I been on out on this boat now once a month for the past 3 months. And every time I fish on the treasure island boat everybody takes fish home. The crew is the best the captain keeps you on the fishing. Only when the fish quit biting is the only time Captain Brandan moves .
You have other crew members as well Leo , Spencer , and another young man ? . ( these men work on tips ). But work their tails off for those tips . When OHIO Fishes and limits out others receive fish as well. It’s a Great day with the jubilee charter’s. Yesterday I bagged 33 pounds of vermillion snapper. Last month I had 33 pounds as well
Well worth it on an 8 hour trip. As a regular fisherman
There’s other in the area I have fished but the Jubilee Charters is my Favorite .
And this is why so y’all come down to Panama City Beach to jubilee charters. Remember OHIO State Buckeye sent you.

Spent part of a day ,5 hour fishing trip, with Jubilee Fishing. This was a great experience, crew were extremely helpful and informative. Captain put us right over 5 fishing spots where we all got our fair share of fish. although many fish were out of season and had to be released, it was a lot of fun catching them and got to keep some to make a delicious fish dinner. Highly recommend Jubilee for overall great day . Staff in office were very helpful making sure our group was together as much as possible and handled any questions quickly and pleasantly. Boat was clean and equipment well maintained. Covered all necessary safety and fishing rules. Crew and captain called out fish caught and kept a running dialogue was happening at each fishing spot. As soon a fish stopped biting we would move on to another site. Thanks to all the people at Jubilee for offering an experience to remember.

Excellent 5 hour fishing trip! The boat was CLEAN, the crew was polite, very knowledgeable and extremely helpful and it was a great beginner deep sea fishing trip. We booked a 7 am departure and everything was on time. The seas were rough that morning and a very serious safety and comfort briefing was given. Despite rough (3-5 foot swells) the captain did a great job taking us to 5 fishing sites and holding the boat steady. Attention was given to fishing laws and anything caught that was too small or out of season was immediately tossed back. Each fish pulled in was immediately identified and measured and then tossed into your own bucket. We came off the boat with a string of fish and headed down the dock to a small place to have it processed for the drive home Definitely recommend!

Very dissatisfied, they cut the trip short by an hour, because a bunch of people got sea sick. They offered a $5.00 refund, not worth standing in line for. I’ve been on several fishing trips and they have never cut a trip short for sea sickness. They warned us not to go if you might get get sick, because of 4-5 ft swells. I didn’t think it was that bad.
Also I was stuck next to the drunk guy that kept invading my space. Stood in front of me while talking to his friends. He couldn’t keep his pole in front of him and kept tangling up everyone. Then he starts playing loud music on a bad speaker really loud. Kept trying to help me when I didn’t need it.
The crew was nice and helpful, but never addressed the drunk guy.
I would like a full refund.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience on our boat. Just to clarify about cancelling the trip, we did so because the seas got rougher as the day went by and we did it for safety reasons, not because people got seasick. As far as being stuck beside a drunk guy, did you complain to the crew or captain? If so, what was their response?

This was our first experience with deep sea fishing; which was on my husband’s bucket list. As a younger couple, I thought we would feel out of place but I was wrong. It was awesome from start to finish. Capt Brandon and the crew were amazing and cared for everyone on the ship with them. Multiple times I stopped fishing due to some hand issues that I have, every time they made sure I was okay and if they could do anything. Chops tried to even help me find and easier way to hold the pole. We caught three fish each and we’re able to keep three of them due to size and a species. We went to the fish market and had them cleaned, then cooked them the same night. Don’t forget we saw dolphins and one of the individuals on the boat caught a medium shark that the crew had to wrangle before we could head back to shore. What an experience!!!

We are a family of four with a 2 year old and a 6 year old that we took with us on a 5 hour trip and we had a blast! We always do things as a family and I was getting let down by seeing alot of charters didnt allow small kids. I LOVE the fact they welcome them. The deck hands were great. Our deckhand let our kids touch about every fish we caught. The captain (Brandon) was awesome and let our oldest drive the boat on the way back. He was always announcing who was catching what around the boat which was pretty cool. Whenever the fish slowed down he took us to a new spot and we started bringing em in left and right. My kids were never whiny because they loved watching everything going on. Thank you Jubillee! We will tell everyone to come here and next time we are here we will be back. Also we got to see dolphins on the way out, and back, and I caught an eel! Never know what you might catch.

These guys work their butts off and try very hard to put you on the fish. Unfortunately this visit just wasn’t our lucky day, after talking to several mates it’s just been a tough week. I still highly recommend them just know it is fishing and you could come home empty handed.

If you are a seasoned fisherman or woman or just a family whom want to experience a fishing trip in the gulf of Mexico this this is the place to go.
Captain Brandon will get you on the fish and the deck hands are amazing and on top of things. The deck hands are very attentive and will help you with the tackle and any challenges if this is your first time fishing. I have gone out with these folks half a dozen times and at 70-80 bucks for six or eight hours on the water the price cannot be beat. Much better (cost effective) than a 800-1000 dollar charter and you get to meet folks from all over the USA. Fishing is a universal experience and sometimes you catch and sometimes you fish but everyone will have a good time. Jubilee fishing is the place to go. I highly recommend.

Let's face it, the second day of snapper season and out of 70 fishers we got 2 legal red snapper! Sorry guys but that's not acceptable. 1 grouper. I could understand 2 or 3 weeks into the season but the second day? And when you get out they get the better bait out and SELL it to you for 10$, a sandwich bag. When we did get on a few snappers the Capt moved and his excuse was there was a porpoise near by. You guys really need to re-evaluate your trips

I took the 5 hr 7 AM fishing trip. The Captain was very Friendly. The crew were good and the boat was clean. The fishing was non stop action. I got a bite almost every time I dropped my bait in the water . One hint is don't jerk the rod to set the hook when you get a bite like you do in bass fishing. It was hard for me to not to do that. If I hadn't I'd have caught more fish. They offer a bag of Mackerel for bait for $10. I'd buy it. The bag last longer than you might think. The bigger fish prefer it over the free squid the boat provides. One thing you must understand going in is the vast majority of the fish are small. I did catch 1 legal limit red snapper. If you want to catch bigger fish then pay the $2000 or whatever for a private charter that goes out farther. If you just want to have a great fun half a day fishing and have non stop action this is for you. I had my fish cleaned right next door. They had them ready about 45 minutes before they said they'd be ready. I cooked some for dinner that night. They were awesome !! I'd highly recommend Jubilee fishing. I've been going to Panama City every year since the 70's , I'd never done this fishing trip. I wish I had. I'll do it on all my future vacations from now on.

Does Jubilee prep the fish you catch so it can be ready to cook?
No. But Treasure Island Seafood Market is right there and they will take your fish and filet them. They give you a number and you come back and pick them up and pay. It is based on weight.
How far out in the gulf does the 5 hour trip go?
Not exactly sure of the distance but we rode for about 45 minutes before we stopped to fish. It depends some on the weather, wind, etc.
What is the price for four hour trip for adult and eleven year old? And do you have any availability’s the week of July 19, 2020 thru July 23,2020?
All their prices are listed on their website. As well as schedules
I need some prices for about a 3-4 hour fishing trip on May 11 or 12th. For sure there will be 2 adult men and possibly 2 adult women and 2 toddlers that are 2 and under.
the 9am to 2pm trip is around $60 per person. may be cheaper for a group.
