Can I just say a quick thank you, Captain John, for a really fun and family-friendly morning of tarpon fishing? We can highly recommend this trip! Spot on! Will definitely be booking again. The boat trip consisted of 4 hours; the captain supplied all the equipment. Awesome...

John was superb. We went as a group of six, went for around 6 hours, and caught over 35 snappers, yellowtails, Jack Crevalle, snappers, Spotted Seatrout, and tarpons. I've never seen the kids enjoy something so much. Capt. John was fantastic with the kids, 4 adults and 2 children, and entertained them and made them laugh. really knows what he's doing. cannot recommend highly enough... Thanks, John, all 6 of us LOVED IT !!!
Superb trip around Palm Beach for our group of five (including 2 young kids). Captain John could not have been more hospitable. I love fishing and spoke to John about the trips (Snook, deep sea, and shark) they do, which all sound superb. They are very knowledgeable, and I would not hesitate to book a fishing trip on a future holiday. If you don't like fishing, still go on this boat, as the scenery is superb. Thanks to you for a great trip...
Fantastic experience. captain John on the boat was very kind and helpful. he was firm and friendly with the kids, which was good. They were very patient and helpful with me, as I have mobility problems and walk with a crutch. caught plenty of Barracuda. Recommend trip from me and my family of five
We went out on the Spotted Seatrout fishing trip and caught a total of 27 fish! It was a really fun experience, and John the captain was brilliant. Highly recommend if you're visiting Palm Beach.
Had an amazing time fishing with John the captain; we caught an abundance of Snook in wonderful surroundings and scenery! The captain was experienced and guided us throughout the 4 hr+ trip. A truly memorable, fun, and exciting trip for all ages, our group ranged from 12 to 50-something! Highly recommendable.
We've been out with John many times over the years, and we've had such a fantastic time with our family on fishing trips. I can highly recommend this for an adventurous couple of hours in Palm Beach. We always come home with a memorable story! Cheers, chaps; see you next year.
This is a wonderful way to spend 4 hours with the kids. A properly equipped fishing boat. We caught a lot of barracuda. Captain John, a lovely chap, explained it all to them (and me) cheerfully.
A fantastic day fishing in Palm Beach with the family. Captain John was incredibly supportive with the beginners in our group and made everyone feel comfortable right away. We had a fun day catching snapper, spotted seatrout, and even a couple of big sharks. There were plenty of laughs throughout the trip thanks to John’s great personality and sense of humor. Such a memorable experience for all of us.
We spent a couple of hours out on the water on a quiet weekday and it turned out to be a fantastic way to spend the time. John is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable, and within minutes we were catching fish like jack crevalle and snapper. Highly recommended.
This captain’s passion for the Palm Beach waters really shows. Capt. John is great company and it is refreshing to be out with someone who truly cares about the environment. One of my best inshore fishing experiences.
We went for the 4-hour option. John is very knowledgeable about the area and the fish and looked after the boat of 5 people very well. We caught plenty of fish between five species Snapper, Yellowtail, Jack Crevalle, Snapper and Spotted Seatrout,, so that always makes it a good day!
Absolutely fantastic experience yesterday with the family. Can’t recommend our captain (John) and the experience highly enough! We headed out early in the morning and, with the expertise of John, caught loads of snapper. The kids were different ages, and he guided each one brilliantly and patiently. Will be highly recommending to others!
My grandchildren loved being on John's boat, catching snapper fish and then having them cooked at home fully fresh, complete with chips. Can't beat it. Hope you have a good end to your season.
We were staying in the area, and I’d read about fishing trips. Finally, I booked a 4 hr trip with 3 boys (my family), and the captain was John; he was the best. Our little boy was beyond excited when we caught no less than 17 snapper during the trip! It was a beautiful, sunny day, and the trip out on the water also gave us a wonderful view of the Palm Beach. We would highly recommend Capt. John!
All the equipment was prepared. Basics were practiced initially, then we were all ready and fishing. Great experience and 6 hours worth spending. Great captain John entertained with stories and caught huge spotted seatrout!! Throughly recommend.
We went out for a 4-hour-long boat trip with Captain John, and we all had a brilliant time. He was really friendly and knowledgeable about the area and was happy to answer all our questions. We tried snook fishing, with John's help, and even saw a shark! Would definitely recommend :)
A friend and I went out yesterday with our 12- and 10-year-old sons. We did the 4-hour trip; I would say this is just about right for their age. We all had a great time, and despite a slow start, everyone caught a huge snapper fish. Captain John, who was very helpful and friendly and even filleted the fish for us, saving me the job later!
Had a fantastic trip with Captain John in the March 3rd week and caught yellowtail, jack crevalle, snapper, and spotted seatrout (totally 20+). John let us in on a little secret about getting the fish ready for the plate, which really worked a treat! Thanks, John, for yet another top trip!
My son Peter said Captain John was very organized and attentive and very helpful with the actual fishing. He was empathetic to the children on board and did everything necessary to get us fishing. We all caught lots of spotted seatrout, and in the words of our grandson, Matthew, we all had 'super cool fun'! A great way to spend 4 hours!
Five of us had the most wonderful experience on Friday last. We were on a day trip with Captain John! We had a wonderful time, caught loads of fish (yellowtail, jack crevalle, snapper, spotted seatrout, and tarpon), and thoroughly enjoyed the water view and the boat. I would recommend a similar trip to anyone. Many thanks, John—see you next month!
What a great way to spend six hours. Our first ever fishing trip resulted in catching 20+ Tarpon. We had a great captain, John, fantastic weather & loved every minute. Granted, the weather was a bonus and our son would have loved it. Would highly recommend a trip out to sea to catch fish.
I went on a 6-hour fishing trip with my friend. We booked this trip and read the good reviews. My friend had a wonderful time and he caught more fish than I've caught in a lifetime. A really great experience and definitely a high point in the holiday.
My teenage son and I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon fishing with captain John. He is very welcoming and keen to share his fishing knowledge with all comers of any age or fishing knowledge very limited in my case! He very quickly puts everyone at ease and has terrific patience for those who may take a while in getting the knack of 'feeling the tug' as the Snapper bites. You can keep some you catch; if he has time, he'll gut it for you and he'll even talk you through his favorite recipes so you know how to enjoy them when you get home! Thanks, John, they were delicious; we'll be back for more before long!
My husband persuaded me to go on this trip and I have to admit it was a great way to spend 4 hours. The scenery at Palm Beach was lovely, John was very friendly and helpful, and the Barracuda were well, quite few and far between but John made sure we all had enough for a barbeque before we went back! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this trip and captain John .
Wonderful trip today at Palm Beach. Captain John was really amazing, the water scenery was mind-blowing, and there were lots of yellowtail fish. My son (13 years old) and I really enjoyed it; I would highly recommend it.
Such a lovely trip! John was so lovely and friendly. caught loads of snook and barracuda and even some shark! Even when my little boy felt a bit poorly, John told him a fantastic story about Palm Beach. Thank you so much for such a great 4 hours!
It was a great choice. We took a trip out on Palm Beach Inshore Fishing on a beautiful day. The boat was really great. The captain, John, was superb, very welcoming, and knew exactly where to go to get the best on that day. We saw many Jack Crevalle, and without asking, he would reposition the boat so it was the most stable in the current and also got the best angles to get the best photos. He was clearly looking to give us a great experience, which he did, rather than just go through the motions. We caught a 10+ lb shark. Obviously I would totally recommend having a trip on the Little Mermaid.
John was very helpful and did everything to make sure we had a great time! We caught six fishes and had fun cooking them at home.
