Captain Eddie and Lively One II
Eddie describes himself as a Pensacola native with more than 35 years fishing local waters and the Gulf. His stated focus includes nearshore artificial reefs and natural reefs in deeper offshore water.
Lively One II is listed as a 55-foot custom fiberglass boat with room for up to 25 anglers and air-conditioned spaces. Ask about seating, restrooms, boarding assistance and how many people fish at once if those details affect your group's plans.
Fishing options
The private-trip menu lists six, eight, ten, 12 and 36 hours. Its standard pricing category is for ten anglers or fewer, with larger groups asked to call. Walk-on choices are listed at six and eight hours; their availability depends on the operator's schedule.
The website mentions snapper, grouper, amberjack, triggerfish, scamp and other reef fish, along with offshore species such as wahoo, marlin, tuna and mahi-mahi. These refer to different possible fishing experiences across the menu. Ask Captain Eddie which targets fit your chosen duration and date.
Getting a quote
The reviewed page does not show current dollar prices. It notes that rates can vary with fuel costs and directs larger private groups to call. Supply the passenger count, preferred hours and whether you want private or walk-on fishing when requesting availability.
Confirm the complete inclusions list—equipment, bait, fishing-license coverage, ice, cleaning and crew gratuity—as well as the deposit and cancellation rules. For a 36-hour trip, ask specifically about sleeping places, food, luggage and the weather plan.
Departure and other services
The published address is 655 Pensacola Beach Boulevard. Obtain the slip, arrival time and parking instructions directly. A shared departure may have different check-in requirements from a private charter, so use the confirmation for the trip you booked.
Dolphin and specialty cruises are also advertised. If your group includes people primarily interested in sightseeing, discuss whether a separate cruise or a fishing charter best matches the occasion rather than assuming a fishing trip includes a dedicated wildlife tour.
Details checked September 26, 2026, using the operator’s published information. Rates, boats, meeting points and policies can change; confirm the final trip details directly. Listed species describe possible targets, not a guaranteed catch or an open harvest season.
