What to Expect
on a 30A Bay Guide Service Charter
Captain & Boat
Meet Captain Marvin Glasgow — a local, inshore specialist who knows the flats, backcountry, and bay waters around Santa Rosa Beach (30A), Florida inside and out. Whether you’re brand new to fishing or already confident on light tackle, Captain Marvin keeps the day relaxed, friendly, and focused on putting you on fish.
You’ll be fishing from a restored 22’ Cape Horn bay boat, built for comfort and versatility in shallow-water and inshore conditions. The boat is set up for up to 6 guests and runs a 225 HP Honda with a top speed of around 45 knots, so you can cover water efficiently and reach productive areas fast.
What's Included
Captain Marvin keeps it simple — everything you need to fish is included. He provides the rods, reels, tackle, bait, and the required fishing licenses, so you can just enjoy the day.
The boat is fully equipped with GPS, fishfinder, and VHF radio, plus a wireless trolling motor, livewell, and ice box for a smooth, comfortable trip.
Just bring weather-appropriate clothing, sun protection, and your own snacks and drinks. If you keep fish, Captain Marvin will clean and bag your catch at the end of the trip.
Where We Launch
Trips launch from three convenient areas depending on conditions and your trip plan: Santa Rosa Beach, Freeport, and Panama City Beach. Captain Marvin will confirm the best launch point ahead of time to match the weather, tides, and where the bite is strongest—so you spend more time fishing and less time travelling.
