Reel Fishing SWFL Charters

Reel Fishing SWFL Charters warmly welcomes you to Florida! Our fishing charter service guarantees a memorable experience on the water. Discover why our charter has been featured on local TV news stations and recognized as one of the best fishing experiences in Southwest Florida!

Our Captain is dedicated to ensuring you have a fun-filled day of fishing and adventure. We primarily target Snook, Redfish, Snapper, Tarpon, Jack Crevalle, and Speckled Seatrout, depending on the season and conditions. Expect to use various techniques like light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, jigging, popping, and spinning to effectively catch your dream fish.

Your fishing adventure begins on a 21-foot Skeeter center console, safely accommodating up to 4 anglers on inshore trips. The boat provides ample storage, ice boxes, a 30-gallon livewell, LED 360 lighting for comfortable night fishing, a music stereo, and over 10 rod holders.

We supply premium rods, reels, terminal tackle, and bait. Your trip includes all necessary fishing licenses for the day. At the end of the trip, the Captain will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home. The boat is stocked with water, so all you need to bring is a snack.

Reel Fishing SWFL Charters is thrilled to host you and looks forward to seeing you on the water soon!
