EXCELLENT CHARTER!  TOP NOTCHE SERVICE!!
100% will book again when we come back. 
Right from the get-go, John was responsive at getting back to us.  He was thoughtful when communicating the options we had for time and what to fish for, as the weather over the days we were there was not ideal. (Which we understood as we’ve done other charters)

We did a morning charter.  John greeted us right away, and we went to the boat.  His boat was in pristine condition! Very clean and nice equipment.  Everything ran so smoothly.  We tried many spots for catching something and saw many other boats out.  Fish were not being kind and didn’t want to take the bait, despite having many nibbles.  Dolphins were awersome to seeQaqmm

It was one of the BEST charters we’ve been on!!
John is so friendly and truly has some of the best customer service! You will not be disappointed at all to book this charter!
Best day on the water!!
Thanks John! We will be back

Captain John is a very good Captain. We didn’t catch a lot but we did catch some great keepers. Weather probably played a huge part in the catches on this day. It didn’t appear that any others were catching much of anything. Captain John knew the places to keep us in the bites and catches. I took two 14 year olds, one with little to no fishing experience. Captain John was very patient with both of them even when they got badly tangled. Captain John already had another pole ready and handed it off while he rigged up the tangled mess. I will be using Captain John every time. A very down to earth good guy who knows the business! Jerry Jackson

My family and I were quite overjoyed to have chosen Captain John-Mark Fortner for a guided fishing trip. The boat and equipment were all top notch and very clean. Captain Fortner was very pleasant and enjoyable and his knowledge of the waters and fishing was exceptional. His knowledge of the bay and fishing spots was amazing and we were taken to a bevy of fish. We were aided at every turn with the tackle and gear and no one was ever without assistance or guidance. We cannot wait to return and would encourage anyone to use this service and particularly Captain Fortner for a wonderful excursion in to the bay for an exciting fishing experience. J.W.

Capt John was amazing. My grandson and I booked a 6 hour inshore trip. Capt John had the boat ready when we arrived a little early and we left right away.  We started catching fish right away at the first spot. When the bite slowed down in that spot, we went to another and caught fish there as well. The rest of the day went the same. He cleaned and packaged our fish for us when we returned to the dock.  He was very knowledgeable, personable and accommodating to us throughout the entire trip. Thank you Capt John. We will definitely be a return customer.
