Oh my gosh what an awesome experience!

5 Hour Trip (PM) on June 25, 2025 • 5 adults

We booked Reel Grace for a first time deep sea fishing trip and had no idea what to expect. Once booked, Cliff, the captain reached out to me several times with tips on the trip and even texted weather updates for our day of fishing. The communication was excellent! Our 5 hour trip was indescribable. We caught red snapper, trigger fish, and other types, but our absolute favorite was the bull shark we snagged!! It was the most exhilarating experience and made available to us because Cliff was spot on with his finding the right fishing spots on the ocean. Austin was awesome with keeping us stocked with bait and helping us when we would get tangled up and even provided help in reeling the shark close to the boat for pictures! Cliff and Austin were the absolute best! We loved their positive attitudes! They were as excited about our trip as we were! The air conditioned cabin was perfect! Thanks, Cliff and Austin, for all you did in making the trip so memorable! Way to go! Randy, Sherry, Kasey, Brody, Rilee, and Jack

This is our second time aboard the Reel Grace and we have had a WONDERFUL time both times! Our 7 year old son and 5 year old daughter had the best time and love learning about the boat and the fish! Captain Cliff was more than happy to answer all the questions from our 7 year old who wants to know everything! We caught so many fish and had a blast! 10/10 highly recommended.

Fantastic adventure

5 Hour Trip (PM) on August 23, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 children

What a great day - Captain Cliff and Austin were so kind and patient with a bunch of novices, and we all had a blast! Conditions were not great on our originally scheduled day, so I really appreciated their flexibility and being able to reschedule. Lucky for us, the rescheduled day was absolutely beautiful! Everybody caught fish, and we even battled a big shark to up near the surface twice before he broke the line. We ended up out on the water for longer than our scheduled time with the shark on, but Cliff was very gracious about the extra time. We could tell that Cliff works hard to be sure his clients have a memorable experience. We would absolutely book a trip with Reel Grace again in the future - highly recommended!
