ReelEsea Charters

(45) Going fast!
Morgan's Harbour Dock, West Ba…
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands

With ReelEsea Charters, the beautiful waters of the Cayman Islands will be all yours. Think of these colorful reefs and crystal-clear waters, the elusive Bonefish and Tarpon jumping at the end of your fishing line. Imagine the reel-screaming action as you battle some of the biggest Tuna or Marlin around… This could be yours tomorrow!

On your day out, you will be able to try your hand at deep sea fishing and reef fishing, targeting anything from Bonefish and Tarpon to Wahoo, Marlin, Tuna, Grouper, Mahi Mahi, Snapper, and Sharks. All the proper fishing equipment for anyone involved will be provided by the crew, along with snacks and lunch that are available upon request.

As well as making an outstanding catch possible, you will be able to take a dip in these fantastic waters. Snorkeling gear is always available onboard and is free to use!

All that magic happens aboard the ‘ReelEsea’, a 31’ Bertram built back in 1981 and fully overhauled in 2012. She comes powered by twin 250 HP Yamaha Diesels and has plenty of fishing space for up to 6 anglers.

The ReelEsea features a spacious flybridge which is rigged with a full range of navigational and fishfinding electronics. As well as that, she has an upper-shaded deck with plenty of seating, an enclosed toilet, and a freshwater shower for rinsing off. She is missing just one thing – and it’s you!

Captain Dwight Ebanks is a local guide who was born and raised in the Cayman Islands. Having been fishing from an early age, Dwight developed a passion for fishing and everything that has to do with the ocean. He was introduced to fishing by his parents. In fact, they took him on the boat when he was 2 months old! Dwight's father was one of the first captains in the area. Dwight has been working as a captain for the past 3 decades and has never looked back.
