We are passionate about offering an ever-changing menu, made from scratch daily, using only the freshest seafood and highest quality ingredients. Come for mouthwatering dishes, island cocktails, relaxed atmosphere and beautiful views!

The story begins with a group of friends on a boat, cruising the North Drop fishing grounds in the Virgin Islands, waiting for fish to bite and hoping to land an Atlantic Blue Marlin. Through their shared passion for boats, big-game fishing, seafood, and the stress-free lifestyle of the Caribbean, the idea of The Grand Marlin was born. In April 2010, The Grand Marlin Pensacola Beach first opened. The restaurant proved such a smashing success that in 2016 The Grand Marlin opened a second location, expanding to Panama City Beach.

The Grand Marlin has been serving Panama City’s best selection of fresh seafood since opening its doors in the fall of 2016. Offering a tranquil, relaxed atmosphere, The Grand Marlin’s delectable, daily menu specials from the kitchen of award-winning Chef Gregg McCarthy quickly established itself as a Panama City Beach mainstay. Chef Gregg’s concept remains simple – to focus on fresh, quality seafood and highlight it with local ingredients. And the concept is working.
