Captain John was great and put you on fish even when conditions are not optimal. This was our second trip and it was just as great as the first.

Such a great time with Capt. Vann. This was our second time out and there will definitely be a third. This trip was with my teenage son and his friend. Capt. Vann had them angling like pros in short order. It was the highlight of our week in Panama City. Highly recommend.

Best guide in Panama City. Amazing day on the water with Capt. Vann. 16 year-old boys aren’t the easiest to keep happy, but my son and his buddy were all smiles reeling in Amberjacks all day. This was our second time going out with Last Local. Can’t wait until the next trip.

Would have given a 10 if possible! Knowledgeable guide that works the entire trip for you. Very clean boat and puts safety first. Excellent t guide that works relentlessly to find you hot spots to fish.

Very knowledgeable guide The best guide ever! Relentless in looking for "hot" spots for us! Captain John checks all the boxes! Clean boat, knowledge guide, attentive, easy to do business with. Will definitely use again if in the area.

Outstanding guide! Very knowledgeable able the area and "hot spots" for fish. He worked the entire time we were out. Very clean boat with good equipment.

Great guys We were out and about on our boat today at shell Island and got beached these amazing guys came and gave us a hand getting unstuck without expecting anything in return, truly grateful thanks guys very much!!

Best local fishing guide. He always makes sure we have fun, safe and catch plenty of fish. Wouldn’t fish with anyone else in PCP area.

I have gone on charter trips all around North America, some good and others not so good. I don't measure a trip by the number or size of the fish you catch. I have been on trips with really good captains/crew where we didn't catch anything and have been on some really poorly run outfits where we caught trophies. That being said, Captain Vann is top notch! It didn't feel at all like a paid charter but rather going fishing with a friend, and that is rare. Prior to booking I noticed all the positive reviews about how great he is with kids, and after fishing with him I can definitely see that. He is very easy going with a purpose to put you on fish, and these qualities don't often exist together on one boat/captain. Now on to the highlights... You can see from the pics that we caught fish, but what you don't see is the 10-12 other red snappers that looked just like the ones in the pictures that we released without a photo. We joked on the trip about how we lost track of how many we had caught, but best guess was "probably less than 15". The two groupers were a nice bonus. We actually cut the trip short because I had a plane to catch and quite frankly my arms felt like jello! It was literally "fish on" within a minute of dropping down to depth. Overall, I can't say enough about Captain Vann and Last Local except that I may be visiting the PCB area on a "family trip" more often and can't wait until our little girl is old enough to come with. Thanks for a great experience!

Great fishing trip. Capt. Vann provided vital education on fishing to make sure the good fish made it in the boat. I would easily recommend Last Local Fishing Guide for your fishing charter.

“Vann”-tastic! Great fishing trip. You can easily tell that Capt. Vann loves what he does and he wants to make sure his clients catch fish AND enjoy the experience at the same time. I would easily recommend Last Local Fishing Guide for your fishing charter.
