24 miles out. These guys have a quick boat and can get you out far fast. We caught a 5 man limit of red snapper along with a full 5 man limit of 50 vermillions with 2 bonus black snappers, 3 Bonita, and a black Jack. They put us on the fish and were very good guys.”

“Captain Ryan and First Mate Luke were knowledge, accommodating, and extremely personable. They made us feel right at home and allowed our “family” to enjoy ourselves comfortably and do what we do. They were so helpful and patient and made every effort necessary to allow us the opportunity to enjoy the water and to catch our limit!! If you’re looking for the absolute best fishing experience in PCB, go with these guys!!!”

“More than we could ever ask for! Capt. Ryan and Deckhand Luke were fabulous! We caught our limits with the help of their expertise. Several people in our party were first timers, and Capt Ryan and Luke were incredibly helpful and patient. Book them for a great time and greet fishing!”

“We had a phenomenal day on the water. Everyone in our party caught a limit of excellent quality red and vermillion snapper, we had wonderful weather, and Captain Ryan and Deck Hand Luke attended to our every need. With the amount of fish we brought home, the trip paid for itself. A new standard has been set for NW Florida fishing. These guys are the real deal – highly competent and professional in all aspects of the operation from seamanship to finding fish to setting up the proper rigging. If you’re looking for a fishing charter in the Panama City area, book while you can because these guys are no doubt very much in demand. But make sure you get a good night’s sleep before you go, because it’s likely you’ll be cranking in as many fish as you care to process.”

“We could not have been more pleased with our trip with Darkside Charters. Capitan Ryan and Deckhand Luke did an amazing job from start to finish. With a party of six, and a 6 hour trip, we caught our limit of Red Snapper and Vermilion Snapper(and a nice Cobia). These guys are top notch and we couldnt be happier. Fish with confidence.”
