Captain Phil did a great job with our bachelor party. Caught fish all day and went home with a cooler full of fillets. Highly recommend booking a trip with this skilled captain.

Thank you Christian. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! It was great spending the day on the water with you guys, and finding out you fished in my old stomping grounds on the Long Island Sound. What a small world!

Wayne, you guys rocked it today ... no pun intended. Waves were rocking. As the saying goes, “Go Big or Go Home.” Red Grouper over 27” in between catching a few sharks. We truly enjoyed seeing all of you catch the different species of fish and take them back with you to enjoy. We look forward to taking you out again. - Captain Phil

He put us on quite a few great schools of fish, we caught some keepers. Unfortunately the look was not completely with us because we did not get any keeper red grouper. Had a fantastic time and caught a lot of fish! Great captain, great knowledge, and a great experience!

My son and I went on a six hour trip with Capt Phillip and first mate George. They are both very knowledgeable and kind. The seas were choppy but they still managed to get us on fish. We had a gret time.

Captain Phil and First Mate George were incredible. It was the first time for my boys charter fishing and we certainly picked the right one for them! Capatain Phil and George got us right into the fish. We caught a ton of fish and and had so much fun doing it. These guys are great and so knowledgeable and passionate about their trade. We couldn’t be happier and plan to set up another when we are down in Clearwater again. We are very grateful we chose Real Life Charters! Some photos of a few... More

Anthony, you and your family didn’t waste time getting busy catching fish, especially Shara! Hands down she gave the rest of the guys a run for their money. It’s was a honor to take you all out offshore on our beautiful Gulf Coast Waters. Glad you were able to enjoy catching different species and have a great dinner together to enjoy. Have a safe trip home and George and I are looking forward to seeing and taking you all out again. -Captain Phil
