My two boys love to fish. They had a great time. Captain Kelso was patient and did a great job showing them how to do something and letting them try it.

We booked an early morning charter with John and Mark and left the marina around 4 am.  As we prepared to fish, they explained the process in detail and quickly we were dropping lines.  There were quite a few other boats around, but Captain John kept us on the fish and safely distanced.  We hooked up several tarpon, enjoyed the majestic jumps, but could not get one close enough for a boat photo.  As the morning moved on and the tarpon bite slowed, they offered us the option of heading in a little to the mangroves to catch a few snook.  We did so and managed to catch a couple of nice snook.  John and Mark are both very conscientious about correct and proper fishing methods and do not practice gigging, which is harmful to the fish and very frowned upon.  We enjoyed our day on the water and we learned quite a bit from both of them about the area and fishing in general.  We highly recommend a charter with Boca Grande and would use them again!

Went out with John and mark from Boca Grande fishing charters and had a absolute wonderful time tried to tarpon fish in the morning but weather wouldn’t cooperate so we went in closer to shore and caught a variety of different fish till a lil later in the day the weather worked in our favor and tried for tarpon and had a blast hooking into a landing some of the most amazing fish we ever fished for would HIGHLY recommend this charter to anyone looking for a awesome day out on the water

John, and first mate Mark are great at what they do. It goes beyond that though. They are great people. I have dealt with many outfitters (hunting and fishing) over my many years. Most, quite honestly suck. These guys are right at the top. Personable, know their job, very accommodating, and they work their butts off to find fish. I will not use any other outfitter in Boca. Period! Thanks John and Mark! Can’t wait to fish with y’all again. I want that big Tarpon!

John and Mark provided us with a great day of fishing.  They were attentive to each member of our party to ensure everyone not only caught fish but enjoyed each catch!  They were very personable and gave extra attention to details such as food and snacks; as well as a break at the marina with ice cream.  We thoroughly enjoyed our day and will definitely book another trip with them.
