Captain Brett

4 Hour Inshore/Nearshore Trip (PM)6 adults4 children

We did not no what to expect, had never hired a fishing guide before as this was our first saltwater fishing experience. There were 6 of us including 4 children from 7 to 17 years of age. A handful for one guy when all of us had never used deep sea gear. Nonetheless we were put on fish quickly and had a very successful outing. Brett had to work like a mule to keep all of our lines working, but he did so expertly. We were successful and caught a good batch of vermillion snapper. He's a good hire if you have kids. He has children of his own. He will make the trip safe and fun for them. What most of these reviews won't tell you about a person is how hard they really work. Alot of us believe fishing for a living would be a dream job and perhaps it is. But this guy works more than most could imagine to provide for his family. Long hot hours on the ocean, alot behind the scenes before and after your outing, trying to give families like mine a good experience they wouldnt have the means to do on their own. When we make it back to pensacola, without question we will fish with Brett again.

    “Epic Offshore Adventure with a Pro Captain!”

    6 Hour Offshore Trip - 1:00 PM3 adults

    Had an unforgettable day with Brett at Bout Time Charters! From the start, he kept us updated on weather and sea conditions and made sure everyone felt comfortable—even if you’re new to offshore fishing. Once we headed 18 miles out, the action didn’t stop: we hit our limit of Vermilion Snapper and even caught several other species. Brett’s experience, professionalism, and easygoing personality made the whole trip smooth, fun, and stress-free. If you want a top-notch fishing adventure in Pensacola with a seasoned captain who genuinely cares about your experience, Brett is the one to book!

    That's a Big Fish!

    6 Hour Offshore Trip5 adults2 children

    Captain Brett was great to work with! With a family of 5, I wasn't sure what type of trip would be best. He answered my many questions before the trip and checked in with me before the trip. We did a 6 hr trip and spent time both near shore catching Spanish Mackerel and then went off shore to catch Vermillion Snapper and Amberjack. What an amazing trip! Captain Brett was great with the kids and attentive to what we wanted to do. I would recommend him to anyone! We drove an hour to charter with him and would gladly do it again! Thanks for a great trip!

    Best Captain!!

    4 hour offshore pm5 adults

    We had such a great time on our fishing trip. Brett made us feel welcome right away, and his energy set the tone for the whole day. He knew exactly where to take us, and we were reeling in fish almost immediately. It wasn’t just about the catch — it was the laughs, the conversations, and the feeling of being taken care of by a Captain who truly loves what he does. It’s the kind of experience you talk about long after you’re back on land.

    Great Trip with a Great Captain

    8 Hour MEAT HAUL Offshore Trip2 adults

    We had a awesome time with Captain Brett and Bout Time Charters. Captain Brett had a geat plan for our trip, but due to rough sea conditions we were not able to do it. He had another plan and we caught fish all day long, limiting out on red snapper and vermillions with some other bonus catches to go along. Captain had a geat attitude and was prepared for whatever needed to be done. I highly recommend. We cant wait to go again.

    Great trip for families!

    6 Hour Offshore Trip - 1:00 PM6 adults1 child

    This was the first time we went offshore fishing. We had 3 teenage boys and a preteen girl. Captain Brett was amazing! Worked hard to give everyone the experience of reeling in a massive fish! Our daughter even wanted to catch a shark and he tried very hard to get her one. He had a lot of patience and extremely knowledgeable! Definitely recommend him for your fishing trip!
