Captain John Kyp is a US Coast Guard captain with decades of experience fishing Florida's east coast. He's confident in his ability to put you on fish and invites you to join him on a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Prices do not include tips.
Your boat for the day is a 26' Trophy Pro center console equipped with twin 150 HP Suzuki 4-stroke engines capable of getting you to the best fishing spots in no time. She's also outfitted with top-quality fishing gear, safety equipment, and navigational electronics. The boat accommodates 5 guests, including children ages 5 and up.

You can also have Capt. John take you offshore, where you'll combine a bit of trolling and bottom fishing to target big game species. Out here, you'll encounter Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper, and many other prized catches. No matter which trip you choose, Capt. John will customize your trip based on your preferences and do his best to put you on big fish.
Top-of-the-line Penn and Shimano gear as well as your fishing license are included. Feel free to bring snacks and drinks, pack some sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses, and the rest will be taken care of. Join Reel-Axing Fishing Adventures and get ready for an unforgettable day of fishing!

Raymond Parkhurst5.0VerifiedGreat fishing experience
Full Day – Offshore on May 23, 2026 • 4 adultsThe trip felt like fishing with a friend except with all the professional knowledge and skills specific to the ponce area. His fire and Marine rescue background added an extra layer of safety that’s really nice to have offshore. He was very friendly and worked hard on the boat to give us an experience and value for the price. I learned a lot even though I already had some offshore experience. He was very willing to share his knowledge. Can’t wait for the next trip!! Thanks again Capt Jon!!
