Capt Alek is absolutely amazing!  He got us hooked on some kingfish and some other species right away.  It was literally one after the other.  There was NO downtime because he had us reeling in fish after fish the entire time.  Then he got us on some Blackfin Tuna.  it was definitely challenging but he was able to guide us through.  Even bagged a beuatiful Mahi.  Capt Alek is the best.  If we ever come to Miami to fish again, there is no doubt who we will book to fish with.

We had an absolute blast with Captain Alek! He’s laid back, fun, and truly wants you to catch fish. He took us to the perfect spot where we reeled in blackfin tuna along with 10+ other tuna—nonstop action! The best part was how hands-on he was: Captain would bait the hook, I’d cast and catch, and before I even turned around, he already had another rod ready for me. Jordan even landed a massive champion blackfin tuna that had Captain just as excited as we were!

From start to finish, it was an unforgettable experience. Even if the fishing hadn’t been as lucky, I know Captain Alek would’ve made sure we had a great time. He did not disappoint, and we’ll definitely be booking with him again—no question about it. Highly recommend to anyone looking for the best charter in Miami. We won’t be using anyone else!

We had an absolutely fantastic time on the 4-hour snapper trip with Bear Cut Bandit, and I can’t say enough great things about Captain Alex. We brought our son along for his first real fishing experience, and it couldn’t have gone better.

From the moment we stepped on the boat, Captain Alex was incredibly well-prepared, professional, and welcoming. You can tell immediately that he’s not only highly experienced and knowledgeable about the waters and fishing techniques, but also truly enjoys what he does. He was patient, answered all of our questions (We had a lot) and made sure everyone felt comfortable and involved throughout the trip.

We had some amazing family time—caught some snapper, learned a lot, left with some great fish, amazing memories, and a pretty decent tan. Captain Alex was especially kind and encouraging with our son (he was very nervous), taking the time to show him the ropes and make sure he was having fun.

If you’re looking for a great family-friendly fishing trip with a captain who knows his stuff and treats his guests like friends, Bear Cut Bandit with Captain Alex is the way to go. We’ll definitely be booking again!

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!

This was our first time open water fishing with our kids and Captain Alek made the experience a 10/10. We had small children (8yrs-2yrs) and Alek was patient, understanding, flexible, and went above and beyond to make sure that our family’s experience was safe and fun.

He is so knowledgeable about technique, the best spots, tides, and the habits of different species — it’s clear that this is a deep passion of his and anyone, families especially, are in great hands on his charter.

We will definitely be back!
