Inshore fishing has the wonderful feature of being both relaxing and incredibly thrilling! Join Captain Mark Reeves as he takes you on an unforgettable fishing adventure in the beautiful waters of Crystal River.
Climb aboard his 2021, 24' custom-built Pro-Line boat. Her design allows for up to 4 anglers to fish at the same time, in comfort, without bumping elbows. Don't worry about travel times, as her 150 HP Yamaha outboard engine and sleek hull design allow her to speed along at a maximum cruising speed of 32 knots.
Capt. Mark will take you fishing all around Crystal River. On his trips, you can head off into the inshore waters and battle Bull Redfish or head into the deep blue sea, where you'll bottom fish for tasty Red Snapper. For anglers who want to flex their muscles, the Cobia will prove a worthy opponent. A flybridge will help you spot them as well as other top-lurking species. You can also target Spotted Seatrout, Goliath Grouper, Tripletail, and whatever else you run into!
Kids are more than welcome with Cast N Reel Fishing Charters, but the minimum age is 5 and above. The captain can provide snorkeling equipment for extra fun when going scalloping, but customers should contact him in advance so he can get it ready.
Capt. Mark also offers pickup services from local motels, if he can reach it with his boat. Head straight from your room to reel-screaming action! Customers should bring sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, adequate clothing, and a waterproof camera to take pictures of their trophy catch.
So book a trip with Cast N Reel Fishing Charters and get set for a fun fishing experience, for both the avid angler and the fun-loving family!

Therese (Terri) BurleyRepeat angler5.0VerifiedWhat a GREAT Captain!
Full Day Trip - MAX 4 People on January 14, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Mark was a VERY good choice for us. His knowledge of the waters in and around Crystal River was extensive. WEe caught fish, and, yes, evan a Pelican that was released safely with no harm. Capt. Mark shared his expertise and his favorite fish stories that entertained us all day. The members in our party are avid and experienced fishing people, and ALL of us were VERY satisfied and WILL be returning to him again.

Half Day Trip (AM) - 4 Anglers Max on December 22, 2025 • 2 adultsMy husband and I had a great time out with Captain Mark! He patiently taught me how to cast, and let me reel in a couple big ones he hooked as well. He cleaned and harvested our fish for us after an awesome day out and sent us home with days of fish dinner and a story for a lifetime.

Inshore off shore combo on March 31, 2026 • 2 adultsMy son and I had a great time with Captain Mark. Trout, Grouper, Snook, Redfish, Flounder and more... a very successful day of fishing due to the captain's knowledge of the area. Meeting him and getting on the boat couldn't have been more convenient. Highly recommend!

Full Day Trip - MAX 4 People on March 20, 2026 • 2 adultsThe fishing conditions were less than ideal, however Captain Mark used his vast experience to find us plenty of keeper fish. Other less experienced guides were struggling to put any fish in the boat. I would recommend to anyone looking for a good fishing experience.
Ashleigh Stocks5.0VerifiedGreat captain and great trip

Great day on the water. I enjoyed fishing with yall. the weather was not the greatest but that didn’t stop us from having a good time.
We took the morning trip with Capt Mark. He's a really nice guy and guide. We could tell from the radio that other boats were not catching much (wind stopped, tides went slack) but our boat was consistently catching until near the end.
it was a great day for sure.
our captain was very knowledgeable of the area and communicated with other captains of where the bite was. We hit 4 to 5 different spots and caught fish at all spots. Fish on fish fry good night
thanks for rhe review had a great time today.
Captain Mark was really great. He had everything we needed to have a successful trip and was incredibly nice and helpful. We look forward to booking with him again next season!
thanks for the great review. You guys done a great job finding your limit and scallops in a short period of time. I was glad to be a part of that. See you next trip. 
Mark did a fantastic trip. He even cleaned the scallops with us! Misty was an excellent first mate and swimmer with us. We definitely recommend booking with Mark.
Steve, what a great on the Water Scalloping with you and your wife. Glad to be a part of it. Happy anniversary
