October 7, 2025

We booked a charter fishing trip with captain Ben Johnson in June of 2025, and he went above and beyond all expectations. Lots of knowledge, and just a great captain and crew to be around. We hope to book another charter with him again in August. Would definitely recommend to all friends and family!

October 7, 2025

I've tried several other charters off Barker's Island, but none compare to this one. The boat is fantastic to fish from—clean and comfortable with no unpleasant gas fumes. The captain and first mate were absolutely top-notch. Highly recommend!

October 7, 2025

Captain Ben and his first mate made an incredible team! While we didn’t catch any fish, it wasn’t for lack of effort—they gave it their all, but the current just wasn’t in our favor. Despite that, we had an amazing time and would absolutely recommend a trip with Captain Ben. It was so much fun!

October 7, 2025

We had an amazing time with Captain Ben and his first mate, Conner! They went above and beyond to try to get us on some fish, and we even got to enjoy the thrill of riding some gnarly waves.

October 7, 2025

We had an awesome time and even brought home some fish—a successful trip all around! Ben and Connor were fantastic, making the experience truly enjoyable.

October 7, 2025

Ben was an excellent captain. He was flexible with our schedule and took us to several spots for different types of fish. The boat was also very comfortable, making for a great experience overall.
