Neptune Charter Group, LLC is a Panama City, Florida-based dive charter operator that runs boat charters, guided shore dives, training courses, and scenic cruises. The company offers a selection of scuba-focused trips — including multi-tank offshore wreck dives, inshore and night dives, divemaster-led shore dives at St. Andrews State Park, and a sunset cruise and dolphin tour aboard the vessel Neptune.
Trips include offshore 2-tank and inshore multi-tank charters that visit known wreck sites such as the USS Accokeek and the Liberty Ship, with depth ranges matching each itinerary. Guided shore dives are led by a divemaster at the Jetty Wall in St. Andrews State Park. The business provides an entry-level Open Water Scuba Diver course with instruction, equipment provision as described in course materials, and guided experiences appropriate to diver certification levels. Several offerings list durations (for example, 2-hour sunset cruises, 4-hour inshore charters, and 6-hour offshore trips) so guests can select trips that fit their schedule.
Neptune Charter Group communicates trip specifics — including depth ranges, site names, and certification requirements — allowing divers and passengers to choose suitable experiences. The operation serves Panama City Beach area visitors seeking wreck diving, night diving, shore-led marine life encounters, certification training, and family-friendly dolphin-watching cruises.
