Reel Experience Fishing Charters
Reel Experience Fishing Charters
Take your whole family and embark on an unforgettable fishing adventure together with Reel Experience Fishing Charters. From inshore and nearshore waters to the backcountry, there’s a wide variety of fishing spots you can visit in Palmetto and have a great time chasing many different species. Join Captain Donny Freeman and let him create a wonderful fishing experience in Florida for you and your loved ones!
The boat you’ll be using is a 23’ Custom Hanson. It can sit up to 6 guests and uses a 200 HP Yamaha V6 Saltwater Series engine. Thanks to its GPS, fishfinder, as well as radio technology, the boat will take you to the fish quickly and safely. There’s a wireless trolling motor used for a quieter approach to the fish, a livewell for providing live bait, and an ice box to store your food and drinks.
Using spinning on light tackle, you and Captain Donny will be chasing Gag Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, Snook, Tarpon, Flounder, Spotted Seatrout, and Redfish. You’re free to choose whether you’ll release your catch or keep it. Kids are more than welcome to come aboard, so bring them aboard and enjoy a lovely family trip together.
Captain Donny will supply you with the fishing tackle, live bait, lures, licenses, as well as drinks. Also, he can clean and bag your catch completely free of charge. Yours is just to bring the snacks of your choice and prepare for lots of fun on board.
Book a trip at Reel Experience Fishing Charters and experience the beauties of fishing around Palmetto!

2 Hour inshore “kids trip”
Great experience!
My family and I had an amazing time on this trip. Captain Donny took us to a spot where the fish were biting almost as soon as we threw the line in. He took special time to teach my 6 year old how to cast and reel it in. He even attempted to win over my 3 year old multiple times, even though she was being a sour patch. I 100% recommend this trip and Captain Donny for anyone looking to spend a couple hours on the water with their family. We will book again the next time we visit AMI.

CALL CAPTAIN DONNY!!
Capt. Donny was great. Very nice guy and easy to talk to. Very patient with those who don't fish much. Got us on the fish right away. Moved locations a few times to keep the bite active. My wife is not into fishing but after this trip, she's ready to go again. Thanks Donny!

Great day on the boat
Had an awesome day out on the water with Captain Donny! The forecast called for rough conditions, but he knew exactly where to go to find calmer spots. We ended up catching a nice mix of fish and had a great time. Super chill and knowledgeable—definitely recommend booking with him!
