We had a blast catching our limit of red snapper, a couple of Mahi Mahi, a mackerel and even reeled in a bull shark. I would definitely recommend Heavy Hitter Charters to anyone looking to charter.

Years later I returned to bring my family on a chartered trip and the Cuda was who I booked. This year was our 3rd year straight and we have been pleased every year. The deckhands have taken really great care of my family and Bill has put us on the fish. I see an earlier review said the captain didn't say much but remember he is working and trying to put you on as many fish as possible in a short amount of time. I never saw him ignore or short answer anyone on the boat when he was spoken to. Bottom line if you want the best opportunity to catch your limit and have a safe and fun time doing it, look no further than the Cuda with Mr. Bill C.

had a terrible half day fishing with Captain Bill on board the Cuda in Panama City Beach, Florida…read more. Deckhand Ben was competent and friendly, Captain Bill spoke less than 10 words to me and my family the whole morning. We spent north of 500$ to watch Ben cast and troll three lines for 2.5 hours. No one on board touched a pole while he trolled the waters with 3 lines for the first part of the morning. Then he states, "We're going to try some bottom fishing" 2 of our party of 6 caught 7 fish between us in the next 45 mins. We should have been doing that all along, It would have left my children with much better memories. then after 45 mins, sorry, fishing over, we had to head back to port. 4 of our party had a terrible time and that will be their fishing memory until they decide to drop another 500$ one day in their future. The deckhand's comment? Well, that's why they call it fishing, if they called it catching, everyone could do it.

The booking and check in process was very easy, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We didn't have the best weather but our driver was in great spirits, engaging and brought us to the sunniest side of the location. Throughout our time he also gave us great suggestions in the area and continued to accommodate any of our requests. They had several floating devices for all of us to use which we took full advantage of. We all had a great time and would definitely recommend to book if you are visiting and looking for a fun activity to do!

The crew hardly came around to assist, even though I didn't need it, but my wife could have use it.

It was a beautiful day to be out and about. Check in was easy, we got there about 30 minutes early, which is recommended, so you can sort out where you need to go. They have an outdoor dining area and bar where you can get drinks and snacks, and also you can purchase swimming gear and sunscreen if you forget. All the staff was wonderful, you could tell they were happy to be there, and happy to help the guests out throughout the excursion and when we were docked too. It was a 3 hour boat ride, and I was looking for a 4 hour ride for us, but 3 hours was truly just enough so we can enjoy doing other things for our vacay. If we're back this way, would definitely come back for this crew!

My friends and I were looking to be on the water everyday while we were vacationing in Panama City…read moreBeach. The beach and pool are always a good time, but nothing beats being on the open water so we booked a catamaran ride through Island Time Sailing. We booked a good month in advance and the company was very communicative when we reached out regarding possible bad weather in the area during our trip. Well, the bad weather never came and the day arrived for our sailing. We arrived early as instructed and parking was not an issue. They share a space with The Dock PCB which is a waterfront bar. Island Time has a little booth off to the side where you check in and get your boarding passes. Once checked in, we grabbed some drinks at The Dock and patiently waited to set sail. The area has plenty of seating both covered and out in the sun. The dock is off to the side and I am not sure if it's exclusively for Island Time. We set up shop right by the dock and were first in line to board. If you want a prime seats on the boat, get there early like us. We were greeted by our captain Cristo so brought us on board. There we were introduced to Emma and Emily who made sure everybody had a great time on our trip. They were our bartenders, but they also anchored the boat, helped everyone out in the water and generally made the trip so much more fun. Give those girls a raise! Our trip to Shell Island was nice and smooth. They kept a steady pace and found a great spot to anchor. Once we anchored, we were free to do what we wanted for a few hours. They gave us clear instructions on watching the flags on the boat to know when it was almost time to go as well as when you needed to have your butt back on the boat. They also sound an alarm. There is absolutely no reason why you should miss getting back on board on time. The place we anchored was perfect. The water felt great. It was clean and had great access to a beautiful beach area which we explored a little bit. While we were in the water, a few different food boats came around for things like BBQ, tacos and ice cream. Emma and Emily were checking on us frequently and getting drinks for us when needed. On the ride back, Cristo even had enough wind to set the sail which was cool to see. The whole ride was filled with great music as well. Overall, we had a fantastic time on this excursion. I highly recommend it if you are visiting Panama City Beach. I will definitely come back next time I am in the area.
