Ratings & Reviews Summary

Captain Jon did a great job. Very friendly and patient with my little guy. He let him help him with bait and stuff. We started out kinda slow but wound up with a few good keepers. Would definitely ride with him again!

Couldn’t have asked for a better trip. This was the first time out with the whole family including 4 young boys. Captain Jon was awesome and put them on lots of fish. They had an absolute blast. Would definitely recommend using him for your family trip.

We have been trying to do a fishing charter for 3 years and today it finally happened! Not only were Jon & Kevin amazing but very knowledgeable & super fun! When we come back we will definitely do another charter with them. Highly recommend if I could give 10 stars we would. Not sure who would give them less than 5 stars

WHAT A DAY!! great man, great boat! Great experience. Captain Jon bent over backward to make this day effortless. From getting us to good fishing grounds to baiting our hooks, giving advice, sorting out snags, and getting the more difficult fish off our hooks. He did everything. Can’t recommend it enough.

This was the most fun I have had on vacation. We come to Destin and have for the past 10 years and decided to try deep sea fishing. Capt. Jon was very knowledgeable when it came to the types of fish and just how to pull them in so quickly. I couldn’t keep up, every time my rod went in I had something. He was also on it, every time my hook needed bait or the fish took off. He was there. . I was pleased and will definitely book him next year!

Just went out on a day trip with captain Jon. Had and awesome time and he is very knowledgeable and never stopped putting us on the fish. If you want to go out and have a great time and catch fish I recommend Bendin rods and captain Jon. Will definitely book again my next trip to Destin.
