Profile photo of Captain Experiences guide Alex
I have been fishing for over 20 years competitively and professionally. I obtained a degree from Auburn University in Fisheries Management with an emphasis in sport fish management. Fishing is more than a profession for me, it’s become my life and life is good. I am blessed to call the Emerald Coast my home and I can’t wait to share all that our waters have to offer!

How did you get started guiding?
My wife and I moved to the area after I graduated college and she encouraged me to chase what I have always been passionate about. I started on head boats and transitioned to private sport fishing charters. Once I had my captains license I started running charters for a great business owner and God blessed me with the opportunity to run my own charter.

Verified Review Fishing

My buddy and I had an awesome time! Captain Alex is a super great dude. He put us on some great fish and we limited out. Definitely going to be coming back to him next time we’re in Destin. One of the best charter experiences I’ve had.

Response from Alex:

Thank you Cole, I had a blast with your guys and I am excited to take you out again next time you’re in town.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is the home of over 1500 Damn Good fishing and hunting guides. Our mission is to unlock the outdoors for everyone, and we want to help you get out there through our no-hassle online booking experience and our team of outdoors experts.
We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.
Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.
Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
