John Benevento

John Benevento is a management professional with a love of commercial fishing. He now wants to start a modest charter boat business after decades of working in the parking management sector in New Jersey and New York. John is forging his future by combining his professional skills with his passion for the ocean and fishing.

John Benevento has a long history of being around water and fishing. In Wellington, Florida, where he grew up, he spent most of his boyhood fishing. Wellington is a West Palm Beach coastal hamlet noted for world-class horse competitions and charter boat fishing.

"Wellington is the type of spot where you can fish for a week and never employ the same method," John says. There's something for everyone, from landing a 200-pound pelagic tuna on a choppy sea to catching a similarly enthusiastic smallmouth bass in calm seas."
