We had a great trip on the deep ocean with Big John. So much fun and sat us on fish at all stops. Easy, knowledgeable and fun conversations. Big fish and lots of variety. Denis and Corey were great and keep us baited and in the water. Shared fish and ocean knowledge with the group. Boat was clean and nice. Gear was very nice Highly recommend the Big John crew for your fishing experience. Big thanks to Holly for responding to my questions. Thanks to all of the crew of Big John’s... More

We don’t have enough great things to say about Dennis, Holly, and Cory. We brought 4 girls, all around the age of 9, and they’ve already said this is the best day of the vacation. The crew exceeded expectations with helping the kiddos learn and catch a whole lot of fish. Cory assisted my 10 year old in reeling in a 30 lb grouper and to my delight I think she’s hooked on the sport. We will 100% book this outfit again when we’re down here time. Thanks Big John!

They made the trip an absolute blast from start to finish. We had two teenage boys with us who can’t stop talking about all the fish we caught—they’re already begging to go back! We caught an impressive amount of fish, and the crew made sure everyone was involved and having a great time. If you’re in Destin... More

If you’re looking for an unforgettable family adventure, Big John’s Deep Sea Fishing is IT! My kids had an absolute blast, hooking fish bigger than they imagined, and even though we had to throw a few monsters back (out of season), the smiles were priceless. The first mate? Incredible. He and Denis kept the kids entertained, taught them the ropes, and made sure everyone was having a great time! And here’s the kicker: after the trip, we took our fish for the kids to weigh in for a... More
