I have done 20+ charters in the keys and this was without a doubt one of the very best. Booked a very last minute trip with my 8 year old son. Jon was super flexible on timing to accommodate us. We booked a 2 hour trip that turned into a 6 hour trip. Both my son and I had an incredible time. Jon is also a biologist and knows a TON about the ecosystem which is very cool. the boat is in excellent condition and unlike too many other charters he uses great tackle. Twin power... More

I touched base with Jon-Paul prior to the trip to see if my son and I might be able to target a few different types of fish and he worked his tail off trying to deliver. We really wanted to get some mangrove snapper and trout to take to a restaurant and we had no problem getting that done. Snook were a challenge for us but it wasn’t due to lack of effort. We saw plenty of fish but no takers. He was also able to put us on some juvenile Goliath grouper which was a blast. My son really wanted to... More

This was absolutely the fish theme trip of a lifetime. It was a quick trip, but you don’t need to take a lot of time when you catch some of the best targeted species in the fishing capital of the world. Captain Jon-Paul put me on fish within 20 minutes of hitting the water. Fish in the mangroves for a bit caught a nice grouper, then moved out to the flats targeting bonefish, but were pleasantly surprised when we got hit and landed a big Permit fish. Once again, fishing trip of a lifetime. I... More

Our trip was on time. He had everything we needed. My wife has not fished much and she was highly successful with Jon-Paul’s help. We knocked several species off of our bucket list. From polling the flats, sneaking through the mangroves or hitting bridge’s bridges when the tide swing was perfect, he had the trip lined out beautifully! I would highly recommend! A true gentleman and interesting young man to spend the day with.

Fishing conditions were not ideal but Jon Paul was still able to put us on the fish!! Good quality Snook, grouper, reds, jacks, snapper and sharks!  Left the dock early, came back late, 100% effort, and all of our targeted species in the boat.  What else can you ask for? Even Got a spotless redfish, only spotless red fish in my life!  Boat was smooth and dry in chop high quality st croix rods and gear in good condition.  It was a pleasure to fish with Jon Paul, good conversations and knowledgeable...
