Captain Alek was excellent.

4 Hour Trip (AM) on December 27, 2024

Captain Alek took my 3 grandchildren, ages 5, 7 and 12 along with my son, son-in-law and myself on a 4 hour fishing trip. His communication was very prompt and explicit each time I emailed him. Captain Alek was prepared for us when we arrived at 7 a.m. He was friendly, courteous and lots of fun on the trip. He is very knowledgeable and was patient with us as we were anxious to catch fish. And best of all we ALL caught fish! When I asked my grandchildren what I should write in this review they all said “It was the best! Captain Alek was so nice.” They added, “He’s a 10 out of 10!”

4 Hour Trip (PM) on September 7, 2024

First thing is, captain Alek is great. I booked this for 'part of my boys bachelor party weekend. He makes your whole party feel welcomed right away. He's very fun and knows how to catch fish. His boat is great all my friends loved it. He let's you link into the bluetooth stereo on the boat so you're having a party while finishing. We are not fishermen by no way but captain Alek put us on fish immediately. To sum this up, if you're thinking about going on a fishing excursion do this one, you won't regret it. BTW we caught some nice fish and he cleaned and prepared it so my guys could go cook it once we got back.

8 Hour Trip (PM) on August 19, 2024

Alek delivered!! We were on fish from the first cast and it lasted all day catching many tuna, and a variety of snappers, including a bonus barracuda boat side. The trip was beyond fun and exciting for our first time offshore fishing as a family, lived up to our expectations. To top off the trip some fresh sashimi prepared from the days catch. Alek takes a ton of pride in his equipment, guest experience and in the preparation of the catch for the guests to enjoy at home. We were in town to end a family cruise which we got off of earlier than expected, captain alek communicated extremely well and in fact we got on the water earlier than scheduled to get on a better bite and avoid some weather in the evening. Thank you captain alek we will be back again.

8 Hour Trip (AM) on August 14, 2024

Thank you so much for the beautiful day of fishing. It was such a wonderful experience for my 82 year old mother in law that throughly enjoyed herself. We ALL had an amazing time on your boat. You worked very hard to make sure our poles were always in the water with bait. Your knowledge of all the different species of fish, and the specific expertise of the area you give your tours. You make all your guest constantly comfortable while you are running everything. Checking on everyone to make sure they are hydrated and cool downed. The fish we caught that day and the quantity made it a charter that we definitely need to come back to Captain Alek. The shark was something I will never forget and it was huge!! Alek’s expertise at what he does, customer service that he goes above to make sure his guests get the best out of their fishing experience. I can go on about so many things that were great about the charter. I am so glad I found Captain Alek by researching on the internet, and ofcourse more important the 5 star reviews he deserves.

4 Hour Trip (AM) on August 27, 2024

Bearcut Bandit Charters took me out my first time to go fishing off the coast. Cpt Alek Fig communicates very well, is a Miami native and has a lifetime of experience on the water. He shows you where to sit, and how to fish. I loved getting away from the city. We caught 14 yellowtail snapper. They put up a fight so be sure you have upper body strength. If you don't reel in fast enough predator fish will take your fish. Overall, I had an enjoyable experience. Alek even made sashimi right there on the boat when we got back. Does not get any better than that.
