An Unforgettable Trip - Captain Matt was awesome! He was extremely kind and friendly, talkative when appropriate while also letting us enjoy the spectacular views in tranquility, and best of all, he knew the best spots to take us for an unforgettable trip. We started out by heading to an island where he anchored and let us get off the boat and swim and search for starfish, of which we found several (mostly due to Captain Matt finding them for us). Afterward we took a leisurely stroll around the bay taking in the amazing scenery and sunset views. Finally he found some dolphins for us just in the nick of time, as they were unusually quiet on this evening. However we ended up seeing what I would estimate to be about 4-6 dolphins swimming in the water which was incredible. We were able to get as close as about 25-30 feet which was the closest our family has gotten yet. Overall this was truly a wonderful experience and one we won’t be forgetting anytime soon. Book your boat trip with Captain Matt and you won’t regret it. We certainly don’t!

Two old people! - Amazing trip! Dolphins jumping perfect sunset, and Matt, the Captain, was very knowledgeable about the area. Received everything expected…plus. We were a group of 2 so we enjoyed a private romantic sunset. Matt offered us water and the sound system for our music. We chose not to listen to music, but let the captain explain about himself and the waters we were in. We highly recommend Panama City pontoon Charters for an amazing sunset tour.

Perfect night, wonderful experience! - Purchased this as a gift for my mom and her husband during their visit. Matthew was very communicative and professional when he contacted me to move the start time in order to make sunset in time and also when my mom was going to be a little late. They thoroughly enjoyed their private cruise led by Matthew and only had great things to say. Thank you!
