Reel easy.

Hop aboard the 24’ Yellowfin bay boat and see what all the fuss is about.  This vessel comes powered by a 300 HP Mercury Verado, that provides speedy and agile fishing in a variety of waters. Whizz off to the productive grounds, before quietly pursuing your spooky targets in the shallows. Equipped with twin livewells, a built-in cooler, and a 10’ Power-Pole anchoring system, the boat has everything you need for a successful fishing trip.

Get in touch with your captain before coming aboard, and let him know what you’d like to do. Choose between calm water backcountry fishing, as well as reef and wreck trips, or even head to the deep waters. Capt. John can advise what’s best based on your age and experience, and you can rest assured that you’ll be in for a trip tailored to your needs.

Backcountry fishing takes place in the flats and bays looking towards the Gulf of Mexico. You’ll mainly be using spinning gear with live bait such as mullet, pilchards, and crabs, but your target is up to how. Fancy the holy grail of Permit and Tarpon? No problem. How about Redfish, Snook, and Trout in the backcountry? You’ve got it. A trip to the reefs for Barracuda, Snapper, and Grouper? It’s yours.

Reel Easy Charters will go out of its way to make sure you have a day to remember. All you need to do is bring some drinks and snacks and settle in for a thrilling day with Reel Easy Charters.

Come aboard and discover some of the best fishing in the US!

Unbelievable fishing experience!!
Full Day Trip – Marquesas Keys on July 29, 20254 adults
Capt. Zach was unreel. Very knowledgeable, experienced, laid back, not intimidating, outgoing Captain. Caught limit mangrove snapper, caught a huge Mahi Mahi (26lbs) and some small ones, caught many barracudas, and finished with a huge lemon shark. Ready to book for next year. Book a full day for the best experience.

Went out with Captain Sam, he put us on Yellowtail and Mangrove Snapper, which is what we requested. Caught a bunch now we have fish to eat all week, while we’re in Key West. These guys are the best. Thanks Captain Sam!

Captain Sam was all about”variety”!
Half Day Trip (AM) on May 4, 20253 adults
Had an amazing trip with Captain Sam. Started by searching for permit then moved into a couple of his fav holes for snapper. Once dinner was caught, we moved to a sweet hole that produced grouper, tarpon and barracuda. My son loved Sam’s vibe and caught one of the biggest mangrove snappers I’ve ever seen. Great job Captain ‘Woody’!
