Queen Kate Charters in Panama City Beach

Queen Kate Charters offers Panama City Beach outings aboard Salty Saylor with Captain Michael Bruce. Fishing options include deep-sea, inshore and shark trips, with dolphin and island excursions available separately.

Contact and booking details

Captain Michael Bruce and Salty Saylor

The operator specifically identifies its captain as Michael Bruce, distinguishing him from similarly named local captains. The boat is advertised as a federally permitted 30-foot center console with twin Yamaha 300 engines.

The service describes trolling and bottom-fishing capability. Ask for passenger capacity and comfort features before assembling your group. Federal permit wording is an operator statement, while the particular fish you may keep still depends on current rules.

Inshore, offshore and sharks

Inshore descriptions include redfish, seatrout and flounder. Offshore possibilities include snapper, grouper, king and Spanish mackerel, mahi, wahoo and blackfin tuna. Discuss which targets and methods fit the dates you are considering.

Shark outings emphasize release practices for most shark species. Ask about the fishing approach and duration, especially with young children. Wildlife and island tours are separate activities rather than automatic stops on every fishing charter.

Equipment and a current quote

Queen Kate advertises fishing rods, reels, tackle and bait. Current rates and clock hours should be obtained through its booking options or direct contact. Confirm license coverage, refreshments, cleaning services and any crew gratuity in that quote.

Describe first-time anglers and any need for shade, seating or bathroom access. The captain can help decide whether an inshore day or a longer Gulf outing fits the group. Pack only what the crew recommends for available storage space.

Departure at Captain Anderson's

The published location is slip 10-W at Captain Anderson's Marina, 5550 North Lagoon Drive. Call or email Mike for the date and arrival time. Confirm parking and the exact boarding point before travel.

Get deposit, cancellation and weather terms with the reservation. State clearly whether you want fishing, a dolphin outing or an island excursion. This helps ensure the boat is prepared for the activity you intend to book.
