Captain Chris Wiwi and Double W Charters will work hard to make your next fishing adventure the trip of a lifetime! With over 20 years of guiding experience, your captain is more than ready to help you explore the secrets of Panama City Beach waters.

If you’re looking for a premier destination for inshore and coastal light tackle fishing, you’ve come to the right place. You will get to some of the hottest fishing grounds in comfort and style thanks to the 26’ Blue Wave Pure Bay, rigged with a 350 HP Mercury Verado engine. She is fully equipped to take up to 4 persons to new fishing horizons, and all-Shimano fishing gear will be provided for you as well.

You can go fly fishing on the flats, test your bottom fishing skills, or give offshore angling a chance — Capt. Chris will gladly take you where you want to go. On your to-catch list could be anything from Speckled Trout and Redfish, to Mahi Mahi, Grouper, Red Snapper, and King Mackerel, depending on what you’re targeting.

You can choose how much time you will spend on the water, but naturally, longer hours mean catching more fish, and who doesn’t want that? Whatever your strategy, one thing’s for sure, you’re not going home empty-handed.

Want to help your little ones fall in love with fishing? Feel free to bring them along, Capt. Chris has all the safety equipment they might require. This is an excellent opportunity to have a fun family outing you will cherish in the years to come.

What else do you need to take with you? Great mood, some drinks, snacks, lunch for longer trips, and let Capt. Chris take care of everything else. Double W Charters makes sure you have the best time reeling in your next personal record, so don’t miss a chance to try out their premier service!

8 Hour Trip – Gulf Reef (AM)

The best time ever even caught a wall hanger

GECONTROLEERD

Can’t say enough good things about our fishing trip with Chris Wawa in Panama City! From start to finish, it was an absolute blast. Chris knows exactly where to go to find the fish, and he kept us reeling all day long. I even hooked into a shark (couldn’t quite land him), but I did pull in a 35-inch red grouper — a monster they call a “fire truck” — and it’s going on the wall! But what really stood out was how awesome Chris was with our kiddos. He was patient, encouraging, and made sure they were included in all the action. You can tell he genuinely enjoys sharing the experience with families. The kids had the time of their lives and are still talking about it. If you're looking for a fun, family-friendly, and action-packed fishing adventure, Chris Wawa is the one to book. Can’t wait for the next trip!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM)

Fish On

GECONTROLEERD

Our family of five (16, 13, 10 yo kids) had a great day of fishing. The boat was clean, plenty of places to sit and lots of fish to catch. We went to a handful of different areas to fish and had plenty of opportunities to real them in. Went home with plenty of fish to cook for a few days. Highly recommend Captain Chris who is very experienced not only with fishing, but also boat safety and knowledge of the area. He offered plenty of guidance to our family and was great with our kids. We will definitely be back and will plan on booking with Chris again.

Myself, a friend, and my 9 year old went out with Chris and he put us on the fish! In addition to over 25 snapper and grouper, we also caught a few Bonita and a Cobia. Chris went the extra mile to make sure we caught some keepers we could take home to cook. He was patient with us and my son, and we will be looking to book with him again! Highly recommend!
