    2 hr Fish and fun - 11:00 AM2 adults1 child

    we caught huge fish slmost everytime we cast, it was insane and so much fun! he has these spots (all captains have spots) but the others dont even compare. he taught my son things, we had a great conversation, it was just an all around great time. we had to do a shorter trip but we immediately got to his spots, casted out (he did) and my son just kept reelin em in. cannot doesk highlt enough about our experience. thank you, Capt John!!

    we had a blast with these guys!

    8 hr in/near/ offshore Capt. choice4 adults

    We had an incredible time on this fishing charter! From the moment we stepped aboard, the crew was friendly, professional, and made us feel right at home. They were extremely knowledgeable, patient, and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great experience. The boat was clean and well-maintained, the equipment was excellent, and the entire trip was smooth and enjoyable. We caught some great fish, but the beautiful scenery, great company, and excitement on the water made the day truly unforgettable. If you’re looking for a fun, professional, and memorable fishing experience, I highly recommend this charter. We’ll definitely be coming back for another trip

    Great Captian

    4 Hour Trip — Inshore/Nearshore - 7:00 AM3 adults

    John is a great captain. I have fished all over the world and would 100% go fishing with him again very knowledgeable. Put us on the fish was very patient with myself. My wife and my daughter we love the trip had some bad weather had to reschedule, but he was very flexible with what we wanted to do and helped out tremendously.. at the end of the trip we wanted to keep some fish to take back to the Airbnb. He filleted them for us, explained to us how to cook them and they ended up being great, overall top notch guide.. thank you so much for making this trip so memorable for myself and my daughter and my wife.

    Great trip with 6y/o old son

    6 hr In/near/ offshore Capt. choice2 adults1 child

    Captain John and Captain Brian were excellent. i had my 6 y/o son on his first 6hr charter and they made sure he had a great time. His hooks were always baited and they helped him reel in many fish inckuding a large grouper. We are avid Florida fishermen so our expectations are always high, and this crew had us on fish all day. The new 26’ pathfinder was immaculate and got us to and from the spots quickly and comfortably. We will be back to chase more big fiah with John and Brian. if you want true local knowledge and great company, book this crew.

    Response from Charter operator

    Beautiful Morningafcddcawaszsawssswsw

    3 hr in/nearshore Capt. choice - 10:00 AM4 adults

    What a morning we had !! Our trip was just after a storm that stirred things up, even the fish. In spite of that, Capt John found us a place where we caught some fish. (I caught the biggest one!!) Capt John was incredibly helpful in keeping our lines baited and in the water. Also, If you should have a mobility issue, this is the charter to pick. I enjoy when things I do are first-class. Capt John and his charter easily earned that title.
