Guided by Jonathan Ray
Deep Sea Nearshore
Captain Jonathan is a top-rated fishing charter captain from Shalimar, FL. Prior to launching his fishing business he served honorably in the United States Army. Captain Jonathan served in the Army for fifteen years and was medically discharged after receiving a purple heart in Afghanistan. When he came back to the states all he could think about was launching a fishing business of his own.
Captain Jon was raised by a fishing family. His grandfather was a highly regarded deep sea fishing charter captain in the Destin, Florida area. When John returned home after serving in the Army he came across a book passed down by his grandfather. In that book was a list of GPS coordinates marking his grandfather's favorite Deep Sea fishing spots off of Destin and Fort Walton Beach. Jon fished those secret spots handed down from his grandfather and further developed his deep sea fishing skills and ultimately launched a successful fishing charter business of his own near Destin FL.
To this day, Captain Jon loves fishing the same spots his grandfather did and seeing the excitement on the faces of his guests as they hook into fish like Mahi Mahi and Red Snapper. His enthusiasm for fishing is what sets him apart from others in the area. He has dedicated his life to helping others fulfill their dreams of catching the big one. Even if it is your first time holding a rod, his high level of knowledge and experience will help you connect with some seriously huge fish! He uses different fishing techniques such as Trolling, Light Tackle, Deep Sea Fishing, Jigging, and a lot more.
He has a 34' Tiara sportfishing boat which he uses to fish. This vessel is your perfect boat to go offshore. It will allow you to reach all of the best secret fishing spots near Destin and Fort Walton Beach quickly and comfortable. Captain Jon can take up to six guests on board on every trip.
Have the time of your life Deep Sea fishing with captain Jon in Destin and Fort Walton Beach!

Capt John was absolutely amazing and we will be contacting him again when we come back for another great adventure. The weather was cold, windy, rough and going in was never suggested. He did anything and everything he could to make this trip a success and man did he deliver. Thank you Capt John for an unforgetable day on the water. Can't wait for round two!! …
