First fishing charter I've ever done and I enjoyed every minute of it! Captain John is great and told us some great stories while we were on the boat. First mate Chris took care of everything and helped us catch lots of fish and prepped them once we got back to the dock. I would definitely do another charter with JRB if I'm ever back in the area!

We absolutely loved our trip with Johnny and Scott. They had the best stories and kept it fun the entire time. The boat was amazing, they were first class hosts and taught my sons all they needed to know. Each of my boys caught a fish and couldn’t wait to get back home to cook their catch. My son started preparing his catch as soon as we got home. I definitely recommend this charter! Thank you both for hosting us!
