We had an absolutely amazing time on this fishing charter! The captain was professional, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and we felt safe and taken care of the entire trip. Not only did we catch plenty of fish, but we also learned a lot along the way. Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for an unforgettable day on the water!

I really appreciated the guide as I could tell he wanted us to have a good experience. I felt that he really went above and beyond to make it nice for us but also kept the environment chill and relaxing. We forgot a cooler to take our fish but he cleaned the fish and put them in a cooler so we could go straight to a restaurant to have them cooked. It was for my boyfriend’s birthday so o was grateful that it turned out to be a nice experience!

We were originally planning to do a Head Boat trip, for the day we were in Daytona Beach, but it sold out before we could book it. I'm SO glad it sold out, as that's when I found Captain Chad's Reel Deal Charter service, and it was wonderful! Myself, my younger daughter, and my older daughter's boyfriend booked a Thursday morning inlet charter that wasn't very much more than we would have paid for the head boat trip for the 3 of us (and it was our own private charter, instead of sharing with 30 other people). Despite a minor issue with the initial meeting point (two very similar addresses in the same area), we were quickly on our way that morning, and Captain Chad was great. He immediately handed his phone to my 14 year old daughter while leaving the dock, and told her to put on whatever music she wanted from his Spotify account on the boat speakers, which she loved! We came to a spot by the bridge, and immediately started catching Jacks right away, which were fun! Whenever we had our bait picked, Captain Chad was right there with new bait to put on the hook. He was always on point with helping land and unhook the fish too for my daughter. We moved to a couple of different spots and had good luck in some and slow luck in others, but he didn't stay at a slow spot for long, understanding that it's not fun for the kids if they aren't catching anything for long periods. On our 4 hour trip, we probably caught about 45+ fish between the three of us (with my 14 year old daughter catching the most, which she also enjoyed). We caught Jacks, Sheepshead, Bluefish, Catfish and even 2 small Sting Rays. We also saw dolphins playing around us multiple times as well as Sea Turtles, which made my daughter extra happy. Even though our charter officially ended at 11am, we stayed out an extra 30 minutes, as Captain Chad wanted to make sure we all got "one more" in the boat before going in. And the whole time, Chad was great to talk to. Wonderful conversation, friendly and welcoming. And, as an extra bonus, his wife owns a local bakery (Treats & Sweets Cakery in South Daytona), so he gifted us a free 6 pack of cupcakes from her bakery, as a thank you for going on his charter! Such a wonderful gesture, as he definitely understands how to make his customers feel welcomed and appreciated! We picked those up after the charter on our way back to the hotel, and they were outstanding! Make sure you stop in when you are in the area, and you won’t be disappointed there either!! Overall, we had an amazing time, and we definitely will do another charter with him when we are back in the area! Highly recommended!

Captain Chad!! Was Amazing!! Communicated very well before we even got to the boat! Once on the boat, he was very thorough when he planned out our trip! My son caught a 20lbs Red. And it made the whole trip worth it! Of course we caught other fish, shoot we almost got a shark!! All I can say is a 10 out of 19 for sure!! My son will never forget this trip! Thanks for helping me make memories like this with my son!! See you again soon!! Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

We were in Orlando for a basketball tournament and ended up with a lot more free time than expected. We booked last minute and captain Chad truly made our fishing a great one for the entire family including two teenagers. We went shark fishing for several hours and then ended the morning with some onshore fishing. The kids said the shark fishing was some of the best fishing they’ve ever done. Book with Captain Chad - you won’t be disappointed.
