Snappers plus dolphins equals a perfect afternoon

Jun 2022 • Family

If a week at Pensacola Beach is an ice cream sundae then spending an afternoon with Captain Kenny is the cherry on top. Our group of five (including my 10 year old daughter) had an awesome time and easily caught our limit of red snapper, enjoying the fight with these aggressive fish. Enticed by the bait and snappers a trio of dolphins came right up to the boat which was fun to see. Captain Kenny was great with all of us, teaching those that needed it, and helping with the more feisty fish. He’s easy to talk to and runs a fantastic charter. We’re definitely going to be giving him a call when we come back next summer. Cheers!

Son & Dad Repeat

Mar 2021 • Family

Feading a son and father’s love for fishing, Captain Kenny has been top notch at helping make memories for three years. Three years of catching a variety of different fish from spring to late summer. While dad still has the biggest catch/shark, little man continues to outnumber.

Having experienced many charter fishing trips from Alaska to Guam, Captain Kenny leads all as he his a natural entertainer, educator and fishanato!

Thank you Captain Kenny!

Very Highly Recommended

May 2020 • Business

Captain Kenny and Austin took my family out on a 4 hour deep sea fishing guide and it was the absolute best experience we have ever experienced. The smiles on my kids faces were priceless! They went above and beyond to make sure it was memorable trip and they surpassed the expectations. They are very knowledgeable of the area and educated us on things we never knew. I will definitely use them each and everytime I go to Pensacola area. Thank you!

Best Fishing Guide in the Panhandle

Mar 2020 • Family

Once again we chartered with Captain Kenny, and once again (8th time) a great time was had by the entire gang. Captain Kenny delivers a memorable time every time , he knows where the fish are and has the bait and tools to get them in the boat. This time it was Trigger fish ( see my picture on his site , with a big one). Last time it was Red snapper ( another big one in the boat) time before that a huge Spanish mackerel (fed 4 people 2 times ! ).

Fishing in Pensacola with Captain Kenny

Jul 2021 • Family

Captain Kenny and his crew were wonderful. Communication was clear leading up to the trip and Captain Kenny treated us with kindness and respect throughout the booking and during the entire trip. He and his crew were VERY knowledgeable about the marine life and the area. Most of all, we had FUN! We caught hammer head and black tip sharks and Spanish mackerel. Very family friendly and I highly recommended booking with them.

Spring Break Charter

Apr 2021 • Family

Took two teenage boys on 6 hour offshore charter. We were catching fish from the moment we started, and it never slowed down. We had multiple times when all three of us had a fish on....and sometimes pulled up doubles on the same rod.
Capt Kenny sure knows his business and is very personable. We will be booking with him the next time we’re in the area.

Best you will ever find !!

Mar 2020 • Family

Captain Kenny Lewis will keep you on the fish. He is a amazing person who will make you feel like you’ve been friends since elementary school. He works so hard and makes sure you always are catching fish while you are in his boat. There was never a time we weren’t catching fish or him baiting our hook to catch more fish. I have been fishing with him a couple of times now and every single time I have had nothing short of an amazing fishing trip making memories. He is so good with kids and inexperienced anglers. Teaching and explaining as you fish just absolutely an amazing humble and honest man. His lifetime experience fishing the waters you can’t get anywhere else. The second you get done fishing I promise you will be looking to see when you can book again. Best Charter service you will ever find !!

Incredibly Fun Time

Oct 2021 • Friends

Perfect family fishing experience with Captain Kenny and Evan. They were very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful despite our family’s limited fishing experience. Caught many fish and they did a great job filleting them. We left early and saw a beautiful sunrise over Fort Pickens. An added bonus was the dolphins that swam up to the boat for an up close encounter. We’ll be talking about this fishing trip for many years to come. Highly recommend calling Captain Kenny to set up a trip!

Hooked on the gulf

Mar 2023 • Friends

Great experience! We had changed our date due to cold weather and the group at Panhandle charters adjusted their schedule, so we could make it happen on a better day. Caught some sheepshead and then went shark fishing. Captain Trevor kept our poles ready for fish! Beautiful day on the bay and gulf.

Great snapper trip with Captain Kenny!

Jun 2021 • Friends

We had 5 people fishing with Captain Kenny and his deckhand, Evan. We caught our limits of red snapper with a couple of bonus fish. Captain Kenny and Evan did a great job of keeping our lines in the water and catching quality fish. This was our second trip with Captain Kenny. A trip with Panhandle Charters will always be on our list when we are in the area.
