Juan G.

Independent Guide
Capt Juan was born and raised in beautiful Puerto Rico where the pristine Caribbean water was his playground. Since Capt Juan was in diapers he already had a fishing rod in hand spending as much time in the water as on land and building a passion for fishing and water sports that is as strong now as it's ever been. He fished both the inshore and offshore waters of Puerto Rico where he started building a vast amount off knowledge of sport fishing in both inshore waters and off shore.

As a young man Capt Juan joined the US Navy where he was station in California onboard the USS MT. Vernon. After traveling the world and learning about seamanship it was time to move on and seek a higher education. Capt Juan moved to Rhode Island where he enrolled at Johnson and Whales University and graduated with high honors and two degrees, one in Hospitality Management and the other in Travel and Tourism Management. Somehow Capt Juan found time to guide part time on the waters of Narragansset Bay for Striped Bass and giant Bluefish.

It was in Rhode Island that Capt Juan met his wife Kelley, a beautiful country girl from Chichester, New Hampshire. After graduation they both started working at the Cheeca Lodge and Spa in Islamorada, Florida Keys. It was then that Capt Juan decided that it was time to seek his real passion, fishing! Capt Juan is an easygoing, fun family man. There is nothing that Capt Juan loves more than sharing his passion for the water with his anglers. In 2008 our family was blessed with our first son Tony and two years later our second son Jimmy joined our family. Capt Juan is currently the Florida Sportsman Magazine weekend fishing forecaster for the Florida Keys backcountry and has been featured in the Florida Sportsman TV show and Florida Sportsman Magazine.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
