We had an absolute blast with Captain Alek! He’s laid back, fun, and truly wants you to catch fish. He took us to the perfect spot where we reeled in blackfin tuna along with 10+ other tuna—nonstop action! The best part was how hands-on he was: Captain would bait the hook, I’d cast and catch, and before I even turned around, he already had another rod ready for me. Jordan even landed a massive champion blackfin tuna that had Captain just as excited as we were!

From start to finish, it was an unforgettable experience. Even if the fishing hadn’t been as lucky, I know Captain Alek would’ve made sure we had a great time. He did not disappoint, and we’ll definitely be booking with him again—no question about it. Highly recommend to anyone looking for the best charter in Miami. We won’t be using anyone else!

We had an absolutely fantastic time on the 4-hour snapper trip with Bear Cut Bandit, and I can’t say enough great things about Captain Alex. We brought our son along for his first real fishing experience, and it couldn’t have gone better.

From the moment we stepped on the boat, Captain Alex was incredibly well-prepared, professional, and welcoming. You can tell immediately that he’s not only highly experienced and knowledgeable about the waters and fishing techniques, but also truly enjoys what he does. He was patient, answered all of our questions (We had a lot) and made sure everyone felt comfortable and involved throughout the trip.

We had some amazing family time—caught some snapper, learned a lot, left with some great fish, amazing memories, and a pretty decent tan. Captain Alex was especially kind and encouraging with our son (he was very nervous), taking the time to show him the ropes and make sure he was having fun.

If you’re looking for a great family-friendly fishing trip with a captain who knows his stuff and treats his guests like friends, Bear Cut Bandit with Captain Alex is the way to go. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Alek was a great captain! Not only did he explain the tackle he also provided info on the type of fish. We did the catch and cook experience and Alek filleted and grilled the fish and we ate the fish we caught right on the boat! Alek also gave us some background on the area and I liked how he communicated with the other anglers to try to make it to the spots where the fish were biting. We caught vermillion snapper (which were very delicious). Alek will adjust the experience based on how much or little you know about fishing.

We had a fun day out on the water. Between the four of us, we caught 17 snappers and an amberjack, but the highlight was catching the mahi-mahi. The school of mahi-mahi was beautiful in the water and watching one jump out of the water was incredible! Thanks, Alek, for a fun day and good luck to your boys with baseball!!

Capt Alek is absolutely amazing!  He got us hooked on some kingfish and some other species right away.  It was literally one after the other.  There was NO downtime because he had us reeling in fish after fish the entire time.  Then he got us on some Blackfin Tuna.  it was definitely challenging but he was able to guide us through.  Even bagged a beuatiful Mahi.  Capt Alek is the best.  If we ever come to Miami to fish again, there is no doubt who we will book to fish with.
