Amazing day at sea!
5 Hour Trip – Near/Offshore (AM) on June 2, 2025
Captain John was amazing! He was kind, informative, patient, and always right there ready to bait your hook and remove your catch! We have a son with special needs and Captain John was so good with him! He answered all our questions. He showed us dolphins and we saw a sea turtle and sharks! We also caught a ton of different types of fish. We had an incredible time!! We can wait to book our trip with Captain John next year!

Awesome Trip
3 hour Shark Trip Afternoon on August 9, 2024
Captain John was the best! He took 5 of us (myself, my wife, and 3 teens) out for an awesome adventure at sea. We had the first shark on a line within 5 minutes. We reeled in a bonnethead and 2 blacknose in less than 3 hours. He was a great guide and kept us entertained the whole trip. This will definitely be a return trip for us and we can’t wait for the next time!

Your captain
Port Orange, Florida, United States
I started fishing as soon as I could hold a rod and reel. I began fishing at Kyp's Fish Camp on Lake Beresford in DeLand, FL. Then, I quickly started fishing off the beaches and piers in saltwater. Once I got a taste of the big bluewater fish as a kid, I was hooked. I love the water, it's very relaxing and easy to clear your head with the fresh scent of saltwater.
