    The Best Charter

    6 hour bottom fishing - 1:00 PM on September 15, 2026 • 2 adults

    100/5 Stars – World-Class Fishing & Great Vibes! If I could rate Captain John 100 stars, I would! He delivers a top-tier charter experience from start to finish. I’ve fished all over the world and the US, and John’s trip stands out above the rest. He knows the waters inside and out, works hard to get you your limit every time, and creates an awesome environment on the boat (his playlist is unmatched!). Cruising out on the water listening to great music and bringing home a full limit makes every trip unforgettable. Highly recommend!

    July fishing trip

    6 hour bottom fishing on July 27, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    We chose to go on a larger boat because you never know what the weather is going to do. In true fashion it was a little rough out this morning but the boat was very smooth. The captain worked hard to get us on snapper and we had the majority of our limit early. We hit a couple of other spots looking to fill the last of our limit and ended on a stud. Captain was very nice and made sure everyone was getting on fish. I would recommend this charter to anyone and look forward to booking them again when I’m back this way.
