We have fished with Captain Juan several times and he continues to be one of our favorites! Knows exactly where the spots are and if we’re not catching anything then he’s quick to move on to another spot! We have always caught a lot with Captain Juan!

Favorite fishing charter I’ve been on so far. Juan is super knowledgeable and made this experience one to remember. We caught a ridiculous amount of fish: barracuda, snook, a lizard fish! Juan took us to the best spots and taught us so many tricks to make sure we caught as much as possible. Highly recommend!!

Short story, the best! Longish story, we have hired many charters over the last 20 years and Juan delivered way above expectations. His imprinted knowledge of the waters is uncanny, it is as if the fish know him. I challenge you to find a better charter service. Thank you Juan for a excellent experience.
