Took my 10-year-old son out for his first deep sea fishing trip with Captain Phillip and it absolutely exceeded our expectations. We were barely dropping our lines before we had bites — by the end of the trip we had pulled in somewhere between 40 and 50 fish between the two of us, keeping 20 to take home. What really impressed me was how Captain Phillip picked spots and set us up with the right bait and technique, putting us on fish that were the perfect size for my son to reel in completely on his own — a huge confidence boost for a kid! He even let us stay out an extra hour past our 6-hour booking just so my son could keep fishing, which meant the world to us. Captain Phillip filleted our catch right there and pointed us to a local restaurant that cooked it up for us — couldn't have asked for a better first experience.
Thank you for choosing Real Life Charters for your offshore fishing trip. It was truly a pleasure having you and your son aboard. Watching him catch fish was incredible—he definitely has a natural talent! I felt honored to witness such a special father-and-son experience. I’m also glad you had the chance to enjoy a meal from the fish you caught—that’s always one of the best part of the trip. Wishing you safe travels home, and I hope to see you both again soon. Best regards, Capt. Phil
Had an awesome day on the water! We had to try a few different spots to find the fish, but Capt. Phil was working hard and we found what we were looking for! The gulf had a bit of an attitude on the ride out, we stuck it out, the Boat handled the 3-4 foot seas like a champ and Capt. Phil handled the boat like a professional. Overall a great experience. You can tell Capt. Phil loves what he does and works to make sure you have a good time.
Hey Matthew, You really stepped up to the plate and knocked it out of the park bringing that big fish into the boat! I’m glad you had the chance to get out into the deeper waters of the Gulf. Thank you for choosing Real Life Charters—we truly appreciate it. I hope you enjoy the fish with your family and have a safe trip back home. Looking forward to getting you out on the water again soon. God bless, Capt. Phil
We caught a wide variety of keepers—George and Phil were great—the trip was excellent and highly recommend
Wayne, you guys rocked it today ... no pun intended. Waves were rocking. As the saying goes, “Go Big or Go Home.” Red Grouper over 27” in between catching a few sharks. We truly enjoyed seeing all of you catch the different species of fish and take them back with you to enjoy. We look forward to taking you out again. - Captain Phil
He put us on quite a few great schools of fish, we caught some keepers. Unfortunately the look was not completely with us because we did not get any keeper red grouper. Had a fantastic time and caught a lot of fish! Great captain, great knowledge, and a great experience!
Thank you for choosing Real Life Charters. Glad you had a chance to catch some fish that you can enjoy eating. Have a safe trip home. -Tight Lines, Captain Phil

Way to go guys. You really did well today. Couldn’t of picked a nicer day to go offshore. Looking forward to seeing you all and doing it again. Have a safe trip home. -Captain Phil
