We’re excited to announce the kickoff of the 2026 deep sea fishing season and the return of our unforgettable Shell Island dolphin tours!

From March 1 through November 1, we’ll be running full speed ahead—offering incredible offshore fishing adventures and scenic cruises along the emerald waters of the Gulf. Whether you’re an experienced angler chasing your next big catch or a family looking to spot dolphins playing in the wake, this is the perfect time to get out on the water.

2026 Deep Sea Fishing Season

Our experienced captains and crew are ready to take you offshore for an action-packed day of fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. Depending on the time of year, anglers can target a variety of species including red snapper, grouper, amberjack, king mackerel, and more (seasonal regulations apply).

To see what’s currently in season and stay up to date on federal fishing regulations, we recommend visiting Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council at gulfcouncil.org before your trip.

Cruise through the stunning waters surrounding Shell Island, watch wild dolphins in their natural habitat, and soak in the breathtaking coastal scenery. It’s the perfect outing for families, couples, and visitors of all ages.

Whether you're casting a line offshore or cruising alongside dolphins, there’s no better way to experience Panama City Beach than from the water. We can’t wait to welcome you aboard for another amazing season!
