Incredible Day on the Water with Captain Alek!

INSHORE SPECIAL (4 PEOPLE MAX) on June 20, 2025

If you’re looking for the ultimate fishing experience, look no further than Captain Alek’s charter! From the moment we stepped on board, Alek made us feel welcome, safe, and completely at ease. His knowledge of the local waters is top-notch he knew exactly where to go and had us on fish in no time. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-timer, Captain Alek tailors the trip perfectly to your skill level. He was patient, professional, and genuinely excited every time someone got a bite. The boat was spotless and well-equipped, and you could tell Alek takes pride in both his gear and his guest experience. What really set this charter apart was the energy and passion Alek brings to the trip. It’s not just a job for him it’s clear he loves what he does, and that enthusiasm is contagious. We ended the day with a cooler full of fish and memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend booking with Captain Alek you won’t regret it!

8 Hour Trip (AM) on June 24, 2025

this was hands down the most adrenaline rushing fishing trip I've ever been on, it was me and captain alek, the ocean was quite rough but he was willing to take me anyway when most charters would have cancelled on me. We found ourselves in an absolutely massive group of mahi and had the rods bent one after another for an hour straight, I've done a lot of fishing with a lot of different boats and this guy knows what the hell he's doing for sure !

Unforgettable Fishing Trip – 10/10 Experience!

VERIFIED

Catch and cook. Sashimi/grilledfish on April 7, 2025

We had the most incredible time out on the water with Alek! From the moment we stepped onto the boat, we knew we were in good hands. The vibes were great, the gear was top-notch, and the captain’s knowledge of the area was seriously impressive. Not only did we catch a bunch of fish, but the highlight of the trip was reeling in a shark—yes, a SHARK! It was an adrenaline rush we’ll never forget. The captain handled everything like a pro and made sure everyone felt safe and excited the whole time. Whether you’re a first-time fisherman or a seasoned angler, this is the kind of trip you dream about. Can’t recommend this experience enough—book it, you won’t regret it!

4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 4, 2025

If you are looking for an enjoyable fishing charter don’t hesitate to call Bearcut Bandit charters. My son and I took a 1/2 day charter this past week with Bearcut and we had a great time on the water. We caught some fish and the weather cooperated as well. The boat and equipment was top notch and Captain Alek provided all the assistance my son needed to create a lifetime of memories. Highly recommend.

8 Hour Trip (PM) on July 2, 2025

Our party was 2 adults and 2 under 12 kids. We did an 8hr trip and requested to explore Biscayne Natl park as well. Alek did a great job in accomodating our request. We had a great time fishing. Caught some barracuda and mangrove snapper. We explored Boca Chica Key and lighthouse. We also snorkled the beach there which was full of life. Overall, it was a great day and would highly recommend.
