    We had a fantastic experience with Captain John! He took my two oldest sons and my husband fishing, and they absolutely loved it. They caught plenty of fish and even brought home dinner! Everyone had an amazing time. We highly recommend Captain John and plan to book him again next year if he’s available. Thank you!

    We had a nice half-day trip for the four of us & caught quite a few fish! We ended up keeping 13 fish and had a nice dinner that night with leftovers for later! John did a good job helping us & taking us to find fish. We even had to avoid a few 🐬 dolphins who were competing for the catch!

    We came down to Captiva with two families. The other dad and I, along with our three boys, all under 10, had a great experience with Captain John! It was hot, which may have hurt us a little in our fishing, but we still caught a lot of sea trout, some catfish, some snapper and grouper, and Captain John was great in conversation and in patience with our young sons. Would definitely recommend!
