Reel Time Charters is a family-friendly outfit that always puts safety first and fun at a close second. As long as these two conditions are met, the fish arrive on deck in no time! Captain Cody Garner's passion is taking people out to see what goes on in the ocean and his guests' smiling faces are what keeps him going. This charter does it all – from catching Spanish Mackerel on the beach to chasing pelagic game fish in the Gulf Stream!

The vessel that will take you to your desired fishing grounds is a 31' custom Carolina saltwater fishing boat. Featuring a 220 HP Isuzu inboard diesel, all the necessary safety equipment, electronic systems for navigation and fish finding, as well as a private toilet, the boat will serve as a safe and comfortable fishing platform for your entire group, allowing you a fun and productive time on the water.

The captain will provide you with everything you'll need to fish. You'll be equipped with top-notch Avet and Shimano rods and reels, bait, and lures. Your fishing license is also covered by the charter, so all you need to focus on is putting the fish in the boat. Up to 6 anglers can join all the trips, including kids of all ages. However, only 4 guests can fish at the same time.

It's recommended to be at the meetup location 15-20 minutes prior to the trip. Free parking will be available, as well as shops opening at 6:00 am, and a 24/7 gas station nearby. Things you should bring aboard with you are a cooler with drinks and snacks, sunscreen, and sunglasses. The first mate will be present on all trips to assist you. He works for tips and the suggested gratuity rate is 20%. Fish cleaning is available after the trip for $1.00 per pound.

All that remains for you to do is to pick out a date, check the captain's availability, and book your next fishing adventure!

12 Hour Trip – Gulf Stream on July 5, 20254 adults
Great trip. We beat the tropical storm by a day and took full advantage of it. Cody ran that whole boat like an expensive watch. He warned of the pending wind and rain and the waves proved him right, but we fought thru it and made life long memories for my son and his friends, and of course me! His boat ran thru those waves like a hot knife thru butter. We set out some goals of Wahoo and Mahi but were going to be happy with whatever we caught. He made it all happen with those and some barracuda and tuna to boot! Thanks Cody!! You rocked it and we look forward to the next trip!
