4 Hour Trip – Summer - 6:00 AM3 adults

Caught one fish When you pay $550 for 4 hours you expect to catch more than one fish.

Response from Captain

I’m sorry that neap tide fell on your day to fish and that the fishing was very difficult. In this line of business successfully catching large amount of fish in our bay is just about hardest fishing in our area and everyday is different. I wish it was different for us that day but those were the cards that were dealt. My suggestion is checking tides and making sure you aren’t fishing in a neap tide which weighs heavy on how successful you will be that day. Above picture is July 25th. One day before your trip.

    Charter fishing Spring Break 2026

    3 Hour Trip – Spring - 12:00 PM • 6 adults • 2 children

    We spent Spring Break 2026 in Destin for my son’s senior year. He really wanted to go deep sea fishing so we booked a 3hr trip with Capt Jonathan. The gulf was too rough to go out deep sea fishing but Captain Jonathan offered to give us our money back or said we could still go fishing in the bay; who knows when we would get a chance to go salt water fishing again so we opted to still go fishing. Captain Jonathan was friendly, knowledgeable and everyone caught fish! He cleaned and filleted the fish and recommended a great restaurant that will cook the fish for us. We enjoyed our afternoon with Captain Jonathan and would highly recommend booking a charter trip with him!

    Good trip

    3 Hour Trip – Summer - 12:00 PM • 4 adults

    The fish weren’t biting that day but we tried a bunch of spots and my kids and nephew caught a few decent ones and they had a blast for their first time charter fishing so I was pleased and the captain was a nice guy and was on the spot baiting their hook and casting for them which was cool. I was there just to watch them have fun! I would use the guy again for sure.

    Hamds down, best fishing trip ever!!

    3 Hour Trip – Spring - 12:00 PM • 4 adults • 2 children

    We went out for the three hour afternoon trip and were on fish the entire time. Four of us went and one of us was always on a fish. we caught red snapper, mangrove snapper, venitian snapper, sand perch, trigger fish and some other fish I didn’t pay much attention to. It was to hard take pictures, video and reel in a fish all at the same time. I would HIGHLY recommend Jonathan to anyone visiting the Destin area. He was incredibly helpful and had us on fish the entire three hours.
