An Unforgettable Day with Reel Blessed Charters🙌
8 Hour Trip (AM) on July 4, 20266 adults

Our trip with Reel Blessed Charters was everything a fishing trip should be and more. These two captains were professional, knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly accommodating from beginning to end. They put us on the fish all day. We caught and released two massive bull redfish measuring over 50 inches, landed a keeper cobia, and also caught Spanish mackerel and sea mullet. The action was incredible, but what made the trip truly special was the peaceful atmosphere, nonstop laughter, and great memories we made on the water. These captains genuinely enjoy what they do, and it shows in how hard they work to make sure everyone has a successful and enjoyable experience. Whether you are an experienced fisherman or taking your family out for the first time, Reel Blessed Charters is the crew you want guiding your trip. We came looking for a great day of fishing and left with stories we will be telling for years. Book the trip. You will not regret it. Five stars all the way!

Response from Captain

Thank you so much for the incredible review and for choosing Reel Blessed Charters! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It was an absolute pleasure having you aboard. From battling those giant bull redfish to putting a keeper cobia in the boat, the fishing was certainly memorable, but we agree that the laughs, stories, and time spent together on the water are what make these trips truly special. We work hard to create an experience that is not only productive but also enjoyable and welcoming for anglers of all skill levels, so hearing that we accomplished that means the world to us. Your kind words about our professionalism, patience, and dedication are greatly appreciated. Thank you again for trusting us with your day on the water. We are honored to have been part of memories you’ll be sharing for years to come, and we look forward to fishing with you again soon. Until then, tight lines and God bless!

I can NOT put into words how amazing of a trip this was. It has always been a dream of mine and my friends to open water fish and Captain Richard and Houston made our dreams come true! The kindest people we have ever met. They made the experience fun, educational, and effortless! We are a group of several age groups and they made everything easy and comfortable! We caught fish, laughed, enjoyed the scenery, and just enjoyed the water! (and their compnay) I can NOT wait to come back and make more memories with our new found friends. I can honestly say that ReelBlessed was a REAL BLESSED experience!! Cant Wait to book again!

Awesome Experience
3 Hour Trip – Sunset on June 27, 20265 adults

We had an amazing trip! The captain truly went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. He kept a close eye on the weather, made sure it was safe for us to go out, and did everything he could to make the trip enjoyable. He is very knowledgeable and clearly knows what he’s doing. We were able to catch so many fish and had an absolute blast. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone, and we will absolutely be doing it again!

Richard is the best!! The Best Father Day Gift Ever!!
5 Hour Trip (AM) on June 6, 20262 adults

What an incredible fishing trip! Richard and his crew were absolutely amazing and made the entire experience unforgettable. From the moment we got on the boat, they were friendly, knowledgeable, and dedicated to making sure everyone had a great time. This trip was a Father’s Day gift for my dad, and seeing how happy he was made it even more special. Richard and the crew worked hard to put us on the fish, taking us to multiple productive spots and doing everything they could to make sure we had success. Thanks to their effort and expertise, we left with bags full of fish and memories that will last a lifetime! If you’re looking for a professional crew that truly cares about giving you the best fishing experience possible, I highly recommend booking with Richard. They went above and beyond, and I will definitely be reaching out to book another trip in the future. Thank you for making this Father’s Day gift such a huge success! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended! 🎣🐟🚤
