Lifetime of memories in a day !!!
3/4 Day (PM) 6hr Trip–Offshore on April 19, 2025 • 4 adults

We had an amazing day with captain ryan !!! He was so knowledgeable and taught us so many things. All but one of us was our first time fishing. We all caught fish in spite of our inexperience thanks to captain Ryan’s guidance. We went beyond our limit of keeping them, so we had quite a few catch and releases which made the day incredibly exciting. Not only did we catch fish on our very first time we saw some amazing wildlife thanks to Ryan’s keen eye. Sea turtles, sharks, dolphins and even a whale that broached around our boat several times. Captain ryan stayed on top of our every request and needs. At times I thought he was three people managing all of it so well. Thank you Captain Ryan for memories that will last a lifetime for my family.

    We had an awesome time with Reel Adventures Fishing Charters. Captain Ryan put us on some nice bull reds and really worked hard to keep us on the fish. He accommodated our group of six easily, kept things fun, and moved around to several spots trying different baits until we were back on the bite. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the whole trip was a great experience. Highly recommend Captain Ryan if you’re looking for a solid day on the water!

    Captain Ryan was so helpful from the first message and kept everything relaxed. We had three small children from ages 6-10 who were so excited about the experience and were not disappointed. Every single one of us caught fish. After the trip, Captain Ryan cleaned our giant Kingfish for us and even directed us where to go get it cooked. Everything was excellent. Highly recommend.

    We did a 4 hour deep sea charter with Ryan, he was very knowledgeable about the different types of fish we were trying to catch. We caught 2 King Mackerel, one was 15 lbs and the other was close to 40-45 lbs. We had a ton of fun!!!
