Was our first private charter. Eric was very personable and professional. It was just me and my daughter. He wanted to make sure we had a great experience. Even gave us extra time to catch more fish. Also it may not matter to everyone but I didn’t hear him once say a cuss word. I can appreciate that as a part time evangelist. I also didn’t tell him that so that’s not why he didn’t cuss. I’ll definitely be hitting him up in the spring to go fishing again.

Cpt. Eric saved our bacon on this vacation. Had a five hour fishing trip booked with another charter (who shall remain nameless) here in the thick of snapper season. The water had been super choppy, so I got notified 4 hours before that trip was supposed to go out that other captain canceled, which left us scrambling. Lucky we found Semper Fi. Captain Eric was much more communicative, gave us options, was honest about what he could do given the conditions, aggressive yet kept us safe. Once we got out there, we were on the fish immediately. When deckhand Zach (who’s awesome) told us our baits should either catch a fish ten seconds after hitting bottom or we’ve lost it, I knew we were with the right guys. Both Cpt. Eric and Zach are hard workers, humble, skilled, and fun to be around. We caught 52 lbs. of fish and should have caught more that we lost. These guys are the truth, have a big, solid boat, good equipment. I can’t imagine a better time. We’ll for sure book with them again when in the area next time without hesitation, and you should too.

I have been out on many charters. But on Capt. Eric’s charter far surpasses any other. My family’s third year in panama city, and it is always the highlight of our vacation, every year.
