Captain Jack and his experienced friendly Jesse James crew welcome you aboard for a great day on the water in beautiful Islamorada, also known as the Fishing Capital of the World.
Jesse James is a versatile state of the art Everglades 365 vessel comfortably equipped for 6 anglers at all levels. With ample seating, electric reel and expanded live wells, for bait and catch, we can take the hard-core fisherman to a new level. We excel in hands on guidance and instruction to catch Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, Tuna, as well as deeper drop (300ft to 600ft) for Vermillion Snapper and Snowy Grouper, as well as, other deep water fish species. Every deep water outing brings the possibility of wrangling a SWORD Fish, Marlin, Sharks, Cobia or other Sport Fish. We are committed to making your Sport Fishing trip as productive as possible, taking into account that adverse weather and No fish in area can limit catch quantity. We troll the Reef and Gulf Stream for the best fishing opportunities each day to target your personalized outing. Jesse James is a powerful luxury ride with a knowledgeable crew making us equally versatile for both sport fishing and/or family charter for the novice angler and occasional cruiser. Captain Jack has 40 years of experience on the Atlantic coastal waters. He likes nothing more than sharing his love of boating and passion for the sport, all making for a memorable day and guaranteed bucket list experience!
