we took our two foster sons and our 4 year old is on the spectrum and captain and his son were SO GREAT WITH HIM! our son had a bit of a tantrum at one point but they were so patient and engaged with him! It was such a great experience and they loved it! Really great for families especially if you have any neurodivergent kiddos, they were great! They are still talking about “Captain and Mr. Brad”! Caught some fish and saw some beautiful scenary!
kirsten thank you for an awesome review. I had an amazing time with you and your family. 
Decided the day before to take the wife and parents out for a morning trip. Capt John called and wanted to know what we were looking to fish for. I had been wanting to go for Drum, and John advised that the conditions probably weren’t going to be favorable for a good Drum bite, so we decided on doing some trolling. We got some rods in the water and weaved around spots where the bite was good. He and his son the mate were very attentive and wanted to make sure we had a good experience. We ended the trip with several decent sized Spanish Mackerel in the well and left happy. Pretty chill trip and pulled out some fish as well
Dylan, thank you for a great review. I had a blast with you guys. Can’t wait to take you again. Maybe next time we can get on those Drum. 
Me and my wife have never been on a fishing trip before and did not know what to expect. Boy did I pick the right captain. He and his mate are very knowledgeable. He put us on the fish right away. Most important is his boating skills. They were top notch. We felt safe the whole trip. Thanks salty waters
Wes thank you for the awesome review. Hopefully I get to see you guys again soon. 
Was looking for a quick outing to get my kids on the water while we were in town. The two hour kids charter was perfect. Capt John and Brad were great! The kids both commented on how much fun they had. We caught a few fish and had a nice trip on the water. Will use him again when we come back to visit.
Jeremy, thank you for the awesome review. Can’t wait to go fishing with you guys again. 
I had an excellent experience with Captain John from start to finish. He was respectful, professional, and clearly very knowledgeable. What stood out most was his willingness to teach and explain things in depth. He didn’t just guide the trip, he made it an opportunity to learn, answering every question with patience and detail. His professionalism and approachable demeanor made the outing both enjoyable and educational. I would highly recommend Captain John to anyone looking for not only a safe and smooth trip but also a chance to gain real insight from someone with deep expertise.
