Reel and Relax is here to help you experience the stunning waters of Osprey.
Species like Snook, Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, Black Drum, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, and more can be found in these waters, depending on the time of year. You'll target your catch by light tackle fishing, popping, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Reel and Relax is a child-friendly charter service, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!
You'll be dropping lines from a 21' Sea Pro center console with space for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, along with lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more. It's never a bad idea to bring sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now, come aboard with Reel and Relax and get hooked!

Renee SchmeiderRepeat angler•
Virginia, US•Member since 20262 trips5.0VerifiedCapt. Ryan really tries to put you on fish...
Half Day Trip (AM) on May 26, 2026 • 4 adultsFour adults went out on the water with Captain Ryan. The sun was shining and the breeze was blowing which helped keep it comfortable for the first three hours. This trip is good for those who may not want to fish in rough water as it is an inshore fishing trip, but when the wind isn't fighting against you the trip includes some time in the Gulf. Everything was ready for us to use, we caught fish, they were filleted. As my sister-in-law said, "The outing was definitely worth the money and time spent." This was our second time to go out with Capt. Ryan and probably won't be our last!
Xiaosong ZhuRepeat angler•California, US•Member since 20262 trips5.0Verifieda perfect family sheepshead day!
Half Day Trip (AM) on February 12, 2026 • 4 adultsGreat thanks to captain Ryan! Baits and gears are ready so we started our trip right in the morning. My wife caught two little sheepsheads and then we moved to the Jetty. Ryan lead us to a place about a mile to the sea, and then the fish bites started. My daughters caught several quite big sheepshead (17''), while I was fighting with small white grunts... My wife even caught a sea robin and almost landed a big blue crab. :). It is indeed a fantastic family trip! Captain Ryan kept everybody busy and happy. Oh, the boat is nice and clean too. We actually enjoy the foggy day every much. Definitely will recommend Ryan to anyone who love to have a easy family water day finishing inshore/intercostal.
Robert Chubb•Ohio, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedGreat Trip!!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on May 31, 2026 • 5 adultsWe had a great experience. The Captain Ryan put us on several different types if Fish and in a few different areas and as a Bonus we saw Dolphins and Manatees Up Close!! I will definitely be Booking again the Next time I am in Florida. The Captain also Cleaned our Fish(Mango Snapper and Redfish) and we will be eating them for Dinner this evening.

A wonderful day in several locations and fishing success at each one!
Half Day Trip (AM) on March 4, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childCapt Ryan Miller kept communication with us before the trip by readily responding to our questions and emails. This trip was for my husband and our 9 year old granddaughter, and for me to join in with a camera to record the day. We started in the mangrove's, with success right away! Then off to see if the Gulf was smooth and it was...we fought with the local dolphin over the fish we were catching, then on to Snake Island where our granddaughter got a chance to get off the boat, get wet and find shells to take home...finally our last stop was around the pilings of private docks. Our granddaughter was comfortable with Capt Ryan and wasn't afraid to ask him questions or request lessons on casting. We will arrange an adults only adventure with him sometime in the near future. The boat was clean and well cared for. Ryan drove it in such a way that even when rough water churned up due to fast boaters going by, we took the force very gently. The only negative is that there were very few cushions to sit on.
Nina Fox•Georgia, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedWonderful day !
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 26, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe took our 2 grandsons for a half day. Caught 2 snapper keepers and a red drum. Also had fun catching a bonnett shark and we Caught and released a few catfish. There were a pod of manatees that hung around which was really great to see. Captain Ryan was great with the boys!! We would highly recommend !!!

Jacob Mungia•Texas, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedEngaged!
Half Day Trip (AM) on April 25, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Ryan Miller was great! Not only was he envolved and actively trying to put us on the fish, but he himself clearly loves what he's doing and was very helpful and we had a good chat. Would book again and recommend.
Ellie Ash•Colorado, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedMemories Made!
Half Day Trip (AM) on February 7, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 childrenWe so enjoyed our trip with Ryan. He is so patient, good natured, and helpful. We caught many fish, but couldn't keep them all due to size. But the thrill of getting one hooked made it so exciting. And best of all, my grandson came to me in the evening and said it was the best day of his life. Ryan made that possible and we are grateful for the memory made!
Amanda Thomas•Florida, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedEasy day on the water
