Our fishing trip with Captain Ashley was the absolute BEST!! I have an 11y/r son with special needs and I wasn’t sure how he would respond to his first time fishing. Captain Mike (during our original call) and then Captain Ashley (on the day of the trip) were very open to hearing about his needs and allowed us to structure the trip according to our family’s needs. It was the first time fishing for both of our children (9,11) and they had an amazing time. I didn’t think they would last all 4hrs but they did -effortlessly- and it’s a true testament to how well Captain Ashley helped us structure the trip. Despite having to throw back several fish, we still had enough to feed us dinner for two days!! We were also able to catch a few dolphin sightings. I wholeheartedly recommend Coastal Life Charters & Adventures–Pensacola!!!

This was our first Florida fishing excursion ever, and we were thrilled just to step onto the boat. However, Captain Ashley truly made our experience one of a lifetime that we’ll never forget & look back fondly often. She worked hard to make sure we caught fish AND saw dolphins, although my husband was really there for the fish. She truly takes pride in her work & wants you to enjoy your trip & catch as many fish as possible. We can’t say enough great things about Captain Ashley. Go out on this fishing trip with her - you’ll have a wonderful time! Thank you for everything, Ashley! Randy & Teri from Ft. Worth, TX

Mike was fantastic with our kids!  Both caught fish today.  Neither had ever fished and our son is autistic.  He caught the most and the biggest fish of the day. 
They both want to come back to the gulf and fish again.

Captain made sure we met earlier to have the best experience. Had three younger children and he made sure they were all on fish and knew how to catch them.  He was super polite knowledgeable and kind. I wish I would have booked a longer trip because it was that amazing. I highly recommend if your looking for a fun time and want to catch fish go with him.
