Hoping for an adventure offshore in Venice and Nokomis? Then Reel Rebels Fishing Adventures has a trip with your name on it! Captain Marvis will be your private fishing guide, which allows you to benefit from years of angling experience.

Depending on weather conditions, you might hook into Amberjack, Bonito, Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, Red Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Red Grouper, Gag Grouper, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Scup (Porgy), Pompano, and plenty more. You’ll target your catch by light and medium tackle fishing, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

A fun family fishing experience for families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

Capt. Marvis runs a 23’ Bulls Bay center console with a capacity for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are included. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Have in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. It’s recommended to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now’s the time to experience fishing in Venice and Nokomis for yourself, with Reel Rebels Fishing Adventures!

I was born and raised in the Caribbean, always close to the sea, awakening to the sites of cruise ships, fishing vessels, and crystal-clear beaches, waves crashing onshore, and a brisk salty breeze out my bedroom window. I spent most of my childhood fishing and surfing on the island of Puerto Rico. I love the places my love for the ocean has taken me, and the people I’ve met along the way. I moved to Orlando FL about 15 years ago and got married to my beautiful wife. Two wonderful kids later, the ocean called me, and we find ourselves living in Venice, FL, and haven’t looked back. The saltwater fishery here is truly a gift, there is always something amazing to target in every season! I’ve picked up a variety of tactics and methods throughout the years and worked hard at perfecting my craft. As a Coast Guard Certified Captain, my passion for the ocean and safe boating is strong. It brings me great joy to share my knowledge of fishing with my kids and all who join me on a fishing adventure. Whether we are fishing nearshore for Snooks, Mangroves, and Redfish or shooting offshore 45 miles in search of Red Snapper, Mahi, Groupers, and other big game, every trip is a chance for an adventure. The main objectives of any of my outings are the safety of all my passengers and crew and the pursuit of a memorable day.
