Hello, I'm Captain Alex, a native of Destin, Florida. My journey with fishing began at the age of 12 when I first started working on boats, including the Silver King. After spending some time as a mate on another charter in Venice, Louisiana for three years, I returned to Destin. Upon my return, I earned my Captain's License and began piloting the Silver King under its previous owner. Nearly eight years later, at 27, I purchased the boat and embarked on the adventure of running my own charter business—a true dream come true!

Fishing is not just a job for me; it’s a passion I live every day. When you join me on a trip, you can be sure I’m just as eager to catch fish as you are. I put my all into making your time on the water unforgettable and filled with excitement. My experience spans a variety of trip lengths, from 4 to 8 hours. Trips lasting 4 to 5 hours are perfect for beginners or families with young children, offering plenty of fishing action without becoming overwhelming. The 6-hour trips are the most popular, allowing us to enjoy both trolling and bottom fishing. For those looking to bring home an ample catch, the 7 to 8 hour excursions give us extra time to maximize the haul!

All fishing gear—rods, reels, and tackle—are provided, and I will filet all your catch right at the dock so you can take it home ready to enjoy. Just remember to bring sunscreen and any snacks or drinks you prefer. Book a trip with me and let’s create some lasting memories out on the water with your family!

Here’s what some of my guests have shared about their experiences:

Five-star guide! A fantastic experience where Captain Alex made sure we caught plenty of fish. He’s incredibly skilled and genuinely cares about providing a great trip for everyone. We were quickly put on fish and had a blast. I took my 10-year-old along, and Alex was wonderful with all of us, ensuring we had a memorable day. If we're back in Destin, we'll definitely book again!

Our first deep sea fishing adventure was a hit, thanks to Captain Alex’s friendly and knowledgeable approach. He focuses on your experience and works hard to make every trip a success. My 11-year-old son and I had so much fun and can’t wait to go back!

Amazing day on the water! Captain Alex kept us catching fish throughout the trip and was highly recommended. We look forward to summer fishing soon.

What a fantastic time with Captain Alex! I met his mom and grandmother, and I’m bringing friends next time to share the experience. Alex is simply the best and great with younger anglers as well.

Despite a rainy week in Florida, Captain Alex made room for us and knew all the best spots. While others struggled, we caught our limit and even spent a fantastic hour shark fishing, catching two! He’s laid-back, safety-conscious, and accommodates everyone’s needs. We'll be back for sure!

We enjoyed a perfect fishing day with Captain Alex—the weather was beautiful, the fishing excellent, and lunch featuring freshly caught mingo was delicious! As experienced fishermen from the Texas Gulf Coast and Laguna Madre, I can confidently recommend Captain Alex and the Silver King for a top-notch fishing experience.
