I am an avid inshore fisherman from Myrtle Beach, SC. For the last 7 years we have been either renting a boat, or taking our own boat. Well NO MORE. One trip with Capt. Jon and Mate Ryan and I am hooked. We were the first to leave the dock due to Capt. Jon being fueled and ready when we... More

This was my third trip on the Drop Back, and it was at least as good as the first two! My husband and I fished with Capt Jon and Ryan, and caught quite a few Mahi Mahi as well as tuna, beating out the other boats with our haul. With my and my husband's split in fishing experience, Jon and... More

2 reviews in 1. I am a very experienced fisherman and live in south Florida. My brother knows how to fish but has never been on a charter or fished in Florida. My 2 friends have about the same split of experience. We booked the drop back for a 6 hour trip for my bachelor party. First Jon learned every... More

Before booking the Drop Back, we scouted the docks for a few days just to see how the April fishing was going to be like this year. We noticed, the "Drop Back" had, by far, caught the most fish every day we visited. After talking to Capt Jon for a few minutes, I knew he would be a great choice... More

We really enjoyed having you fish with us Greg. The Sailfish were great to catch, but you forgot to mention that you also caught a couple of nice Mutton Snapper, Kingfish, Dolphin, Tuna and released a couple of Grouper....in other words, you had a heck of a fishing day!! We look forward to having you join us again when you... More

I've been on numerous different charter boats and I have to say I've had a better time on this charter than any other. The captain and crew on this yacht aren't your typical old crusty retired captains that do the bare minimum...these are younger, very well experienced fishermen who work and will do anything to get you on some fish!...

As a "first timer" I was a little weary but Captain John and First Mate Ryan reassured me not only about my safety but that we would be catching a lot of fish! Low and Behold the very first fish my husband caught was a humongous Mahi-Mahi! Then it was smooth sailing for the rest of the day, literally! We... More

They say go BIG or go home! I guess starting off with that fish was your way of telling me to stay out there. It was a beautiful day and a complete blast fishing with you guys! Can't wait to do it again in July! Captain Jon More

Captain Jon and First Mate Ryan were professional and personable. We had a superb experience and they "worked" to make our trip worthy of cost and so fun. We were able to get our limit of Mahi Mahi! We certainly recommend Drop Back Charters. I am a novice and felt welcomed and assisted as needed. My husband has been on... More

Everything seemed to come together for us that day. We were excited to finally get Jerry a day he could fish and I'm glad the schedule worked out where you were able to join us too and catch all those fish. Thanks for the great review and look forward to you guys joining us again. Captain Jon More

What can we say, just a wonderful day. Started off fast and furious and keep on going. I never knew there was a limit to catching fish on a charter. This crew is the bomb! We were so busy catching fish that only 5 pictures were taken. At times Captain Jon was directing us like a superstar team and prevented... More

My wife and I had a very positive experience fishing with Captain Jon. We went on a 3/4 day charter for dolphin. He was professional, knowledgeable, and helped us find and land some large fish. His boat was in pristine condition, extremely clean, and his mate Ryan was hardworking and on top of things. I recommend Capt Jon and Drop... More
