Pensacola Beach Gulf Pier is the pinnacle of Pensacola. If you want the real Gulf Coast experience,…read morethis is the spot. The pier stretches about 1,471 feet out into the Gulf, and the water is so clear you can see straight down like you're looking through glass. Schools of fish cruise by, anglers line the rails pulling up mackerel and pompano, and every once in a while you'll see something bigger glide through the blue. I've seen rays, sharks, and more fish than I could count swimming right below my feet. It feels like standing above a living aquarium. The original pier here dates back to the 1930s, but the modern one was rebuilt stronger in 1998 after storms took the earlier versions. Today it draws hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, and it's easy to see why. The beach is bright white, the water is emerald green, and the whole place has that laid-back Gulf magic. Walk the boards, feel the breeze, Watch the Gulf roll with ease, Fish below and sky above, Simple place you can't help but love. For me, this pier wasn't just a stop it was the highlight of the whole trip.

I really hate to write this review because I've chartered a few times with Hot Spots over the past…read morefew years but today, I encountered one of the rudest guys and was really blown away by his attitude. I had a 6 hour private charter scheduled for me and my son for the 28th of this month. We come down for the PG World Series each year and close out our ball games with a fishing trip so as a mom, I plan ahead and booked this trip about a month or so ago. Because of all the rain forecasted, we decided to cancel this charter and take a trip to Tamarindo in July. I called to cancel the charter today, 9 days in advance and the guy laughed numerous times and said "that's 10 days away, but ok." I let him know I was well aware of the timeline and that we didn't want to take a chance on the rain. The possibility of storms was part of the reason but I also decided to just take a trip to Tamarindo and fish instead. The trip to Costa rica is 5 days and only $1700 more and we get a 10 hour fishing day so I thought it would be a cool experience for my son since he's already gone out with Hot Spots several times, this would be a little different. This review is based solely on the poor & rude service of the kid I spoke to today. I have had great experiences in the past but they were with Cash & Jason.

Our tour ended up being moved to an earlier time the day before. I did receive a couple of different text messages about the start time, which caused a little confusion on my end, but the crew communicated well and kindly waited for us before departing. The address synced perfectly with the gps to the exact departure location. Parking was free and available immediately by the dock area, but notes this will likely not be the case during peak tourist season. The tour itself was lovely. We had beautiful weather, and the crew was attentive and knowledgeable, sharing interesting history and stories about the bay throughout the ride. We saw dolphins and were able to capture plenty of videos and photos. This would be an especially beautiful tour to take in the evening to enjoy the sunset.

Captain Buddy made my trip! First of all I have to tell you…read moreI was with a large group of people and I am deathly allergic to all seafood. I can't touch the bait, so he made sure I had someone there to bait and remove my fish. Then all of a sudden, I felt really sick, Captain Buddy let me sit with him and watch the dolphins from the control center. Oh and about safety, they take it seriously. This is not a party boat and more appropriately suited for corporate or families. We caught a lot of fish.

This is a nice boat, and the fun ends there. We chartered this boat for an afternoon fishing…read moretrip. 4 adults , two preteen boys and a 12 year old boy with autism who absolutely loves everything about boats. The captain get your money and then has the conversation with you or as he may call "instructions and rules". During this three minute tutorial he explains to you that it's his job to drive the boat. Any attempt at conversation may distract him from getting us the fish. He introduces the deck hand and basically says the same about him. Not that it matters because the captain is a typical salesman and he has already closed the deal (he has his money) he has no interest in us. The deckhand has the personality of a serial killer. They pull out poor excuses for rods and basically explain that it's idiot proof and it is. Don't cast your line just drop it over board and then real it in when something bites at the bait. We will start by catching bait fish and then move up (this never happened). The deck hand is casting away for bigger fish but we just get to watch. I saw the writing on the wall and chose not to fish at all. I spent my time (5 hours) with the preteen with autism entertaining him in the cabin (AC works very very poorly). It was a huge disappointment because the captain nor the deckhand ever tried to interact with him and make his day special. Sorry human beings if you ask me! Anyway, over the course of two hours we caught about 9 red snapper. Finally they said it was time to head in, and the two preteen boys went into the cabin with the boy with autism (who literally stayed in the cabin the entire trip), so that gave me the opportunity to enjoy the ride home as the sunset. Nope, the deckhand spent the entire time cleaning that area (all the way back) with chemicals and such as if we had just landed a freaking whale or something. I was an invited guest on this trip, and I am thankful to have been invited. The fee was paid by the guest who invited me and he covered the entire expense for all of us. Thank god he is a gentleman because had this pricey adventure been coming out of my pocket I would have been pissed! Of course the captain and his deckhand gladly accepted a tip, for what I don't know. I've been fishing offshore a couple of times, and each time we had a blast! This was a joke, a very very expensive joke. I wouldn't do it again with these guys even if it was free. After the way they ignored the kid with autism ((they had a real opportunity to make that kids year)) I wouldn't stop and help either of them if they had a flat on the side of the road. I try hard not to give 1* reviews.... but this is exactly what this crew deserves. Rude, arrogant out of touch people only concerned with themselves. I mean... you guys cater to people on vacation? You really think people hand you thousands of dollars to inhale chemicals while you clean your boat?
