You will NOT be disappointed What a great couple days of fishing. We are from Wisconsin and fish charters quite often. John is knowledgeable, catches fish, and just a fun guy to be around. We caught our limit of snapper and some yellow tail and the next day we did some sport fishing and caught a tarpon!! Thanks John, we will be back.

Fantastic Fishing!! We were struggling to find a charter we could trust. Some of the websites wanted us to give them our credit card and then they would tell us, after we paid, who our Captain was! Finally someone we trusted said go with John and they were right. He's professional, he put us on fish, he limited the catch to preserve the future which is a rare quality in Charter Captains these days, and he gave us all two great days on the water. I cannot recommend him strongly enough. We're definitely coming back.

Fantastically Memorable!! We had a fantastic time fishing with Captain John! He and his first mate, Blake, went out of their way to try and help us catch as many fish as possible! They were knowledgeable and a LOT of fun! The only recommendation we have is to make sure you book either a 6-hour or full day charter. You will NOT regret it!! We say 5+ stars!!!

Phenomenal trip Communication was great, John wasn’t able to take us out because his wife and he were having a baby (congratulations) but John called his partner Zack to take us out on Sunday because weather was horrible Saturday. Zack was waiting on us at the dock we loaded our items and away we went. My wife and I fish more than most people so we were no strangers to being on the water, but we have never caught what we were searching for, Zack assured us that he would try his best to find our species. Sure enough we followed the birds offshore and by the grace of Fish Gods we spotted i floating log!!!!!! That was the blessing that captain Zack was searching for!!! Zack set out our trolling rigs and with in minutes they were hooked up and my wife had caught her first ever mahi dolphin!!! After that we caught fish after fish and I even caught the biggest Mahi of the year on this boat a 15lber?. We headed in and captain Zack had our dolphin all cleaned in bags and on ice! Captain Zack is a hard core true captain that works his tail off for his clients! I highly recommend these guys for your boating experience.

"Top Notch!" Top Notch.....professional, experienced, knowledgeable... Capt John and 1st Mate Steve, made the trip! I think even if we didn't catch a mountain of fish (Bull Shark's, Mutton's, Barracuda's, Mahi-mahi's, Spade's, a ton of bait-fish, oh and an Moray eel) the trip would have been a success. At one point myself and all three of my Boy's where reeling in Mahi-mahi. Thanks for the memories guy's cant wait to do it again!
