Captain Jonny’s Charters in Pompano Beach

Captain Jonny's Charters combines fishing with a wider choice of private boat outings in Pompano Beach. Captain Jonathan Featherston runs the service aboard a 25-foot Dusky center console. His approach suits a group that wants its own boat and a day planned around its interests.

Contact and booking details

Meet Captain Jonathan Featherston

Jonathan, known as Captain Jonny, traces his interest in boating to trips with his father. His background includes fishing and boating on lakes, rivers and coastal waters. His biography describes training at Sea School in Fort Lauderdale before obtaining his Coast Guard captain's license.

The business is family owned and welcomes children. Jonny also points out local wildlife and features of the Intracoastal Waterway. That makes the outing useful for guests who enjoy learning about the coast as well as catching fish.

Fishing choices and the boat

Fishing excursions cover both inshore and offshore water. The operator lists pompano, sailfish, mahi, mackerel, tarpon, jacks and snapper among its local fishing interests. These are possible targets across different settings. A single trip will not necessarily pursue every species.

The 25-foot Dusky carries private groups of up to six guests. Ask how many people can actively fish on the trip you choose. An offshore expedition and a protected-water outing can involve different travel, tackle and comfort needs.

Choose the length and style of your day

The website offers two-hour, three-hour, half-day, three-quarter-day and full-day excursions. It also lists sunset cruises, sandbar visits, scenic Intracoastal tours and dock-to-dine outings. Catering can be discussed in advance.

Tell the team whether fishing is the main purpose or part of a celebration. A birthday outing, family trip or proposal cruise needs a different schedule from a dedicated fishing day. The published shop displays zero-dollar placeholders, so obtain an actual quote rather than treating those entries as free trips.

Equipment and personal items

Rods, reels, bait and tackle are advertised with fishing trips. The operator also offers filleting and can suggest somewhere to cook the catch. A cooler, ice and bottled water are listed for private cruises. Confirm the fishing-license arrangements and the exact inclusions for your selected excursion.

Pack sun protection and light clothing suitable for an open center console. Ask about shade, restroom access and arrangements for young children. Let Jonny know about mobility concerns before reserving, since boarding at a public ramp can require planning.
