Jus Chillin Charters Customer Reviews

Captain Chris was incredible. He’s extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and he really knows his fish and the local waters. He was friendly, patient, and great with kids. The whole trip was a home run. Catching a shark was on my bucket list, so thank you, Chris — that moment meant a lot. My 8-year-old hasn’t stopped talking about the trip and everything he learned. I could go on and on about how amazing the experience was. A solid 10/10. Thank you for the memories we’ll carry for years.

Captain Christian was fantastic. He made the entire trip relaxing and fun, and we all caught a nice variety of fish. He really paid attention to what we needed and made sure everyone felt comfortable. The boat isn’t your typical charter setup, but it ended up being perfect for our family — lots of seating and plenty of space to fish. Honestly, I liked it even more than the usual center consoles. I’d absolutely book with him again.

This trip was everything my family needed and more. It wasn’t just a fishing trip — it was an experience we’ll remember for a lifetime. We caught all kinds of fish, from stingrays and pufferfish to sharks, and the captain knew exactly what he was doing the whole time. I watched my oldest light up like a kid again, a smile I haven’t seen in years. That alone made the day worth it. We’ll be back every time we’re in Florida, no question. For a fishing boat, it was incredibly clean — no mess anywhere, and we felt comfortable sitting wherever we wanted. On top of the fishing, we enjoyed about 40 minutes of relaxing boat time, taking in the views while the captain brought us to different spots. This trip will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you, Captain. And thank you from the entire Butler family.

From the moment I started looking into booking with Cristian, I had a feeling we were in for a great time — and I was right. He answered every question and eased every concern before our trip. It was a surprise Father’s Day and anniversary gift, and he helped make it perfect. Cristian is a truly skilled captain. He runs the boat like a pro and handles every situation with patience and respect. He took us straight to the spots where the fish were biting, and trust me... you’re going to catch some FA-ISH! You’ll get it once you reel one in with him. A few things to pack: • A hat with a drawstring • Long sleeves with a hood • Waterproof phone holder • Sweet snacks • Sunscreen • Long shorts or loose pants • Water shoes (not flip-flops!) • A small face or hand towel Cristian covers everything else. It’s a blast from start to finish — just book ’em!

We’ve tried several fishing charters in Daytona Beach, but this was by far the best experience we’ve ever had. Captain Christian is a true professional and one of the most genuine, kind, and personable people I’ve met. His knowledge of the area was impressive, and he put us on a great mix of ocean fish — including two sharks, which we were really hoping for. The highlight of the day was watching my 6-year-old son, who is high-functioning autistic, reel in a 3-foot Bonnethead shark. Christian made him feel so proud, and that moment is something he’ll remember for the rest of his life. Thank you, Captain, for giving our family a memory we’ll never forget. You’re a special person, and we’re grateful for the experience.

We went on this charter and had an amazing day! He was great! Couldn’t have asked for a better captain. I highly recommend booking with Christian. I will definitely be booking again in the future! My wife and I caught plenty thanks to Christian!

Chad S, Thank you! You folks were awesome. Looking forward to our next trip.

We went out fishing with Christian Ortiz, and it was an absolute blast. From the first cast to the last reel-in, the vibes were on point. 🎣🔥 Dude knows everything about the local fish—seriously, it felt like getting a guided tour of the water. Learned so much, laughed a ton, and caught some solid fish along the way. Just one of those days where everything clicks. 🐟☀️ If you're ever thinking of hitting the water and want someone who knows their stuff and keeps it fun the whole time, Christian’s your guy. 10/10 day. 🙌

Had an amazing time fishing with Christian! We caught this shark from the shore and released it afterward. So much fun!
