We booked a 6 hour trip starting at 0800. David was in contact with me leading up to and the morning of the trip. We arrived to the dock and had a few concerns about the weather; David was reassuring and professional in allowing us to make the final decision to go out.
We went out about 16 miles, great ride, lots of fun, smiles and laughter from my family. As soon as we stopped, David got us all set up with rods and bait.  The fish were biting as soon as we dropped the hooks.  It was crazy fun and amazing to see my kids with such huge grins.  Unfortunately, the lines were being bitten and we were not able to reel anything in.  David asked us to reel in our lines and we moved to a new spot.  As before, as soon as we dropped the lines, the fish were biting. This time, we were also reeling them in.  David bounced around to all of us making sure we had bait on our hooks, grabbed the fish when we reeled them in and helped my 11yr old reel on a 7-8 lb spade.  SHE WAS TICKLED PINK!!  He let her do all she could do, he didn’t take over at all.  He was so patient and encouraging with her, made my momma heart very happy. After checking the radar, we decided it would be a good idea (safer) to cut the trip short and go back in.  We arrived back to the dock and got pictures of our catch.  David cleaned our fish and put it in ziplock bags for us to take home.  He also told us about local restaurant’s that will cook what we caught. 
David, you were absolutely amazing, professional, patient and so very kind to all of us.  I WILL be booking another trip with you next time we are in town.  Thank you so much for turning this dreary day into a wonderful first trip into the gulf.

Captain Mike put us on so many fish. Had both of my boys with me one of whom had never been out on the ocean before. Plenty of fish. At least 10+ each and several different varieties. Do yourself a favor and call these guys if you want a quality guide and a quality trip. Plenty of amateurs out there dropping on top of snapper but if you want quality, quantity and an all around good time, ask for Captain Mike. This was my 11th year out in Pensacola and honestly speaking, I don’t think I’ve ever caught the amount of fish I did today on any other guide service. Mike had us laughing, catching fish and kept us safe. Thanks for showing us such a good time

My family and I had an absolutely amazing time on a recent charter fishing trip in Pensacola, Florida, and I can honestly say it was one of the best outdoor experiences I’ve ever had. From start to finish, everything was top-notch — from the professionalism of the captain and crew to the incredible fishing action out on the Gulf.
The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with quality gear. Our captain was not only experienced and knowledgeable about the local waters, but also friendly and eager to help everyone get the most out of the trip. Whether it was finding the best fishing spots, helping with bait and rigging, or offering tips to land the big ones, they went above and beyond.
We caught a great variety of fish, including red snapper, grouper, and even a few amber jacks. The thrill of reeling in those strong Gulf fighters with the sun rising over the water is something I won’t forget anytime soon. The crew made it even better by handling everything from baiting hooks to cleaning our catch — all we had to do was relax and enjoy the ride.
The views alone were worth the trip — dolphins, seabirds, and that beautiful emerald coastline made for a perfect backdrop to an already incredible day.
If you’re ever in Pensacola and looking for an authentic, fun, and productive day on the water, I highly recommend booking a charter fishing trip. It’s a great way to connect with nature, learn a few tricks, and maybe even bring home dinner

This was a great trip out! We opted for the 6 hour trip which gave us plenty of time to hit a few different spots and never felt rushed. David and his crew, RT, were absolute professionals, super knowledgeable, and genuinely great guys. He was super responsive before the trip to any questions I had, plus timely and prepared when we arrived. The boat and equipment was top notch with a very comfortable and smooth ride, out and back, and zero rod/reel/tackle failures.

I WILL be booking again when Amberjacks are in season and likely a tuna trip thereafter.

My late father-in-law loved to fish, and I just wanted my wife to feel a little of that same joy. She ended up catching the biggest fish on the boat — Captain David was hollering and cheering her on like it was a championship win!  Boats pulled up and anchored all around us thinking we were onto something (we were). We kept catching fish while they watched… and caught nothing.

It felt like a little blessing from above. Highly recommend Captain David — top-notch guide, great energy, and made the whole day unforgettable.
