Your operator
Gulf Coast Excursions operates a classic 1977 Pacemaker Sportfish out of Panama City, offering unforgettable boat tours and up-close dolphin watching adventures. I became a licensed Captain in 2018, initially working on Naval Contracts before shifting to fishing charters and dolphin encounters in 2021. With a passion for the water and years of experience, I'm proud to show guests the beauty of the Gulf Coast.
