Our Story
R&R Charters was created by Ron and Joyce Panzero over 20 years ago to serve two purposes: to satisfy Ron's unhealthy addiction to fishing and to help support the relief ministry Joyce had begun in Kenya Africa. The name originally stood for Ron and Ronnie, as Ron hoped to one day pass on his business to his son Ronnie. In 2011 Ron was ready to fully retire to spend more time with
his bride and Ronnie had taken a job in the south sound so he was unable to assume the charter business as was planned. Ron, and Highliner Charters owner Brett Rosson, had met in 2006 at Christ the King Church in Anacortes and became close friends as Ron had mentored Brett in the charter fishing business. In 2011 Brett approached Ron about purchasing R&R "lock stock and barrel" as they say, and later that year an agreement was made. R&R charters remains in close partnership with Highliner Charters to this day and often books its overflow on Highliner's boat. Both companies and staff are committed to the same high standards of customer service. Our shared business model is simple "Catch Fish and Treat People Right". We can't guarantee the former, but we do guarantee the latter. Here's some of what we offer:
A top-of-the-line fishing experience. We focus on finding the fish while providing unparallelled comfort, hospitality, and safety.

We operate 2 charter boats which enables us split larger parties (greater than 6) for comfort & convenience. We're fully equipped with up-to-date fishing gear and tackle. R&R Charters relies on the latest in electronics, tackle and safety equipment.
