About John
“Ahoy, I’m Captain Jed. I have been a 100 ton Master Captain since 2015. I have owned and or operated a large variety of motor vessels from 65’ moto-yachts to a 22’ 600 hp airboat…I never take for granted the importance and our beautiful waterways here in NE Florida and I am constantly learning more about their environment and sustainability and habitat they provide for dolphins, sharks, wild birds, manatees and various species of fish. I am honored to have you and your family/friends on my boat as we navigate the Inter-Coastal and The St John’s Rivers.”
Aboard since 2023

Captain Jed was wonderful, friendly, and accomodating. He spent time talking to dad, the birthday boy and making sure we were all comfortable. Smooth cruise all around.

If you are looking for the absolute best boat experience, look no further! Our trip with Captain John (Jed) was fantastic.
Captain John (Jed) is the true definition of a professional. He was incredibly knowledgeable and extremely patient with us and our many questions. He was a delight. I would highly recommend booking a boat with him.

Captain Dave was awesome. We had the most fun in four hours that you could possibly have. I absolutely recommend Captain Dave and Captain John.

Jed and his first mate Juliana made sure everyone was safe and comfortable and happy! Jed’s knowledge of the area was wonderful- lots of historic information and a great music playlist too! Jed was professional and fun! We had a fantastic day !

Captain John is a great guy! Not only is he knowledgeable about boating and water safety, but he took the time to understand our interests and stopped at all the best spots for our family to jump off the boat and enjoy the water. He played fun music and was super accommodating. I would absolutely hire him again and highly recommend him!

If you are looking for the absolute best boat experience, look no further! From the moment we booked until the second we stepped back onto the dock, our trip with Captain Jed was nothing short of perfection.
Captain Jed is the true definition of a professional. He was incredibly knowledgeable. He was patient with us and tried to teach us how to fish despite our lack of skills :)

We made the best of the day as a group, but the captain made it uncomfortable and unsafe. He let go of the anchor, told someone to jump in after it, then drove the boat while they were in the water. He made multiple inappropriate comments and we believed he was taking photos without asking. He didn’t seem to have a lot of boat awareness and had us handling a lot of the equipment on the boat. Would not recommend.

Captain Jed and his first mate were wonderful, couldn’t ask for a better duo! Would definitely book again!
