Best choice
4 Hour Trip–Inshore/Offshore (PM) on July 31, 20255 adults

Captain Jack was a great choice! From his friendly and inviting demeanor, to his impressive knowledge of the area , he had us captivated. He took us out to his favorite spot and we set out our lines. Another captain reported to him that they had been there for 45 minutes and hadn’t gotten a bite. Within 20 minutes we had 3 fish on the boat and the other captain frustrated. We had a great day on the water catching fish and enjoying each other. And to make the day better we saw dolphins at the dock! We can’t wait to come back next year for more adventures!

Fishing in Windy Conditions
4 Hour Trip – Inshore or Offshore on April 27, 20263 adults

Captain Jack was great. Very knowledgeable and very engaging. He made sure we made the best of not so great weather conditions. Caught three different types of sharks and the blacktip shark was the best as it ran about 100 yards from the boat and jumped out of the water 3 times. Highly recommend Reel Charters.
