I've fished a lot of places with a lot of charters, and Reel Vibes was one of the best ever! For starters, Stephen and Dougie are awesome! Great people to spend a day on the water with in the first place, but theyre also so knowledgeable about what to fish where. We started off slow as sometimes the ocean just does what it wants, but Stephen had us switch up some stuff and we landed over a dozen queen snapper! Then the ocean woke up, we got tuna, doubled up on mahi, and finished the day with a barracuda. Couldn't have asked for better and to top it off, the restaurant at the yacht club cooked our catch for us. Highly recommend a day fishing with Reel Vibes!!!
We had a fantastic experience with Stephen and Joey. Although high winds kept us from going deep sea fishing, Stephen quickly shifted the plan to reef fishing and a stop to swim with the stingrays—and it turned out to be an incredible day. We caught several fish, including a rare (for reef fishing) hogfish. Landing it was no easy feat—it buried itself in the coral after being hooked, making it nearly impossible to reel in. Joey didn't hesitate—he threw on his snorkeling gear, dove down, and freed the line from the coral. My son was then able to bring it in, and we had it cooked at Morgan's that evening for dinner! We wrapped up with a truly memorable stingray experience. Joey caught one and shared a fascinating overview of stingrays, and we each had the chance to hold it—something that drew a crowd of onlookers in awe jealous they weren't able to have the same experience. I highly recommend Reel Vibes to anyone looking for a private charter as Stephen and Joey are great people!
Captain Stephen was great. Unfortunately fishing was slow, but he checked with several other captains out that day (hoping to find fish) and nobody had a bite on the island. As we booked the combo trip, we pivoted to snorkeling and had a great time exploring one of the islands reefs and were able to experience stingray city. Stephen jumped in the water and helped us hold and feed stingrays, and even brought us fresh mango picked from his home to have as a snack on the trip. Overall great experience and would book with him again.
Took my 14-year-old son out with Captain Clayton for his birthday and it was perfect. We jumped on the spotless Reel Addiction, cruised through Grand Cayman's insane turquoise water, and within an hour my son was battling a big barracuda, his birthday fish! Clayton coached him through the fight, snapped photos, and kept the whole trip fun and relaxed. Boat was perfect, gear top-notch, cold drinks flowing. Worth every penny. Captain Clayton turned a fishing trip into an unforgettable 14th birthday memory. Highly recommend!
Capt. Stephen was exceptional. He took us bottom fishing where we caught enough fish which we enjoyed ater at Morgan's Restaurant right in the marina. We also enjoyed snorkeling at Rum Point reef and ended the trip with the Stingray city experience. Perfect day! You won't be disappointed with Reef Vibes Charters.

Hi my name is Stephen – a born and bred Caymanian. I come from a long line of ocean lovers and most of my family have made a living from the sea in one way or another. From a very young age l began to see the same love for the ocean developing in me just as it had in my grandfather and his sons over the years. I took every opportunity I could to venture out on the water with them, and that is where I felt most at home. Today this passion has proven to be my 'first love.' Being on the ocean and reeling in the big ones just makes my day, so it is only fitting that when I can put my guests on the fish, it makes me equally as happy – and I know they are, because I can see it in their smiles every time.
