Great Trip!
6 Hour Trip (AM) on August 31, 2024
Captain John John has the knowledge and expertise to put you on the fish and make sure you have a safe trip while doing it. He had decades of local knowledge, competitive pricing, and can provide a trip to suit all ages and experience levels. He took out a mixed group of mostly inexperienced fisherman, including some elderly, and kept them having a great time, despite the weather being a little rough. We intend to rebook with him again and even bring some of the kids next time. He put us on a lot of Spanish Mackerel and we caught several good sized Bonita (not pictured).

First time charter was a great experience!
3 Hour Spring Break Special (PM) on August 4, 2024
My husband and I and our 10 year old son went out on Captain John John's boat while in Panama City and it was a great time! The tropical storm was looming so we stayed mostly offshore and in the bay but we were sure to get a few fish. After some unsuccessful trolling the captain took us to a couple other spots to try a different baits and techniques and we were able to pull in a few fish. He made sure my son would catch and reel them in so that meant a lot to us! He doesn't give up, knows all the right spots, and makes you feel very at ease. Highly recommend!

2hr Cruise morning or sunset (copy) on November 1, 2024
John and Scott were outstanding hosts. From the start, John was prompt and thorough in his communication, making planning our trip smooth and stress-free. His boat was impeccably clean and well-equipped with everything we needed. Scott’s assistance and expertise were also invaluable, adding to our confidence and enjoyment on the water. John’s warm personality and extensive knowledge of the area made the experience even more memorable. My fiancé and I had an unforgettable trip- we highly recommended booking with John!

Shark fishing
3 Hour Trip - Shark Night on July 11, 2024
Absolutely loved the shark fishing charter with captain John! By far the best charter I have ever been on so friendly and welcoming. We caught a baby shark to begin the trip and all though we only had caught that one for the first few hours they made sure we were laughing and joking around and doing whatever they could to hook us into another. We got to experience the true Panama City wildlife with a sea turtle swimming right next to us! Captain John wanted to hook us into another before we left and we did just that catching a 8 foot hammerhead! Would recommend this trip to anyone and will deffinitly be back!
