Captain John Burkart is a real threat to any fish. He is often found guiding his clients through the waters of Louisiana and Florida, as well as fishing with his friends, including a fellow captain Jared Donnely, who runs his 23' boat. They specialize in bottom fishing and trolling offshore, going for Snapper, Grouper, Tuna, and many other species. They enjoy taking their clients out and always work hard to provide a fun and action-packed experience.

    Perfect for family

    Nearshore Fishing Charter • 6 adults • 1 child

    Captain John was great, knowledgeable, friendly, & polite. He took us to multiple spots. We catched some fish and also watch Dolphins. I highly recommend for people who are visiting the town or local who needs a family time on the water.

    Captain John was so nice and patient with these newbies! The weather was not working in our favor, and he made sure to keep us in spots where the fish were! We will for sure be booking with him again the next time we are in town!

    weather was not cooperating on our charter day and fish weren’t biting much so he took us out the next day at no extra charge - he makes sure you get the experience you pay for

What's biting with Captain John Fishing Charters – 27' in Pensacola

With humid weather and consistent rain showers in the afternoons, most Pensacola fishing charters fish early in the day. Catch slot Redfish around the docks and small Mahi Mahi just beyond the nearshore reefs.
