Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Justin consistently delivers outstanding fishing results, putting clients on mahi, king fish, cobia, and grouper right from the start. His local knowledge shines through diverse catches including 7 mahi in offshore waters, 6 kings on half-day trips, and impressive bottom fishing hauls with lane snappers, triggers, and even an 8-foot shark encounter. Justin's expertise with top-notch equipment and ideal ocean boats keeps lines in the water and anglers catching fish throughout entire trips. Customers appreciate Justin's welcoming personality and dedication to making every trip memorable, whether it's a 12-year-old's birthday celebration or a first-timer's deep sea adventure. His crew creates such a comfortable atmosphere that guests feel like family, often ending trips with hook-and-cook feasts. Many clients book repeat trips and refuse to fish with other charters, praising Justin's professionalism and willingness to share knowledge with both children and experienced anglers.

Captain Justin was a great guide, we were dealing with not so great conditions to go offshore but we got our limit of Snapper within 90 minutes. Moved around to see what else we could get and I can honestly say he knows his stuff. He was very well informed about where to go, what to go after and his first priority was to make sure we got on the fish! Would definitely book with him again next time we are in town

Captain Justin and his mate were absolutely great! They had us on mahi pretty quickly as we made our way offshore. Ended up with a total of 7 mahi before the storms drove us back towards port. We stopped before going in and did some bottom fishing that also went great! Ended up bringing in 5 short cobia (nice size on the fish, just not big enough to keep), a nurse shark, several trigger fish, some lane snapper, blue runners and some other randoms (soap fish!). The trip was for my 12 year old son's birthday and we could not have asked for a better trip. Absolutely would recommend!

Captain Justin is fantastic – this is our second trip with him, and we had an amazing time. He knows exactly where to find the fish and has top-notch equipment. His boats are ideal for the ocean, and we’ll definitely be back for another fishing trip in the future! My son had a blast too – a bird even landed on him while fishing, and he thought it was hilarious. We had an unforgettable time!

It was my wife’s first time deep sea fishing and we had a great trip. Captain Justin knew what he was doing and we caught 6 king fish on a half day trip. I would highly recommend booking with him.
