Capt. Kenny would be the guide to pick, hands down, for us. His thorough knowledge of Pensacola and the surrounding waters is likely unmatched since he's a born native area of this area and fishing is his passion. He was in full control of from the start and made us feel safe as well. His accommodations for whatever fish you're after are ready to go. He didn't waste any time when the fish weren't biting either. His electronics find the fish, and we were ready when he said "drop em boys"! Best trip we've had. We're coming back! Thanks again Captain Kenny! Troy

Me and my dad went out with captain Alex and had the greatest experience fishing we have ever had. The captain was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable in the area but still gave us a lot of freedom on deciding what we wanted to go for. There was never a dull moment if we weren’t catching fish we were laughing and joking around making the trip even better. It was very obvious that he genuinely cared about giving us a good experience and he definitely did, when we decided to go for shark and we got to the spot it took 5 seconds till I was hooked on a 11 foot tiger shark and he taught me what to do to make sure I land my first ever shark. Truly was one of me and my dad’s favorite memories we have ever made and will definitely be going out with bandit fishing again. Also he gave us amazing recommendations for the area where we could have the fish we caught cooked, COULD NOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH

8 hour offshore trip on June 14, 2025
Alex and his crew were very accommodating and went above and beyond. Two out of three of us in our party were inexperienced at offshore fishing and they made our experience so much fun! I highly recommend booking with them!

4 Hour Trip – Nearshore on July 15, 2024
This is my second trip with Captain Alex and I’m hooked🔥 Last year was phenomenal and this year was just as amazing, fishing a different experience. Bonita, Spanish and King Mackerel. The real prize was a large Bull shark followed by a large Tiger shark. What a treat! My two grandsons had a blast. Getting this beasts up was exhausting but so cool. I’ve never had this level of excitement and expertise in all the years of fishing in the gulf. Captain Alex is the best and great with the kids! Thank you!

Captain Alex made this a very memorable experience for my entire party. Caught tons of Reds and other types of fish. Would highly recommend if you are considering a fishing charter in the Pensacola area.

Pensacola native, my first love was pier fishing where I gained traction in the fishing community. Was the first mate on a federally-permitted boat for many years. There is only one reason people choose this career, love.
