Kelley Girl fishing charters in Panama City announce New Captain

Panama City, United States – March 31, 2020 / Kelley Girl Charters /

Mark Kelley of the Kelley family & Kelley Girl Charters in Panama City, FL is proud to announce that his son, Carson Kelley, has just become a Maritime Captain. Carson, who is only 19 years of age is now the fourth generation Captain in the Kelley family. The Kelley family has been residents of Bay County since 1943. They have a combined experience of more than 100 years in the fishing industry. Mark’s grandfather, Arnold Peel, began his commercial fishing in 1943. His father, Buddy Kelley, started his love for charter and commercial fishing in 1963. He continued fishing until he retired in 1995.

Commenting on Carson’s achievement, out of excitement, Mark the father of the latest Captain in the family said, “Its official Capt. Carson Kelley. I am so proud of my son. This makes three generations of Captains in the Kelley family.”

Carson has been a deckhand since he was 15. He is now the fourth generation fisherman in the Kelley family. The budding young man is fond of nature and an outdoorsy, little wonder he decided to toe the line of his forefathers. He is currently in college majoring in exercise science, which will enable him to also contribute to human fitness, holistic wellness, and longevity. Coming from a family of renowned fishermen, Carson has had the opportunity to learn from multiple experienced captains. This has not only made him start off on the right foot as a captain but also ensure he remains steadfast for years to come.

Kelley Girl Panama City Beach Fishing Charters is a family business run and operated by Mark Kelley, Carson’s father. Mark worked for his dad as the captain of the Kelley Girl, a 52 feet fishing boat, which he later bought from him and began his career as a Captain. He has successfully turned his passion into business for 35 years while providing customers with the best experience in Panama City Beach fishing.

Mark has also enlarged his fleet with the purchase of another charter boat, the Lady Kelley, a 55 feet fishing boat. This purchase provided more opportunities for returning customers to fish on their preferred booking dates. Throughout the years, Mark has used the Kelley Girl and Lady Kelley to build private artificial reefs. These fishing spots are not shared with other private boats and recreational fishermen. Therefore, Mark can take customers to his “sweet spots” and experience fishing that others cannot.

The Kelley family’s legacy and tradition of fishing have led to a successful business. This success came from knowledge and wisdom that Mark has gained from his ancestors and experiences growing up around many of the best fishermen in the area. Mark currently has more than 35 years of fishing in the waters of the panhandle. His love for this sport comes across through his jovial spirit, wit, laughter, and dedication to the customers he serves.

Mark is glad that his son, Carson, has also decided to continue in the family tradition of fishing. It is hoped that he will also pass the wisdom and knowledge to the next generation to keep the family legacy going.

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

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.
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!
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!!
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.
Always a good trip
Great crew and boats. Will remain a repeat customer.
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.
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.

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