Booked a morning charter with Captain John in late January. His pre trip communication was clear and accurate leading up to the trip. It was unseasonably cold and windy but that didn’t stop us from catching many different varietys of fish.
Captain was extremely knowledgeable and considerate to us novice salt water fishermen. We caught all kinds of species including sheephead,snapper,shark,trout,puffer fish, catfish and some others.
John is easy going, very personalable and straight forward. He was very knowledgable about the 10,000 island fishing locations. His boat was very clean and very easy to find. Would definitely recommend a trip with captain John, and hope to come back in the future.

Capt John Pipitone is an excellent captain. My buddy and I caught 5 reds and kept our two slot fish, got a keeper sea trout, limited out on mangrove snapper, got 3 under slot snook, hooked up on a tarpon but unable to land it, and caught an assortment of jack crevalles. John has been fishing the waters around Marco Island his whole life. The dude can flat out fish. That’s why I’m a repeat customer. Tony from Ft Lauderdale.

My wife, 18 year old son and I had a fun morning fishing with Captain Cristian (John’s brother). We didn’t manage to catch any keepers but my wife landed a massive stingray and son got to fight a huge tarpon for a while until it bit thru the line. Cristian was great. He was lightning quick baiting, changing gear etc and brought us all around to different spots. We’d definitely go again.

I have been on 25 plus charters, from Hawaii to the Atlantic of North Carolina and Captain John is by far the best Captain I have used. Not only is he great company but he is very knowledgeable about the mangroves and the species of fish we are aiming for. Captain John is highly recommended.

My crew had a great time. Mike was knowledgeable and worked with my crew. I’d happily book him again to fish around Marco.
