Full day meat trip
on May 25, 2025

Captain Theo at Johnny Quest shows up early, runs a safe, efficient boat, puts you on the fish, and gets you safely home. What more could you ask for? Captain Theo has taken my family fishing multiple times since we moved to Virginia Beach. He's my first choice for a day on the water and always finds a way to fill the freezer with fish. Clean, well-provisioned boats and friendly and professional mates, puts his charter among the top tier in Virginia waters.

Reported catch:
Spadefish
Black Seabass

Amazing Captain!
Full Day Trip – Meat Hunter on April 14, 20242 adults

We are so glad we decided to go w/ Theo. He’s an amazing Captain and person. Very personable. We honestly felt like we’ve known him for years. He’s very laid back & kind. He listens & answered any questions we had. He was so patient when it came to showing me how to use the rods & cast. We actually went out w/ him 2 days in a row. We now consider him a friend and plan on coming up again next year.

Response from Captain

Thank you for the heart felt review. I really appreciate your words of kindness. Cant wait to see yall again when the Cobia are here. I really want you both to catch a Cobia. We can fry it up at the house and Sherry you can make some of that good pasta salad with Miracle Whip. No Cole slaw for Mike ok. Love you all.

Great day on the water and worth every penny!
Cobia Trips on May 23, 20243 adults

We booked a trip with Captain Theo to check Cobia off the bucket list. Captain Theo was a great communicator, set cleat expectations for the day and worked hard to make sure we had a great day fishing. He put us on the fish and we ended up with a citation worthy Cobia. I would definately recommend booking with Captain Theo. You won't be dissapointrd.

Response from Captain

This trip timed out at 2 pm but we stayed the course and kept on fishing for our clients. Within the next hour we hooked up on this 50 inch Citation Cobia followed up by a cool 39 inch Cobia 2 total. It's was a pleasure to fish with you guys David thank you for being patient with us.

Full Day Trip – Meat Hunter on June 16, 20243 adults

Johnny Quest is the real deal. He was very knowledgeable and has a passion for what he does. If the fish doesn't come to you he's going to go to the fish, you will not leave empty handed. Overall my group had a awesome time out with Johnny Quest and I do recommend others use him for their trip.

Reported catch:
Spadefish
Narrow-barred Spanish Mackerel

I started at 2 years old fishing with my grandfather they called him Dock Brown also my uncle Greg Brown and my other uncles Lloyd Brown and Uncle Jeff & Uncle Larry on the Cape Fear River Lock & Dam #1 in N.C. and Richard Deberry teaching me how to tie a fishermans knot at sanbridge fishing pier i was determined. So I watched and learned from them and other Charter boat Captains through the years. So now I'm taking fishing to another level. Joined the US Navy in 1989 at age 18 small rib boat operator for US Navy Seal Team 6 Desert Storm Shield Master Helsman on USS Halyburton FFG 40. High skill set for ship & small boat operations. Honorable Discharge. Our main goal is to make sure our clients catch fish. If we have to go into overtime for you, we will. Also, Johnny Quest Sport Fishing has won the Angler's Choice Award 2024 because Saam and i worked as a team to put our clients on the big fish. Saam has a high skill set for finding and hooking big fish. His drive and determination are like no other. When he gets in the zone, he's unstoppable. I've never seen anything like it. I want to say thank you, Saam, for a job well done.
