Ratings & Reviews Summary
May 31, 2025
My family of 5 (3 adults and 2 teens), had a great time fishing in the everglades with John and Kevin. From the first time I contacted John he was very responsive and provided all the information we needed to have a great fishing experience. He was very knowledgeable about the key spots to fish and special bates to use. He also shared historical facts about the area and all the type of fish that are native to the everglades. Kevin his deck hand was very patient and helpful with bating and casting all our rods and even with taking our pictures of the fish we caught. This was our first time fishing in the everglades and based on this great experience, it will not be our last.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Kayak Sunset Tour, and I must say it was an absolutely magical and unforgettable adventure. From the moment we launched our kayaks into the tranquil waters of the wetlands, I was captivated by the serene beauty that surrounded us.Thank you Captain Jonathan for such a wonderful experience.
