Welcome April! We are looking forward to your warm days which bring plenty of opportunities to fish and cruise!
Our head-boats are coming in with great catches of vermilion snapper, mangrove snapper, porgys, almaco jacks, and more! Start watching for Cobia. It is about time for them to make their annual migration from the South. Red Snapper season opens June 1. Boats are filling up–call soon! They always book up early.
The charter boats and guide boats are bringing in Spanish Mackerel for their spring run through the area. They are fun to catch and plenty tasty! Be sure to make reservations soon for your chance to catch one of these seasonal fish. Bake it, grill it or take it to one of the local restaurants for a ‘Hook ’n Cook – you catch and they cook.
Capt. Max’s Bar & Grille offers Hook ‘n Cook. Capt. Max’s (at the marina/dockside) will be serving fresh sandwiches, snacks and ice cream. Enjoy watching the boats come in all over Grand Lagoon at the Upper Deck Bar. Come join the fun with your hosts (bartenders) Canaan & Braden!
On April 20, the Upper Deck Bar will host its first annual Adult Easter Egg Hunt that starts at 1 p.m. With prizes, cash, and mystery in every egg you find, it’s sure to be great fun! Find the Golden Egg for a huge prize! Live music and specials are featured for this fun afternoon.
Sea Patriot Jet Boat Cruises Again! Check out this exhilarating cruise in the Bay and Lagoon for a real thrill ride!
The dolphins and seagulls are certainly happy to see the Shell Island boats this time of year. I think they enjoy watching us as much as we enjoy watching them. And the seagulls love the Cheetos!
‘Fisherman’s Walk’ with its souvenir shop, That Ship’s Store, and Sugar Shack ice cream shop offers shaded seating with tables so you can snack and watch the boats unload their catches. It provides a safe kids’ play area.
The Event Center is bustling with weddings, seminars, business meetings, retirement parties and the like. What a beautiful waterfront view of Grand Lagoon! Make plans now for your special event.
More and more folks are coming to enjoy all that beautiful Grand Lagoon has to offer here on Panama City Beach. We welcome you all! You won’t find an area of the beaches that has more local family-owned businesses all nestled in one place as you will here in the Grand Lagoon area and all along Navy (Thomas) Drive.
Come see us! The family experiences on the water are great memories in the making!
