History
Established in 1993.
The Big John was built by the locals in Destin, the G and S Boat Company. Only 52 were ever made. Big John is the original Mollie. She was the first big boat built by G and S. It was designed to fish and cruise. She rides smooth. Captain Todd Allen ran the boat as Captain from 1993 until October 31, 2022. New owners have bought the boat as is and she will stay in Destin. Todd showed the new owners around the Gulf through the month of October. The new Captain, Chris Michelson has been all around the world as a Captain. He was originally an oil rig Captain bringing supplies to oil rigs and such around the world since 2000. Captain Chris has been a Captain of the boat Relentless here in Destin for many years. He knows where the fish are. Captain Todd and former owners renovated the engines, steering, and added a second generator. The new owners are putting on the lipstick as Todd would say. The Big John will be having new fiberglass, new paint, new cushions, and a new interior.
