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!

Captain Mike was Top Notch! - 2 hour in shore
2 Hour Trip – Inshore Fishing PM on May 31, 2024
My family of 4 (including a 13 yo and 4 yo) met up with Mike from a very neat, clean dock at 7am. We were there right at 7 and he was there, sitting on the dock waiting for us. We got right onto the boat, while heading to our first stop, he gave us a rundown of what we were catching (sound side = red fish and speckled trout) and how to catch different ones. He put the bait on the hooks (thankfully) and casted for a you. My husband has fishing knowledge so he casted on his own. We boated around to several spots (maybe 8) which was great. If the fish weren’t biting, we moved on. You never felt like you were wasting your time. He was so nice, professional yet casual, and easy to have a convo with. He wasn’t overbearing or critical (because lets be real, sometimes a seasoned expert in anything could easily be someone who wants you to know they know everything and you don’t). I kept getting tangled up with others (according to my husband, thats on me, lol) and Captain Mike didn’t get mad that I was awful and instead nicknamed me “the tangler”. We caught 5 fishies. Would definitely recommend Captain Mike to others and if they weren’t so long, I’d go on a deep sea trip with him too.

Birthday charter
3 Hour–Fish/Dolphin Combo 930AM on November 26, 2024
We took my son with autism on a fishing charter today for his 14th birthday. I was worried he may get out in the ocean and have a meltdown. Captain Mike was absolutely amazing with him. He was so patient with him and accommodated our lack of fishing skills. He went out of his way to make the day special for him. He talked about how much fun he had the whole 4 hour ride home. Thank you Captain Mike. We will be back!

Dolphins and Fishing - best of both worlds!!
3 Hour - Fish/Dolphin Combo Summer on May 22, 2024
My husband and I traveled in from out of town made this reservation months in advance. Our captain reached out to us a few days before to introduce himself and to let us know where to meet him and then checked in on us early that morning to make sure that we were still coming. Mike was awesome, he was so fun. Husband caught fish. I got to see dolphins. Both of us were tickled. The trip was amazing and would definitely recommend booking!!!

Very attentive to the young anglers in our group!
4HR Family Fishing Adventure AM on March 27, 2025
We had a great time and caught fish! Captain Michael was very attentive to all anglers in our group, but especially with our young anglers teaching them how to fish. Helpful with baiting, aware of line tangles, and very helpful overall. Our 11 year old caught the biggest fish!
