  I’ve taken a lot of boat tours in my life, and this one was at the top of the heap! We had an afternoon to burn at Ponce Inlet... read more and we took the 2-hour tour with Captain Josh. It was just my family of 5, including 3 girls and Josh was awesome at keeping everyone entertained. When he asked us what we wanted to do, I told him, just do your thing, we’re good with any trip! He did not disappoint!

We saw the inlet up close and got a great rundown of local geography and history. Josh was awesome at pointing out points of interest on land and the water. Then he put us right on the dolphins. We saw so many, we lost count. My kids went bonkers when we spotted some baby dolphins. Being a private tour (the only way to go), Josh was able to get us up close and personal to the dolphins and was very knowledgeable about dolphins in general.

We finished up with a stop to fill our pockets up with shells and our two hours were up before we knew it. Josh had some great commentary on the houses and marinas in the area. His boat handling skills were excellent and he is a very personable guide. Overall, we were all very happy with our tour. When we come back to Ponce, we’re looking him up!

We started out and it was wonderful as usual. Found a spot to fish and we fished and fished some more. Sister caught the first one, and son caught several, grandsons also caught some. Some of us didn't but it's alright. Everyone didn't want to bait the hook so Gina helped them. I started to bait my own then my sister did it was great. After we fished we did some island hopping, we wanted to find sand dollars which we didn't, lots of sea shells. Overall great day we had a lot of fun. I'll always recommend Ponce to everyone that stays in or near Daytona. Thanks again Ponce for a wonderful time. The Westphal Family

  First off, you have a real treasure in Captain John! He was awesome, funny, informative, he was great with my 2 and 7 year old! He MADE our... read more trip! We did the two hour private charter for backwater fishing and it was fun!

We started off by applying sunscreen to my son which “burned” his eyes. John immediately swung over to a sand bar and told Aiden to Cannonball off the boat and swim for a bit to clean his eyes.

He then took us to his secret spot where we caught 4 different species of fish. Without batting an eye made sure everyone was having a great time even the two year old when she got fussy. We never waited to have baited hooks and he didn’t say a word when I caught a few “ tree bass”.

We ended our two hours with sand dollar hunting on a sand bar. He even rushed us back to dock so we could beat a storm that was rolling in.

This trip was amazing and a heck of a value compared to ever other charter service I priced out. You can’t go wrong with these people!

Thank you again, we are already planning our next trip for next year!
