Lisa Robinson

We went out on Oct.6. The seas were rough and Captain Carson gave us our options and explained everything. They were very accommodating and fish were still caught. Griffin and Captain were full of knowledge and endurance. We will be booking again in Summer! I would highly reccomend this company.

Frank Provost

The seas were a little rough on October 2 , 2026 we still went anyway for a 14 hr charter. We limited out on red snapper ,caught 5 Amber Jacks ,2 keeper Triggers, and a big mess of B liners and 3 groupers. The Capt put us on the fish right away and kept us on them.I could not of a better first mate/deckhand he worked his bit off best we had since going on charters. The Capt and deck hand were very knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend the Kelley Girl to anyone who wants to catch fish and will definitely use them again

Andrew Stallings

Cody working our boat was phenomenal! Surprised to see that there weren’t any drinks (not even bottled water) provided on the boat for our half day charter. Would also recommend adding in some music on the boat or bringing along a Bluetooth speaker for some background noise while fishing.

Bob Odle

Fantastic trip today on the Kelley Girl. Capt Carson and Zander put us on plenty of fish! Snapper, grouper, and Vermillion.

Heber Gubler

3 of my buddies and I recently went on a 10hr offshore trip on the Kelly Girl. This was hands down the very best experience with a charter I have ever had! I've fished out of Mexico, Dominican Republic, Georgia, and this was the 3rd out of Florida. The deck hand was on his game, everything from rods, tackle, bait, and great with the gaff. Captain Carson was incredible behind the wheel, reading the currents, navigating some fairly rough seas on our way out, and put us on fish consistently. If I am ever back near Panama City Beach, I would use them again in a heart beat. I highly recomend!

stephen stanfill

i took my family 0n a 8 hour fishing trip for the third year in a roll call capt. mark at the last min, he set it up for us we had a great time got lots of fish thanks to him and first mate will go again next years the only boat to used thanks capt mark see you soon , steve

Dustin Judy

We had an awesome time. The crew put us on the fish asap and we caught out limit in the first few hours. Both the captain and deck hand were more than helpful and friendly. I would def recommend them.

Response from the owner:Glad you had a good time.

Bradley Davis

Great trip! The captain and first mate were very courteous and helped the family catch a bunch of fish. Awesome time, lots of fish, with a great crew.

Response from the owner:Bradley, Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts. We are very happy to hear you had a great trip. We had a great time with you as well. Thanks for choosing Kelley Girl Charters and we hope to see you again.

Rex Burch

Always a great experience. We have been fishing annually with Lady Kelly and Kelly Girl for over ten years now and always a fun and professional fishing experience. These guys are great!

Kayla White

Excellent private charter! We’ve used Kelley Girl Charters several times and have received the best guidance from all staff. We recently brought our 4 kids for an 8 hr. charter and our kids have not stopped talking about their experience. Hands down the best you’ll find.

Response from the owner:Thanks Kayla for the wonderful review. It was great fishing with you and your family again and appreciate you choosing Kelley Girl Charters. We hope to see you again next summer!!

William Fulton

First time deep sea fishing and brought my 10 and 8 year old son. We had a total of 11 fishers in our group for the 6 hour tour. Had the time of our lives! Captain was awesome, and deck hand was AMAZING. Wouldn't go out on a different charter.

Response from the owner:Thanks William for taking the time to share your experience. We had a great time with you and your sons as well. Thanks for choosing Kelley Girl Charters and we look forward to seeing you all again.

heath gregg

Always a good trip

Chris Curtis

Great crew and boats. Will remain a repeat customer.

Willie Ray

We had a good time fishing with Kelly Girl Charters, we had 3 adults and 3 kids and we all caught fish and the boat was very nice. I would definitely book with them again.

Brian Stiff

Caught our limit of snapper for 5 people. Hooked some other non target fish that we couldn't keep. Had several eaten off the line. Noticing the light bites took time to get down. Captain and crew worked to keep us on fish and poles in good order. Boat was nice and comfortable. Indoor area was nice for when not fishing. Half of the trip was spent riding in-out in addition to time spent moving to different spots when bite was off.

Lafie Bowerman

Had a great family trip and we look forward to booking again in the future.

Heidi Wynn

Captain and deck hand were amazing great day of fishing even tho it rained. We had such a great time. Took us to all the best spots. Would book again and recommend to anyone

Leigh Daly

Captain Mark and his son Carson were so great. My wife, 4 kids ages, 12, 12, 10, and 7, and my mom all joined captain mark for a half day if fishing and we caught our limit of Red Snapper. The boat is large with ver comfortable seating. Marks son, Carson, was the deck hand and he did a fabulous job of educating and helping my kids the wntire morning! We were able to get our full catch cleaned so we could take all the meat with us.i would highly recommended Captain Mark and his son Carson!! Thanks guys for an amazing experience! Phillip

Our first trip out with Kelley Girl Charters was a huge success! We sailed on the Lady Kelley and had an absolute blast. Garrett took great care of us, ensuring we had everything we needed to reel in some amazing catches. Thanks also to Captain Mark for a fantastic experience. We're already looking forward to our next adventure – a 10- to 12-hour trip – and can't wait to get back out on the water!

Marcus Boone

I’ve used Kelley Girl Charters for the past 4-5 years and each time has been great! This was my first trip on the Lady Kelley and we’re already booked for our next trip in September!

Marty Taylor

Had a great time on a 6 hour charter with my brother. The crew was great!

Pat Chisolm

We had an incredible trip with captain Mark & Griffin had our limit of big red snapper by 9:00 AM. Then loaded the boat with mahi mahi , red grouper and bb reds . Caught some really good grouper that were not in season along with many trigger fish . Don’t hesitate to book a trip with these guys they will put you on the fish 🐠 🎣🛥️

Response from the owner:Thanks Pat for the kind review...very much appreciated. We had a great time with you all as well. What a great day. See you next time!

Robert Purvis

Mark took my family out on Memorial Day '25. IT WAS AWESOME. We had a blast and caught tons of fish. They were great the whole time. The A/C really helped on a hot day.

Response from the owner:Thanks so much for the great review! We had a blast with you all as well. That was a great day. And yes, it is nice having the A/C at times...It can get hot. Enjoy the rest of your summer and hope to see you again on your next visit to PCB Florida.

G Erg

I booked this trip for my buddy bachelor party as he loves deep sea fishing. We had a great time with Carson and his team. Booking was simple and confirmation was sent via text. Carson and Griffin were awesome and friendly as we were somewhat new to fishing, Griffin was patient showed us all the tricks and was also able to catch bull shark making the trip extra extraordinary,5 stars and highly recommend Kelly charters, thanks again for your guidance and help us to catch 80 plus fish.

Response from the owner:Thanks "G Erg" for trusting us and making us part of your bachelor party. I am glad you had a great time. We had a great time with you all as well. And thanks for the kind review. That is very much appreciated. We hope to see you all again next time you want to get out and catch some fish.
