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!

Eric Kimbrell5.0VerifiedNEWIt's not a fishing charter..... IT'S A CATCHING FISH CHARTER!
5 Hour – Fall Trip • 9 adults • 4 childrenThe old saying "You're not catching, you're fishing" is a myth when you use Jus B Cause and Capt. Ken! He put us on honey hole after honey hole. First Mate Spencer and Second Mate Alto made it easy on deck keeping the hooks baited and pulling in our catch. They knew all of our names, kept us entertained and well informed. We had ages 5 to 51 and everyone caught fish, all 9 of us. We caught red grouper, Vermillion snapper, trigger fish, and chocolate snapper. This was the first time for 8 out of the 9 of us. I am glad we booked the 5 hr trip. This time of year you have to go a little further out because the closer in fishing is pretty beat up from the earlier months (Spencer wisdom 🫡). We caught between 30 an 35 fish.

Angela Mccoy5.0VerifiedAwesome first sea fishing experience!
Comemrative 5.5 • 8 adults • 1 childCaptain 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

Enrique Dubon5.0VerifiedGreat Experience with Just B Cause
6 hour 6 am summer trip • 7 adultsBoth 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.

Kim Edelmayer5.0VerifiedEpic Experience
4 Hour – Fall Trip • 7 adultsFirst 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!!
