excellent captain, very enjoyable trip.

Half Day – Inshore/Nearshore3 adults

weather had been bad for a few days, we toughed it out and Captain Phil still put us on fish while other Boats were reporting none. Phil was a great guy to associate and fish with. I would highly recommend him for a charter captain to anyone, he knows what's going on and is very attentive to his customers. thanks again Phil we had a great time!

    Awesome day!

    Half Day – Inshore/Nearshore6 adults3 children

    Captain Phil brought my family and I out which included my 9, 7, and 5 year old boys and man did we have a great time! The bite was constant all morning and we caught atleast 10 different kinds of fish and were able to keep a limit of Mangrove Snapper that Capt. Phil fileted up for us. He was extremely patient and answered all the questions my boys had. I don’t think he had a chance to catch his breath while he was jumping around the boat baiting hooks and taking off fish (and a bird, aka a “demon turkey” according to my boys 😂) for 4 hours straight! When we made it back to the Clearwater area we’ll be booking with Capt. Phil without a doubt!

    Great Day with Captain Phil - Suncoast Expeditions

    Half Day – Inshore/Nearshore2 adults

    Had an awesome day out with Suncoast Expeditions and Capt. Phil. We hit both the Gulf and the Intracoastal and caught fish at every single stop — Redfish, Sheepshead, Sea Bass, Mangrove Snapper, and Grunts. Capt. Phil was an excellent guide and had everything covered: all the gear, all the bait, taking the fish off the hooks, and keeping all the good eaters for us that met size requirements. Such a fun, easygoing trip. I definitely recommend booking with Capt. Phil and Suncoast Expeditions. Already looking forward to the next one.

    Amazing time with Capt. Phil

    Half Day – Inshore/Nearshore2 adults

    Our time on the water with Capt. Phil was amazing! Father and son trip with my 13yo for a 4hr morning session. We caught tons of fish of a variety of species and had some great conversation with Capt Phil as well. We came down to FL to catch fish and man did we ever! Would highly recommend, and we will be repeat customers! 🎣

    Rainy and Fun!

    Half Day – Inshore/Nearshore - 1:00 PM2 adults

    My son and I had a blast and Capt Phil was great! It rained almost the whole time, and the Capt gave us a heads up on the weather before we left the dock and gave us the option to do it some other time, but my son and I were fine with it. A little rain cant get in the way of fishin’. So yeah, We got soaked and caught a bunch of fish too! Truly, it was a great experience. We will def be going out with Capt Phil again in the Spring!
