My 9-year-old son and I booked our first-ever fishing trip with Captain Jesse, and it was honestly one of the best days we’ve had together. From the moment we stepped on the boat, Jesse made sure we felt comfortable and excited for the day ahead.

My son caught his very first redfish — and then his second one shortly after — and the look on his face was priceless. Captain Jesse was so patient and encouraging with him the whole trip, taking the time to explain what he was doing and why, and celebrating every catch like it was the biggest one of the day. You could tell he genuinely loves helping kids fall in love with fishing, not just putting fish in the boat.

He went above and beyond the entire trip — helping my son reel in, teaching him proper technique, and making sure he was having fun the whole time.

If you’re looking for a guide who will make your first fishing trip (especially with kids) an unforgettable experience, Captain Jesse is the guy. We’ll absolutely be booking with him again. Highly recommend!

We were looking for trips as always during our trip. We were looking through the reviews and saw that he was a christian! We said “that’s the one” He is the real deal and loves the Lord! We love that he uses the platform of fishing to share his story and the gospel! We did catch fish and he was as excited as we were! He was all in from helping us cast out as needed and helped with bait. He was so positive and encouraging! We will definitely be booking with him again!

We just came back from a trip with Capt Jesse , myself with my 2 boys Joe and vin and our family from NY Danny with his son Joe…. What a great trip!!! We ALL had a blast we ALL caught fish !! We caught a bunch of snappers and a couple of sheepshead! Capt Jesse was great he knows exactly where to go to catch fish!! The boat was clean all the equipment in great condition. Showed the kids how to bait up the hooks and how to cast the right way !!! 4:19 charters and Capt Jesse couldn’t have been better or nicer and we are ready to book our next trip in June/July for tarpon season !! Highly recommended if you’re on vacation or just want to go out for a few hours and you live in FL either way 4:19 charters and Capt Jesse is the way to go!!! Thanks again so much !!!

4:19 does it the right way! Praise God for the calling made on this Charter service. Sometimes, life is more than just the fish. This trip was so much more for my son’s first salt fishing trip. What a way to show him how you can always keep God and Jesus the center with eveything you do and never be ashamed of him! 4:19 loves some Jesus!!!

We started at a wreck offshore We caught a 30” Cobia and several gag groupers and a red grouper .We moved to next spot and caught a handfull of grunts.The last spot inshore we caught 4 keeper spotted sea trouts and several shorts. I highly recommend Jesse ! He will put you on the fish ! I will be back !
