Captain Ken always loved fishing. He was born in South Florida and grew up on the water. When Ken was a teenager, he would often go out to sea at night on a boat that he built from scrap. He would go alone and fish without having to worry about anything. During his career as a tool dealer and an ASE certified mechanic, he bought and reconditioned a great number of boats. And finally, in 1999 he decided to make a living at it. His first charter boat was the 'Hooker Up' 29' Aquasport. Two years later, Ken joined a large fleet on Destin and worked part-time as a mate and a mechanic, which eventually turned him into a full-time captain for the fleet. In 2005, Ken founded Just B Cause Charters, which has proven to be a great success. Captain Ken has run over 6000 fishing charters. The numbers speak for themselves!

    Awesome first sea fishing experience!

    Comemrative 5.5 res snapper also • 8 adults • 1 child

    Captain Ken and his crew did a great job of helping everyone in our group catch lots of fish! The kids really enjoyed seeing a dolphin jump behind the boat on the way out. Just FYI if you’re prone to sea sickness you may need to take Dramamine the night before, bring Zofran, or a Scopalamine patch. The boat starts rocking when you get to the destination! We saw amazing sunsets and the breeze was just what we needed on the way back. The crewmber, Westley, cleaned our fish when we got back so we could bring it home or take it to Deweys to cook them up for us! Highly recommend

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper
    Vermilion Snapper

    Epic Experience

    4 Hour – Fall Trip • 7 adults

    First time deep sea for our whole family and it was incredible. our first mate was Spencer. We had children ages 5 and 7 and he was so helpful and kind. Picked up on names quickly and made sure that we didn’t have to wait for anything. They seem knowledgeable about the area! We ended up with lots of fish to eat! We highly recommend Ken and Spencer!!

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper

    Great Time with Lots of Fish

    4 Hour – Fall Trip • 9 adults

    We went out with Capt Ken and his deckhand for a 4 hr trip not expecting much due to time constraints but we were way wrong. We wrangled in 50-60 fish with 20 great keepers and some huge triggerfish. It could not have been a better trip! Thanks!

    Great Experience with Just B Cause

    6 hour 6 am summer trip • 7 adults

    Both Captain, Ken, and First Mate, Spencer did a great job putting us onto fish. We immediately went out to catch live bait after departure & everyone in the group was able to get several in the live well. Captain Ken was efficient with his spots and we were able to catch Red Snapper, Vermillion, Mingo, Amber Jacks, Triggers, White Snappers, and Bonito. Overall, great experience with the crew.

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper
    Vermilion Snapper
