Coastal Life Charters & Adventures
Coastal Life Charters & Adventures is all about making their customers happy. This is the home of Family Style Fishing Adventures! With affordable rates, no extra person charges, a comfortable boat with an enclosed restroom, and a wealth of knowledge, they invite anglers to enjoy the beautiful waters of the Emerald Coast. Trips depart out of Navarre, Gulf Breeze & Pensacola Beach FL. Trips can also run out of Destin, but please contact the captain at least a day before booking your trip so he can confirm availability. Anglers of all skill levels are welcome, the only requirement is that you want to have fun.
If the trip you are looking for is already booked, please check our other listings on FishingBooker.
The captain will greet you with a warm welcome aboard his 22’ Robalo center console with a single 200 HP Yamaha engine. She has plenty of fishing space for up to six anglers. It’s great if you want to take the whole family out for a ride.
The boat is outfitted with the latest navigational and fish finding electronics to save your time while searching for fish. As well as that, she is equipped with professional tools and accessories. There is also an enclosed bathroom on board, which is a much-needed thing when you spend your day on the water.
Coastal Life Charters & Adventures will take you to the Intracoastal waterways, the waters in and around the Pensacola Bay and the nearshore Gulf. Your main targeted species will be Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Sheepshead, Spadefish, Spanish Mackerel, and Snapper. But there is also a great chance to land Cobia, Triggerfish, King Mackerel, and many other species.
All trips come inclusive with the licenses for you and your party, quality rods, reels, bait, tackle, and ice. You can feel free to bring whatever you want to drink and eat.
We hope to see you on the water soon!

3 HR–Fish/Dolphin Combo - 2nd Trip
Great trip!
We did a 3 hour fishing charter w/ Captain Mike. The fish were reluctant to come out at first but our 2nd spot yielded some good sized spade fish. Our 3rd spot was the highlight of the trip. While fishing for blue fish we had to not only snag the fish but compete against the dolphins to land them. Half Tail made an appearance as well as about 6 other dolphins including a mother and her calf. Being so close to the dolphins was a real treat (we respected the rules and didn't touch/harass them). Would HIGHLY recommend this charter for smaller families who are on a budget but want to have a great experience.

4 Hour – Blue Angels/Fishing Combo
Absolute BLAST!!!
This our first charter trip, we chose the blue angels 4 hour fishing trip. It's the highlight of our trip. Cpt. Mike greated us as if old friends. Went over all the safety information and we headed out. Both my wife and I are novice fishers. He told us the what we would be fishing for and told us exactly how to catch them. Right out of the gate we had bites. Once we got to the area near the show, he told us where to look and the maneuvers they would preform. We had a visitor Halftail the dolphin showed up and stole the show for a bit. After the show we headed out around Ft. Pickens. The dolphins did steal a few fish, but it was all in fun. Once we cought a few fish we started fishing back in different spots along the way back. Again Cpt. Mike knew the spots and my wife landed a very nice 20.5in Spotted trout. He helped her get him in the boat took some pictruand put him on ice. Overall this has been an amazing experience and will definitely be back.

4HR Family Fishing Adventure (2nd)
Great Family Trip
My family of 5 went with Captain Mike on a 4-hour family fishing/dolphin trip. Everyone in our family caught at least a couple of fish but most importantly we all had a great time. We did see dolphins a couple of times, and by the end they were even coming up to the boat and chasing our catches which my kids loved. We were able to keep a sea trout, quite a few spadefish and a couple bluefish. Captain Mike was patient with our kids (12-year-old boy, 9-year-old girl, 7-year-old boy) and answered every question they had...and trust me, they had a LOT of questions! I would highly recommend this trip to anyone with younger children and would even book again if we were in the area.

Captain Mike Is The Best
If you’re looking for an amazing time with a great Captain, take Captain Mike’s 10:30am ride on a Wednesday! Did we see dolphins? Yes…A TON of them! Did we see sharks?! A whole slew of Sharks! Did we catch fish….EIGHT in like less than 2 hours of fishing, we were thrilled! And we went on Wednesday so Captain Mike gave us an extra tour OF THE BLUE ANGELS JETS flying overhead! The whole day was just incredible!

Fantastic fishing and Dolphin watching charter!
Captain Mike was awesome! He took us to three different locations to fish. We caught different varieties of fish in each one. Speckled Sea Trout, Red Fish, Blue Fish and Lady Fish. He was very engaging and instructive especially since we were Nubes at fishing. The boat was just the right size for the three of us (2 adults and a9 year old). We saw a lot of dolphins. Some swam beside our boat and even tried to take the fish we caught! Overall has a great time and were extremely satisfied with the charter. We will definitely do this again!
