Captain Jeff made this a great experience for me and my son. Our first time fishing in the area and he took us to several spots and made sure our lines always had bait. We caught a variety of fish. Unfortunately only one of them was big enough to keep and good to eat, but that was all my son needed. Captain Jeff filleted the fish at the dock, put it on ice, and directed us to a nearby restaurant that would prepare it for us. 20 minutes from water to plate, you can’t beat it! My son was thrilled to eat his catch, prepared exactly how he wanted it.

Fished a half day with Captain Jeff and couldn’t have had a better inshore experience. 

He worked hard to ensure we had the best chance of catching, he had spots in mind and if we didn’t have action we moved on. The work paid off with oversized snook and a red!  Professional service, clean boat and good gear.  Jeff reached out ahead of time to make sure we knew where to meet him - everything was easy and Jeff made it a great experience. 

Strongly recommend if you’re in the area and want to fish for inshore game like snook or redfish.

First time salt water fishing. Jeff was on time and ready to go! He showed us how to bait and cast. It’s very cold down here now, so he warned us fish might take some time. He took us to a couple spots and we finally caught some fish! Not big enough to eat, but the kids loved it! We tried to catch some big fish, but didn’t have luck. Jeff worked hard and tried and tried, but its nature and it wasn’t cooperating. We had a great time and will definitely use again!

5 Stars all the way!  Our family of 4 (boys ages 16 & 13) had a great time fishing with Captain Jeff of Leisure Life Charters.  This was our family’s first charter fishing trip, we are not experienced fishers, but Jeff was a great teacher and it was an awesome experience for all of us.  His boat and gear were clean and top notch.  Jeff was ready and waiting for us on the dock prepared with spots already picked for us to try. He had us catching fish as soon as we dropped our lines and kept us busy the entire trip.  We enjoyed not having to bait our hooks or take fish off the hooks.  If the fishing slowed at one spot he’d move us to another.  Jeff is very knowledgeable about the area and fishing in general.  He is very personable, we had great conversations the entire time. If we are back in St. Pete again we will definitely use Leisure Life Charters. If you want to have a great time on the water, book with Leisure Life Charters, we highly recommend it, you will not be disappointed!!

I have so many great memories fishing with my Dad while growing up.  These were memories I wanted to pass on to my 3 sons.  I was recommended to Captain Jeff Gibson by friends that use him every time they go to Florida.  I’ve Chartered a lot of fishing boats for myself and kids but I have to say not many Captains took as much of an interest in making sure it was an enjoyable experience as he did.  He helped create a memory for my son and 11 year Grandson who went to Florida this week which is priceless.  Thank you Captain Jeff, we will be back to create another memory in the future.  Jackie
