about The captain

john jelovich

For over four decades, John has enjoyed Florida’s mesmerizing waters. His journey began in the serene backcountry, where Florida’s nature first captured his heart. Then, about a decade ago, he ventured into the vast offshore waters near Port Charlotte, discovering a whole new world of adventure and wonder.

“Fishing is my passion,” John often says. His dedication led him to pursue formal education, earning his Captain’s license—not just as a qualification, but as a testament to his deep commitment to Florida’s coastal waters.

Based in Port Charlotte, John turned his lifelong passion into a mission to share the indescribable joy and profound serenity he finds offshore. Every charter he runs is rooted in experience, heart, and a true love for the sea.

In John’s words, “There is nothing like the waters offshore.”
