Ron MetcalfRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat captain and crew!
Offshore fishing on April 14, 2026 • 4 adultsWe gad a great time and caught nice size swordfish. Captain John and his crewmate Ross were knowlegeble and skilled fisherman
William WhiteRepeat angler5.0VerifiedYellowfin Tuna Baby!
Offshore fishing on March 22, 2025 • 5 adultsWow it was a beautiful day in the water but the bite was a little slow and the barracudas kept cutting us off , but Caption John and Eddie kept focused on the task and got us some beautiful yellowfin’s on our trip. Our diary time catching these fish. What a fight and one of most delicious fish in the sea. Pelican charters was first rate all the way. I definitely recommend this crew.
Tyler ColvinRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFull day with Captain John
Offshore fishing on May 6, 2023 • 6 adultsHaving booked with fishing booked before, i can say that John (and Katie) are the best people I’ve dealt with on this site. Both made it incredibly easy to get everything set up at time of booking, week out, day before, etc. We were in town for a bachelor party and wanted to put the groom on some fish. John and Reno wasted no time getting bait and then getting us out to the fish. Within an hour and a half of dropping lines in, the box was full and we were headed back home. Got caught in a little weather on the run in but it’s offshore fishing, that’s going to happen. Both captain and mate were personable, funny, knowledgeable and helpful. I’ve been on plenty of charters and they were some of my favorite people to fish with. I’ll definitely be back to fish with pelican charters!
Cameron EtieRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Fish, Great Crew!
Offshore fishing on October 26, 2024 • 6 adultsJohn and Katie were an awesome team! In spite of rough seas and slow fishing, they would NOT stop trying to put us on something! I told them before we left I wanted a billfish more than anything and that’s what we ended up getting. Totally recommend them as well as their lodge!
Shelby BarbierRepeat angler5.0VerifiedSlow start but exciting finish!
Offshore fishing on November 25, 2024 • 5 adultsCaptain and crew worked hard to get bait in the morning. We searched for tuna all day but it wasn’t until almost dusk that we finally hooked up with a yellowfin. After a short 5 minutes my 16yo son boated his largest catch, a 160lb yellowfin!
Ross Thompson5.0VerifiedCaptain John and Reno

Brent Rockley5.0VerifiedFull day with captain Jon
Offshore fishing on February 24, 2023 • 6 adultsGreat trip! 6 old friends on one boat through some fog in the morning. Everyone caught blackfins and we got so close to hooking some jumbos. Sharks added another level to the challenge. Trolled around towards the end and capped the charter with a really nice wahoo! The crew worked so hard and were passionate about getting us on fish…mission accomplished! Highly recommend.
