Cruise Fish Dive Reel1Up
Cruise Fish Dive Reel1Up
Cruise Fish Dive offers various fishing adventures in Southwest Florida. Charters can range from fishing, scuba diving, and combo tours. Their fleet of vessels is equipped with the best quality gear to tackle all types of fishing and diving. Offshore boats are equipped with a marine head while backwater vessels are smaller, open boats to allow room for casting but are typically a short drive to a restroom facility if required.
The crew offers a variety of trips from long-range deep sea trips where you'll be able to harvest different species of fish, to offshore trips that stay within 9 miles from the coast that are catch and release. You will have the opportunity to explore the artificial and natural reefs, wrecks, and bottom structures, targeting species such as Barracuda, Grouper, Spanish Mackerel, Permit, Tarpon, Sheepshead, Snook, Snapper, and Shark. All charters within 15 miles of shore are catch and release in order to keep our reef systems healthy due to years of red tides and fishing pressure we have been experiencing. Our goal is to provide an amazing trip and educational experience for all of our guests for years to come. We survey the reefs weekly on our dive trips to keep track of the health of our ecosystem as well as to provide our guests with the best chance at catching big fish.
No smoking, drugs or hard alcohol allowed, but you're welcome to bring beer/wine, soft drinks and vapes.
You are covered for all the fishing gear, bait, licenses, as well as water.

If you want to actually catch fish, relax, and have a genuinely great time on the water, this is exactly it. From the start, the focus was on making sure everyone was engaged, learning, and reeling something in. No pressure, no ego-just a fun, easygoing atmosphere where Captain Brian clearly cared more about the experience than the size of the catch. And honestly, that made it better. We caught plenty of fish, stayed busy, and had a lot of laughs along the way. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and knew how to keep things moving so nobody was just sitting around waiting. Whether you’re experienced or brand new, they meet you where you are and make sure you enjoy it. At the end of the day, we left with great memories, plenty of action, and zero stress about who caught the biggest fish. That’s a win in my book. Highly recommend if you want a fun, laid-back fishing trip that delivers.
Captain Brian was excellent!!! Communication prior to trip with meeting location, time and details were appreciated. He was excellent with our kids (16,15,14) Captian Brian was thorough at explaining things and so fun to be around. I particularly appreciate that he was family oriented and worked so hard to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoyed the trip. He targeted specific areas to catch different species and we had great success! Our family really enjoyed our trip and would certainly look them up again when we’re in town and looking for a charter.
Cpt. Brian is Great! He was a very good host! He helped me with my three boys and made the day about their experience and satisfaction! I am very thankful for that! For anyone looking for an experienced Captain that knows the area seach no further. Give Cpt Brian a call for all your fishing needs!
1st, shout out to Captain Brian. He was so great. This was our first fishing trip and he totally led us through a day of fun. My husband and our 20 year old son had the best Christmas gift spending 5 hours on the water, catching fish and learning a lot of valuable knowledge. Great experience for the money. All the dolphins were an unexpected surprise for this Momma.
Caught 9 different species (38 total) during our 6 hour back bay trip. Captain Barry keeps you baited, good conversation and moves areas if the bite dies or isn’t happening. Follow his instructions and you’ll be fine. Both of us are experienced anglers so we made it a easy day for him.
