Ratings & Reviews Summary
April 18, 2025
I called Captain John on very short notice from a referral from a friend looking for a guide to take us fishing with our 7 and 10 yr old daughters. He lined us up with Captain Jared for a half day trip. Our daughters had a blast on their first fishing trip to the gulf. Captain Jared and First-mate Dennis were always waiting with another rod for all of us and did their best to keep our girls engaged. I would definitely recommend Captain John Fishing Charters and look forward to coming back again.

We caught a couple Red Snapper and hooked a few sharks that we couldn't reel in. He put us on the fish, and we gave it our all.
