Captain John

Growing up on the water in Sarasota, Florida Captain John was fishing by the time he could walk. After a first trip to Big Pine Key in 1974 to attend New Found Harbor Marine Institute, John spent every Summer break fishing and diving the waters of the Florida Keys.

After spending most of his early summers fishing and diving he decided to make a career out of diving. In 1982 he attended Florida Institute of Technology and received two degrees,
one in underwater technology and the other in sport diving education.

While attending F.I.T. John started working in the sport fishing industry out of Sewals Point, in the heart of sailfish alley aboard the charter boat, Cracker Jack. John brought those skills with him to the Florida Keys. While still going to F.I.T. John moved to Little Torch Key, Florida in 1984.

After working several years as a full time diving instructor, John established his charter company in 1988. Captain John also taught marine science with Marine Sciences Under Sail. A few years later the flats boat was added to the operation in order to offer all types of Keys fishing.

Over the years the SCUBA diving segment of the in water operation has been phased out leaving only the snorkeling and skin diving, This allowed him to concentrate heavily on fishing.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is the home of over 1500 Damn Good fishing and hunting guides. Our mission is to unlock the outdoors for everyone, and we want to help you get out there through our no-hassle online booking experience and our team of outdoors experts.
We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.
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 case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.
Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.
Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
