Anchor Charters - Panama City, Florida

We had an absolute blast with Chris at Anchor Charters!

From the moment we stepped onto the boat, the environment Chris created was peaceful, and deeply relaxing. He holds such a kind spirit that immediately made us feel at home.

Chris showed us some stunning Ocean treasures and majestic gems. His passion for the sea and the wildlife was inspiring —it awakened our imagination, expanded our hearts, and left us with full hearts. The way he spoke about the ocean and the creatures within it was both inspiring and educational. You can feel his passion and it is contagious.

One of my favorite moments was sitting quietly at the bow of the boat, with the fresh salt air in my face, blowing thru my hair . As I was breathing in the Air & feeling the sun on my skin, I felt this wave of emotion shower over me with a deep feeling of gratitude. The dolphins, the emerald crystal-clear waters, the laughter, the connection—it was all soul medicine. Chris’s friends, who invited me to join the trip, were also beautiful souls who lifted my spirit with joy, laughter, and such welcoming energy.

If you're looking for a magical experience filled with fun, relaxation, and oceanic wonder—I cannot recommend Chris enough.
Thank you from the depths of my heart, Chris. I left that day with my heart overflowing with joy and gratitude .

Such an awesome experience with Chris! We had so much fun. He knows the area, told us some really cool facts and truly took his time in showing us all the dolphins. My daughter said today was #thebestdayever and I couldn’t agree more. From holding a jellyfish to filling our shell bag with tons of sand dollars to seeing so many dolphins. We will never forget today! Highly recommend! Definitely will be back.

Dolphins Dolphins and more Dolphins READ IT ALL!! Make sure you don’t sleep on this Amazing Eco charter!! Starting with a slow pull up to the dock we met with our guide for the day, Captain Chris and man did he show out! From showing us so much sea life in the gulf, to informing us on some local history and great conversation. He definitely showed our small family the warmest welcome and best time we have had since we have arrived to the PC (Panama city) area and we are so grateful for him and his amazing dolphin finding abilities. We saw more than 40 dolphins for over an hour and while doing it carefully he was so cautious,respectful and again amazing! If you’re planning on a charter that won’t disappoint make sure you contact ANCHOR CHARTERS and book it! You’ll love it!! Thank you from RvLivingLife and see you soon..

Had the best time with Alex today … Anchors Charters were beyond accommodating … working around the wind to make our tour the best it could be! It was AMAZING!! Best captain out there. Not only did we see several large pods of dolphins jumping, playing & chilling … we seen so many sea turtles & stopped at the beautiful shell island. We even had a surprise F35 fly over!!! What a perfect day!

What a great experience! Chris is professional, knowledgeable and personable. The tours are private so you don’t have other people you don’t know joining and they are tailored to what you want. I really wanted to see Dolphins so we spent hours watching different pods of Dolphins. He was always respectful of the marine life so we would get close enough to get an awesome view but far enough away so as to not disturb them. I would HIGHLY recommend!

BEST GIRLS DAY OUT EVER!!!
We had the most magical day! Captain Chris at had us playing with the dolphins for over an hour and they were playing back.

It was super cool….apparently he’s built a rapport with them and They just played alongside and in front of the boat until we decided, we wanted to go check out some other sea life. I don’t know maybe the stars just aligned for us that day, hands-down, the best Echo tour I’ve been on in Panama City and I’m a local I get on the water a bunch!!

LITERALLY CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT CHRIS AND ALEX WITH Anchor Charters!!!! 10/10 from our entire family! They were phenomenal with kids ages 8, 10 and 17!! Everyone loved it!!!! As a mom who appreciates a laid back atmosphere where you can relax and still have GREAT FUN - these are the guys you want!! ❤️🐬🐚 We did the 4 hour eco tour in late March and it was perfect! 2 hours wouldn’t have been enough it was so fun. We brought a cooler of snacks and drinks. We started at 10 and finished at 2! The water was quiet and calm starting out! And warm enough to get in by the time we made it to shell island!! It was a fever dream as my 17 yr old would say ❤️🤩💙
