Boat ramp is located at 163 causeway N, New Smyrna Beach 32169 and is subject to change.If you’re ready to start fishing in Ponce Inlet, we’ve got you covered with Reel Deal Fishin' Charters. With Captain Chad at the helm, you’ll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Chad can also take you Flounder gigging.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Also remember to bring snacks!
You’ll be dropping lines from a 22’ Sundance skiff with space for 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.
There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
It’s always wise to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Reel Deal Fishin' Charters

Had a great time fishing with Captain Chad today. He took the six of us fishing today including a 2 year old. He was very good with the kid and even let him drive the boat. I've been on a lot of charters and this was by far the best experience. 10/10 highly recommend
