A fisherman for most of his life, Captain Juan always enjoyed fishing with other people and sharing his tips and expertise with others. The natural next step was to become a captain. He did so in 2016 and still gets a thrill every time he’s out on the water, especially when seeing people catch their first fish thanks to his help. The most rewarding thing, for him, is seeing other people catch their daily limit or their dream, big catch.

Why we are different

These shallow waters can be difficult to navigate. Not when you have a 21’ Carolina Skiff, though. This light vessel will stay afloat in pretty much any body of water. Powered by a 150 HP Mercury engine, you’ll speed off along the bay, before the wireless trolling motor helps you steer in the skinny waters. She comes fitted with all the necessary safety equipment, including an EPIRB, and the captain is fully CPR-trained, for that extra peace of mind.

When out on the fish, try bottom dropping, popping the tops, or trolling while you drift along. With the latest Penn rods and reels, you’ll have the best chance of hooking some of these tough-fighting species aboard. Battle it out with the notorious Snook, along with Redfish, and Seatrout. While you’ll also go after a range of tasty fish to fill up your fridge. Take home Sheepshead, Tripletail, Snapper, and Mackerel, among many more.

At the end of your trip, Captain Juan will clean and prepare your catch for you to take home for a delicious dinner, and beyond! With water provided and your license taken care of, all that’s left for you to do is bring some snacks and drinks aboard and get ready for a productive day with Glo#1 Fishing Charters. An incredible day’s inshore fishing in stunning surroundings awaits!

From Our Customers

“An excellent afternoon of fishing with Juan for our party of adults and kids. Juan was very knowledgeable and was going to make sure we had a great fishing experience. He made a recommendation of a restaurant to go and have fry our fish we just caught! What a great day of fishing and perfect meal afterwards! ”

“In recent years, my kids (now 10 and 13) and I have begun doing half day fishing trips wherever we go. Captain Juan gave us a fabulous day on the water! An expert seaman and angler, he knew where to go, and how to hook’em. Helped the little ones and beginners, while at the same time shared wisdom and techniques with the more advanced. He made a day on the water relaxed and a breeze. And, oh yeah, did I mention we caught some fishes? Sheepshead, yellow tailed Jack, black seabass, red snapper, grunt, hammer-head shark, stingrays, oh my. Superfun from launch to landing, including a fileting lesson for the keepers! 🙂 Highly recommend!!!”

“I am a grandmother all about making memories with my family. I booked an all day trip for my 8 year old grand daughter and I just a week in advance thinking it wouldn’t be possible on the holiday. Captain Juan talked with us the day before to review what type of fishing we wanted to do. My grand daughter watches the fishing TV shows and wanted to catch a grouper, sea trout or sheep head. Sea trout weren’t hitting that day but he got her on and landed grouper and sheep head more and kept the entire day exciting. I have done party boat charters and private charters from key west to central Florida multiple times but am thrilled to say we have found our keeper captain. Captain Juan made our day WONDERFUL and we’ll never forget it. He has patience needed for children and has the heart of a teacher about his trade.”
