Pier 98 Fishing Charters

Over the last few years, we have been learning what works best for our guests and we realized something important. Guests don’t just want a boat ride, they want real help choosing the right trip and the right kind of fishing. We’re here to answer your questions and help you make the best decision for your adventure on the water, regardless of your experience level.

Our marina holds 42 boat slips, most of which are home to charter fishing boats. The captains you'll meet here are all true professionals with decades of experience navigating the Gulf. They know the waters and the best spots to reel in something worth bragging about.

We offer a variety of trips, so there's something for everyone. Some are fast-paced, others are a bit more laid-back, and all of them come with unforgettable views. Choose from bottom fishing, trolling, shark fishing, bay fishing, nearshore, or offshore fishing. You can find all of our different fishing charters near panama city fl​.

Your charter includes a fishing license, bait, and tackle, unless you’d rather bring your own. Just don’t forget the essentials: hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, snacks and drinks for longer trips, plus Dramamine if you get seasick.

One of the things that sets Pier 98 apart is how easy we make your day on the water. From breakfast to bait, everything you need is right here at the marina. Just steps apart, you’ll find the bait & tackle shop, convenience store & deli, Rodeo’s Steak Pit & Seafood, tiki bar, fish cleaning services, and Airbnb or pontoon rentals.

We believe the best fishing trips are the ones where expectations match reality. When guests know what to expect, they enjoy themselves more. That’s why we take the time to help each person or group find the trip that’s right for them. Happy guests make for happy captains, and that’s a win for everyone.
