Northeast US Highway 19 614
Crystal River, FL, United States

Crystal River is one of the most legendary fisheries in Florida, and when you book with Captain John Beach, you're fishing it at the highest level possible.

Captain Beach isn't just a local guide — he's a proven, media-featured professional who has filmed multiple television episodes with Captain Blair Wiggins of Blair Wiggins Outdoors (formerly Addictive Fishing). These shows have aired on the Discovery Channel and are available to watch on YouTube, showcasing the exact waters, techniques, and species you'll be targeting on your trip. When you step on this boat, you're fishing with a captain trusted by one of the most respected names in the sport.

Your platform is a fully loaded Skeeter SX240 rigged with some of the most advanced technology in the industry: massive 16'' Simrad displays, tower with full second-station controls, 42-mile radar, dual Power-Poles, Power-Pole trolling motor, and high-output lithium battery systems. This is a serious offshore-capable bay boat designed to find fish fast, run safely, and dominate in any conditions.

From trophy snook and bull redfish to trout, grouper, snapper, and more, Captain Beach knows exactly where they live and how to make them eat. Whether sight-fishing crystal-clear flats, working mangrove shorelines, or running open water, every trip is dialed in with precision, skill, and nonstop action.

This isn't a 'hope we catch something' charter. This is a hunt — run by a captain who lives and breathes fishing, fishes year-round, and consistently puts clients on quality fish. First-timers get patient instruction. Experienced anglers get advanced tactics. Everyone gets results.

If you want a true professional experience on a tournament-grade boat, guided by a TV-featured captain who is relentlessly driven to put you on fish, Captain John Beach delivers. One trip is all it takes to see why clients come back again and again.

Great day!
Monster Shark Trip! on February 12, 20262 adults
Although fishing was slow we caught about 5 species. Capt Beech was great! Very attentive to my novice wife, while letting me do my own thing. Great conversation, and he didn't seem to mind answering my 1.2 million questions about his gear, fish, birds etc. we got a local history guide too! We learned a lot and had a great time! I definitely recommend!

Captain John was very responsive upon booking a last minute charter. He was able to accommodate my family even with inclement weather. We all had a fantastic trip and each caught something. Captain John was very knowledgeable of the area and willing to answer any questions we had. We will definitely book again with John next time we visit.
