Client Reviews

Drop Back Charters

Had a great with Captain Jon and First Mate Craig on February 10. Great mix of species. Amberjack, Almaco Jack, King Mackerel, a beautiful Black Grouper, and a nice Sailfish to finish out the day. I've been fishing with Captain Jon since about 2011 and he is a true professional. He and his crew are very accommodating and will do everything to make your experience a memorable one.

We booked Back Drop Charters based on some Facebook recommendations and it did not disappoint. Jon is first class, very knowledgeable, and will put you on fish. We fished a half day reef and a full day off shore with him and are already looking to book another trip with him. I would highly recommend Drop Back Charters.
