5 hour 1 pm summer on July 15, 2025

Booked a 5-hour trip for 5 people and really enjoyed it. Brought in about 25 snapper…two of which were enough to feed 6 people alone. Captain was friendly and didn’t really see much of him other than the beginning and end of the trip, but that’s how it should be. He was able to locate some great spots. His crew, Spencer and Alto, were very friendly, patient, and very helpful. Enjoyed chatting with them. Highly recommend this charter.

Perfect Fishing Experience

VERIFIED

6 hour 6 am summer trip on June 3, 2025

A few days ago my close family and I went on the Fishing Just B Cause fishing charter. This was easily the best fishing charter I have ever been on. To start off, the boat was EXTREMELY nice. With an indoor couch, beds, table, and storage (as well as amazing AC) the inside of the boat was perfect for taking a break, and relaxing on the way to and from the spots. As for the outside of the boat, they had a very big area where we fished from. With PLENTY of rods to use my family and I were kept busy with fishing for the entirety of our trip. There was plenty of areas for the coolers we brought along to sit without getting in the way. The boat had a massive outside area that was more than enough room for my family to fish. Second, the mates were the best I have ever seen. They were talking to us the entire time ensuring we were comfortable, safe, and happy! Also, they were teaching us all about fishing and how we could improve to catch more fish. They were always keeping poles in the water so when two rods get tangled together, you can switch to other rods that were already in the water while they untangle/fix the rods. They were making the most out of the time we had to ensure that we were fishing non stop. Along with me on the trip, I had 4 kids, the mates ensured that they were entertained and engaged the entire time, they were extremely helpful and nice to the kids to be sure they had a great time. The mates also were very talented with knowing how, where, and when to fish. They would tell us exactly when to drop our baits down and tell us when to reel up and wait for a bite. Every drop down, I either got a bite or a fish and it was like that for everyone. They knew exactly what they were doing and they were very talented. They were very talkative to keep the boat energy up and be sure everyone was having a good time. As for the fishing itself, it was amazing, we caught some amazing, big, and beautiful fish. The mates knew exactly what fish we were catching and kept us learning about them and showing us cool parts of the fish. Over all the mates were perfect and couldn’t have been any better. As for the captain, he is the best one I have ever been on board with. When we got the marina, he gave us a quick rundown of the trip and introduced himself. For the ENTIRE trip, the captain kept us right on top of fish, being sure we didn’t waste a second! Also, on the way there and back we trolled two rods to better our chances of more and bigger fish. The captain also was perfect with his ways of driving the boat. Other charters I have been on, the captain will sometimes put you sideways towards the waves, making an uncomfortable and dangerous position on the water, the captain of Fishing Just B Cause was always sure to keep us pointed to the waves to make a better fishing and comfortable experience. Over all, this was by far the best fishing charter I have EVER been on, and I plan to use them again. Thank you so much to the captain and mates, the mates were extremely knowledgeable on fishing. Thank you so much for this amazing fishing experience, be sure to use these guys.

We had a great time. Captain was fantastic even though we had some rough seas and rain, he kept us on the fish. The deck hands were awesome and very knowledgeable. We had fishers from age 13 to 65 in our group and everyone had a great time. Would definitely book again.

Dog days of summer 6 hour on July 21, 2025

We searched for a charter that would accommodate our big group, including 3 kids- and JustBCause didn’t disappoint. Crew was on it and helpful, Captain but us on fish all day. Would recommend, especially if there are several fishing.

Captain Ken always loved fishing. He was born in South Florida and grew up on the water. When Ken was a teenager, he would often go out to sea at night on a boat that he built from scrap. He would go alone and fish without having to worry about anything. During his career as a tool dealer and an ASE certified mechanic, he bought and reconditioned a great number of boats. And finally, in 1999 he decided to make a living at it. His first charter boat was the ‘Hooker Up’ 29’ Aquasport. Two years later, Ken joined a large fleet on Destin and worked part-time as a mate and a mechanic, which eventually turned him into a full-time captain for the fleet. In 2005, Ken founded Just B Cause Charters, which has proven to be a great success. Captain Ken has run over 6000 fishing charters. The numbers speak for themselves!
