i could not ask for an better experience we got to catch bait for our big fishing witch was cool in just its self them to be able to hit fish with the bait we caught and captain Alex is just a cool and down to earth person was easy to talk to and to relate to i would go on another trip with him a 1000 times over again I highly recommend him and you would not be disappointed in yr charter with captain alex he put us on some very good spots but i will say 4 hrs is not enough time i highly recommend to go on 8 hr trip just bc as soon as the fishing gets good then you have to head in but we got put on so many different fish I highly recommend LIFE 2 SHORT AS YOUR FISHING CHARTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I appreciate you and look forward to having you guys back next time!
Our family took a 5 hour deep sea fishing trip with Alex on the Life’s 2 Short charter. Alex was a great captain and family friendly! He was able to teach us a few things and was excited to see the fish we were catching! His boat was a smooth ride and we were out at sea the whole time! You’ll have a blast! We had plenty of fresh fish we caught and had cooked at a local restaurant. Best fresh fish! Our kids loved every minute on the boat! They loved the cooked fish! We will go back to Alex! Thanks Alex!
I had a blast with your family and am so happy you enjoyed your fresh catch! Looking forward to our next adventure together!
Captain Alex was fantastic with the kids and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable for everyone. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and worked hard the entire trip trying to get us on fish. We ended up catching several fish and even a bull shark, which was definitely a highlight for the kids! You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure we had a great time on the water. Highly recommend Captain Alex for a fun family fishing charter!
Thank you Kenny, God bless you and your family!
Puts you on the fish and goes the extra mile for a day of success. Would go again tomorrow if I could. Offshore the red snapper, big grouper, king macs and cobia are within 7 miles of shore. Found the ride time is less than 10% of the total fishing time reserved due to 80ft of water and stacked spots are just a few miles off the beach. A few vermillion snapper and triggers for a well rounded day. thank you.
Thank you James, enjoyed having y’all and hope to see you guys next time you’re visiting the Emerald Coast!
1st spot got us on sharks. my group was too weak to reel the monster in! went and caught supper after that! captain was accommodating! would fish with him again. trip is best for anyone that wants to have fun.
I appreciate you guys and had a blast with your family! See you all next time 🤙🏼
