Reel E Sea Charters invites you to fish and explore the waters off southeast Florida with Captain Rick Schlee. The captain is a super passionate fisherman who provides a hands-on experience and makes each trip educational. Reel E Sea Charters is based out of West Palm Beach and Jupiter, Florida and offers trips to both inshore and offshore waters.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 28’ Contender center console that can safely take up to 5 anglers. The boat is fully equipped with state-of-the-art navigation electronics, safety and fishing gear, and tackle. It comes with a toilet, livewell, outriggers, and downriggers. Thanks to its triple 350 HP Yamaha engines with a maximum cruising speed of 70 mph, you’ll reach your spots quickly and comfortably.

Capt. Rick will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 4 to 8 hour trips, mainly fishing for Dolphin, Wahoo, Sailfish, Tuna, Marlin, King Mackerel, Cobia, Barracuda, and more, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as trolling, big game fishing, drift fishing, kite fishing, and spinning on a mixture of light and heavy tackle.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, – fishing. Live bait is not included but is offered for $100 a dozen for top premium baits. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day and the crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip. The boat will be supplied with drinks for your pleasure, so be sure to let the captain know if you have any questions or want to bring your own.

Join in and have a memorable time fishing with Reel E Sea Charters!

Captain Rick started fishing Bass tournaments at the tender age of 10 and has also fished from piers, seawalls, and drift boats. He is super passionate about fishing and loves being on the water and just enjoying the beautiful views of nature. Capt. Rick became a fisherman because for him it's a true adrenaline rush. He loves to teach and see people learn and catch fish. The captain also fishes the local tournament circuit for Sailfish and other pelagics, and has placed against some of the best talents in the world. He says: "Fishing is very addictive, so I guess you can say it's an addiction and a challenge."
