Coastal Life Charters invites you down to the sandy shores of Pensacola to fish the local waters.

Coastal Life Charters specialize in offering fun, affordable family friendly trips. The boat has an enclosed bathroom, and there is no additional person charge on any of our trips, making them great for the whole family!

Spend anything from two to five hours on the water. Fish the bays, inlets, intracoastal waters, and nearshore reefs and wrecks. Target Redfish, Spadefish, Flounder, Trout, Sheepshead, Mangrove Snapper, Red Snapper and more.

And it doesn't all have to be about the fishing. If you're looking for a family adventure, you can also combine your trip with eco tours. See dolphins and beautiful beaches. On some trips, you can even watch the Blue Angels practicing in the skies above you!

Whatever you do, you can rely on a clean, modern boat with plenty of comforts to keep you all happy throughout the day. Our 22' Robalo center console can carry groups of up to six in perfect safety. She has a head for extra convenience on longer trips, and is loaded up with enough equipment to bring even the toughest gamefish to bear.

All Coastal Life Charters adventures come with tackle, bait, lures and licenses. Just bring your food, drinks, sunscreen, and a cooler to fit all your fish in at the end of the day.

If the trip you are looking for is already booked, please check the other listings the captain has on FishingBooker by clicking on his profile below.

3HR Inshore/Bay Fishing - Summer on August 3, 20261 adult1 child

Mom and son trip to celebrate double digits and Michael was great! We caught more then we took photos, too busy fishing! He kept us up and going. We are used to bass fishing so we had lots of laughs with is trying to set the hooks and fish like we are used to. Michael was patient and kept the competitive spirit going with mom vs son. He got the best of me that time, but we will be back next year for me to take the win! 😂
