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. Our boat is a 28' Parker which sports a heated enclosed cabin , private and spacious bathroom facilities, and plenty of seating. 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.

The day before your trip, your guide will reach out to you and send you a pin drop with the meeting spot located along the river he has chosen. Trips will meet at first light so you will need to plan accordingly.

We encourage you to check Google Maps to see how long it will take to get the spot along the river.

Cleaning and filleting of your catch is offered at the end of the trip. Don't forget to bring a cooler with ice for the transport of your catch. Vacuum packing and shipping are not offered for river trips.
