Hi Sandra, We had a great day fishing with y’all yesterday. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry we did not live up to the 5 ⭐️ review for the boat. Please let us know what we can do to make that better. Enjoy your catch and we hope to see you back again soon.

We had an amazing experience with Big John Charter Fishing! The boat was in excellent shape, extremely clean, and very comfortable for our family. The cool cabin was especially important for our younger children and made the trip much more enjoyable during the heat of the day. The weather brought some rough water at times, but the crew handled it perfectly and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip. A special shoutout to Jordan, the first mate/deckhand, who was absolutely... More

Hello Tray, thank you so much for the glowing review. We enjoyed a fun day fishing with y’all on the Gulf. The five star is always the goal and it makes our day when this happens. We think Jordan is amazing too. We hope to see you again.

Came for a family trip including three generations! We have nothing but great things to say about our experience today! The boat was clean and in excellent shape. The crew was knowledgeable and super helpful. We had a great time! Caught lots of red snapper which was expertly cleaned up for us at the end of the day. Highly recommend as an experience you won’t forget!

Had a blast aboard the Big John! Caught a ton of vermillion snapper and triggerfish. Captain put us on the fish and kept us on them despite an unexpectedly rough day on the gulf. Matt and Jordan were rockstar deckhands. They were extremely helpful with our crew of mostly first-timer teenagers. Will defintely be back! Highly recommend!
