Head out for a full day, 12-hour adventure with Captains Justin and Justin to run far offshore and get after Swordfish—one of the hardest-fighting fish in the Gulf! On this trip, you'll be heading 60+ miles offshore, trolling for lightning-fast gamefish such as King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, swordfish, marlin, Wahoo, and Blackfin Tuna. Once you reach the best fishing grounds, you'll drop your lines much deeper to attract Swordfish, which migrate at great depths, hunting for squid, baitfish, ballyhoo, and more. These fish are hungry, and when they hit your line, you'll feel it! Bring your A-game on this trip, because the Swords will really test your strength, skill, and stamina. You'll be getting some serious fishing done aboard their 33' Contender center console. She's powered by twin Suzuki 300-HP engines, so you'll cruise offshore with some serious speed. This well-equipped vessel comes with all the necessities, including GPS, Fishfinder, a Live Bait Well, and an Ice Box to store your catches. This boat also has a comfortable cabin area so that you can relax in the shade between hook-ups. Captain Justin will provide top-of-the-line rods, reels, tackle, and fishing licenses. All you need to bring is sunglasses, sunscreen, a lunch, and any snacks or drinks you'd like to enjoy while onboard. Read More

    Weren't able to make it offshore do to windy conditions and rough seas. Fished in the Bay instead.

    Jake was a great Captain for our Inshore Fishing Trip. He worked really hard and was very respectful and did all he could to help us take some fish home. The conditions weren't perfect, but that's fishing. I would recommend Jake to anyone looking for a family fishing trip inshore.

    Blake M. with Jake D. of Pensacola, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Jacob and Ryan where great to us on the boat. Really helped use catch everything we could. They went above and beyond to change up bait and move to better spots so we could catch fish. Would definitely do it again

    This was my daughter's and my first offshore fishing trip, and we couldn't have asked for a better one. Captain Tim was incredible, got us on some great fish, and made the morning completely enjoyable. We went home with a lot of meat he cleaned up for us and created some wonderful memories. If you're looking for an amazing experience and a cooler full of fish to take home, Captain Tim is your guy!

    rodney C. with Tim K. of Pensacola, Florida

    Captain Jake was awesome!!! Put us on the fish and was extremely knowledgeable about the fish, gear and the whole charter process. I would highly recommend his service to anyone wanting to catch multiple species of fish. I would definitely go again next time we are in Pensacola Florida!!!!!!

    Ronald J. with Jake D. of Pensacola, Florida

    Captain James was awesome. Very knowledgeable and took us out to several different locations to help us try to find the best spots. I would highly recommend Captain Experiences for deep sea fishing.

    Amy K. with James C. of Pensacola, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great trip. My son caught his first fish and the first and biggest fish from our boat that day.

    David D. with Jake D. of Pensacola, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    We booked a 6 hr deep sea charter for my son and his friend the Friday before the Blue Angels air show. I can't compliment Matt and Jacob enough because everything was awesome! Not only did they catch some fish, but the boys said everything about the trip was very fun. Jacob cleaned and packaged the fish on the way back so kept it on ice to take home. One thing that is always important to me when dealing with any business is communication. From the very beginning, Jacob and Matt were in constant communication with me and was extremely accommodating and easy to work with. We will definitely book another trip with them next year. Highly recommend you do the same!

    It’s was good but got rained out. Didn’t get to fish much at all. Can’t really put a star rating on trip because of weather but I really like our captain

    James R. with James C. of Pensacola, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Craig and Spencer were great. Both were very personable and knowledgeable, not just about the ocean and fishing but the surrounding area. As we were heading out, Spencer told us about the history of area/fort and even gave us suggestions for things to do in the area. Craig knew exactly where to go to hit the hot spots for fishing. They made the trip so much fun (even when I was feeling puny). We caught tons of fish. If you’re looking for a good time with great people who know a ton, these are the guys to book with. I just can’t say enough good things about these two. Definitely 5 stars!

    Stephanie D. with Craig M. of Pensacola, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Overall the trip was as expected. The whole party had a GREAT time. Fishing experience was frustrating for sure. Fish did not want to play and when they did the dolphins had some easy snacks. One issue we had was we were never advised where the life jackets/floatation devices were located. There were times when the captain would reposition, frustrated, and the deck was not ready for the move. The deckhand worked his butt off and his efforts were appreciated. Would definitely try this trip again.

    Marshall C. with Jake D. of Pensacola, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Jacob done a great job. Put us on the fish. The bite was tough, and we still caught fish. Good people. Would book with them again. Knowledgeable and experienced. We all had a great time! Can’t wait to do it again!

    Jamie G. with Jacob M. of Pensacola, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Jake put us right on the fish and we caught them until we were too exhausted to reel anymore in. We will definitely fish with him next time!

    Ginger E. with Jake D. of Pensacola, Florida

    Had a blast with captain Rick and his deck hand !

    Aaron O. with Rick D. of Pensacola, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    If you want to catch fish go to capt Rick plain and simple. He put us on fish left and right. We came for red snapper but cap wasn't just gonna let us catch snapper. We limited out on snapper with in the first hour. Then he got us hooked up on Mingo, whitey, Mai Mahi, goggle eye. We had more fish then we know what to do with. Great charter, great captain and deck hand.

    Michael R. with Rick D. of Pensacola, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    This fishing trip was the best I have ever had! Jake’s knowledge of the area was amazing! We got our Red Snapper limit in the first 20 minutes!! I have never caught so many fish in a short amount of time. If there wasn’t a limit we could have filled his entire boat.

    Scott W. with Jake D. of Pensacola, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Jacob is awesome! Had such a great time fishing and would definitely recommend using Captain Jacob for your fishing charter needs. We had a great day on the water and everything was taken care of by the captain and 1st mate.

    Tyson T. with Jacob M. of Pensacola, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Definitely had a great experience Jake and his deck hand were very friendly and accommodating I had a party of 6. We caught a lot of fish all of my kids were super happy. I’ve been on fishing trips before where I felt like they were trying to rush you in and out. Definitely did not feel that way with these guys. 100% will use them again.
