Our land-based guide service focuses on creating lasting memories—feet in the sand, fish on the line, and photos you'll want to share. While we can’t guarantee a perfect bite every time (weather and fish moods happen), we do assure you’ll leave with real surf fishing skills that you can use again and again.
Our fishing guides scout ahead, check conditions, and if necessary, we’ll do our best to reschedule for better opportunities. Whether you're chasing your first catch or embracing a new lifestyle, we’re here to help you fish smarter—and enjoy every moment of it.
FIRST, WE NEED TO GET YOU A FISHING LICENSE
We now sell fishing licenses in the shop. A 3-day fishing license is $20. Please create an account at Go Outdoors Florida before your trip to expedite the process on the day of fishing. If you've had a Florida fishing license before, you likely already have an account.

Up to 3.5 hours - $430.00 USD (up to 4 anglers).
Included in your experience are a rod/reel combo, bait, ice, tackle, and a fishing lesson from our experienced fishing guides. You'll have the chance to target species such as pompano, whiting, Spanish mackerel, red drum, black drum, bluefish, and the occasional shark! Please note that a Florida fishing license and a $100 deposit are required. A gratuity of 15 to 20% is customary but not mandatory.

Up to 3.5 hours - $650.00 USD (up to 8 anglers).
Have a large party? No problem. Groups larger than four anglers need more attention and more room to fish. This package is designed to make sure everyone gets a great experience. For groups of up to eight anglers, two certified Panhandle Salt guides will accompany your party. Your group will fish the same beach area, but anglers will be split between both guides. This keeps the trip smoother, safer, and more productive for everyone. This is a great option for larger families, bachelor parties, corporate groups, vacation groups, or any group with more than four anglers.

Up to 3.5 hours - $975.00 USD (up to 12 anglers).
This package is designed for groups of up to 12 anglers and includes three certified Panhandle Salt guides. Your group will fish the same beach area, but anglers will be divided between guides to keep the trip organized, smooth, and productive. During this 3.5 hour surf fishing charter, our guides handle the setup, manage the rods, assist with casting, bait placement, bite detection, fish handling, and help keep the trip moving for the entire group.
Whether your party includes beginners, experienced anglers, kids, adults, or a mix of skill levels, our goal is to make sure everyone has a fun and memorable day on the beach. This is a great option for family reunions, corporate outings, bachelor parties, vacation groups, team events, and other large gatherings.
