First trip on ocean

6 Hour Trip – Inshore/Near1 adult

Me and my wife have never been on a fishing trip before and did not know what to expect. Boy did I pick the right captain. He and his mate are very knowledgeable. He put us on the fish right away. Most important is his boating skills. They were top notch. We felt safe the whole trip. Thanks salty waters

    Chill morning near shore

    4 Hour inshore Trip • 4 adults

    Decided the day before to take the wife and parents out for a morning trip. Capt John called and wanted to know what we were looking to fish for. I had been wanting to go for Drum, and John advised that the conditions probably weren’t going to be favorable for a good Drum bite, so we decided on doing some trolling. We got some rods in the water and weaved around spots where the bite was good. He and his son the mate were very attentive and wanted to make sure we had a good experience. We ended the trip with several decent sized Spanish Mackerel in the well and left happy. Pretty chill trip and pulled out some fish as well

    Response from Captain

    Dylan, thank you for a great review. I had a blast with you guys. Can’t wait to take you again. Maybe next time we can get on those Drum.

    on fish within 5 minutes

    4 Hour inshore Trip • 6 adults

    capt john and his daughter (capt Kayla) were excellent, easy, and very experienced. we had an amazing time and everything was relaxed, organized, and they were both very knowledgeable. We talked alot and had alot of fun. Once capt. john set the rods up we were on fish in no more than 5 minutes, and we stayed on for pretty much the whole time. Absolutely recommend and cant wait to book again!

    amazing!

    2 hour kid trip • 6 adults • 2 children

    we took our two foster sons and our 4 year old is on the spectrum and captain and his son were SO GREAT WITH HIM! our son had a bit of a tantrum at one point but they were so patient and engaged with him! It was such a great experience and they loved it! Really great for families especially if you have any neurodivergent kiddos, they were great! They are still talking about “Captain and Mr. Brad”! Caught some fish and saw some beautiful scenary!

    October fishing trip

    4 Hour inshore Trip • 5 adults

    I had an excellent experience with Captain John from start to finish. He was respectful, professional, and clearly very knowledgeable. What stood out most was his willingness to teach and explain things in depth. He didn’t just guide the trip, he made it an opportunity to learn, answering every question with patience and detail. His professionalism and approachable demeanor made the outing both enjoyable and educational. I would highly recommend Captain John to anyone looking for not only a safe and smooth trip but also a chance to gain real insight from someone with deep expertise.
