Spend a relaxing day on the waters of Florida and create memories fishing with Reel Passion Charters. Starting out of Clearwater, you and Captain Nick will explore inshore and nearshore waters up to 9 miles off the coast as well as lovely flats and the backcountry. Captain Nick has been fishing Florida’s West Coast for as long as he can remember and will provide you with a trip to remember. Join him aboard and have a terrific time catching fish!

Your boat for the day will be a beautifully restored 25’ Privateer bay boat. It’s powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine and can sit up to 5 anglers. The boat is equipped with a fishfinder, radio, as well as GPS for efficient navigation, a wireless trolling motor, second station, and a livewell. Also, there’s an ice-box you can use for storing your drinks and fish.

There are some great species you’ll encounter on your sea journey, some of them being Redfish, snook, Tarpon, Gag Grouper, Spotted Seatrout, and Sheepshead. You’ll use light tackle bottom fishing and spinning to attract them and you’re free to keep all the fish that doesn’t require releasing. Kids are always welcome, so feel free to bring them on your adventure.

Your trip will include all the rods, reels, tackle, live bait, fishing licenses, drinks, as well as catch cleaning. The only thing left for you to bring is whatever food you like.

Come spend a day with Reel Passion Charters and enjoy the beauty of fishing in Florida!

Nick was was great with our family
3 hour fishing trip 12-3 pm on January 1, 20263 adults2 children
Unfortunately a cold front gad hit but Nick was flexible and honest and changed it to another day! He made sure we caught fish! He was patient with our 3 kids and made sure we all had a great time! His knowledge of the area was very helpful. He gave us a great recommendation on where to take the fish we caught to be cooked for us. Will definitely book with Nick again!

We got a Shark
4 Hour Trip – Sunset on August 3, 20255 adults
Being from the Midwest we never did any sea fishing so this experience was very new to us. Captain Nick was knowledgeable and got us on some smaller fish right away. My teenage girls were having a blast catching them with every cast. We then decided to try for a shark and my wife landed a 4’ hammer head which was such an intense and fun moment for all of us. This will be a memory our family will never forget.
