Simply Reel Inshore Fishing welcomes kids aboard, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

    The water was rough due to weather. The Captain went out of his way to go around the waves and ger us on fish. One of our best fishing trips ever!

    Great Trip

    3 Hour Trip on March 25, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Highly recommend Captain Robert for your fishing guide. He is very professional, yet super laid back and easy going. He was so accommodating when I wanted to spend a few minutes on the way to our fishing spot watching dolphins putting on a show for us. He was very good with my younger kids, and patient with 2 of us who are somewhat inexperienced fishermen. He made sure we were catching fish and cleaned them afterwards for us. He is extremely safe and knowledgeable about the waters he fishes in. I cannot recommend him enough and we will use him again when we are in the area. Thank you Captain Robert for a fabulous day on the water!

    Inshore Slam!

    3 Hour Trip on March 14, 2025 • 2 adults

    We had a great day with Captain Robert as he put us on an Inshore Slam! Snook, Reds and Trout plus a bonus Fluke! Captain Robert was super friendly and accommodating. He called and confirmed our contact information, pickup location and time prior to our trip. My wife and I are avid boaters and fish quite a bit and Captain Robert also ensured our comfortability with both boating and fishing prior to our trip. He was conscientious of our requested target fish, the weather, tides etc. to ensure we had a smooth ride and the best trip possible. He had plenty of rigs set up, so if one went down we were good to go. We caught 4 species and over a dozen fish total, but even if the bite wasn't on, Captain Robert's professionalism would have made for a great trip! Highly recommend!

    Amazing Time!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on March 18, 2025 • 2 adults

    First time ever on a charter and was more than impressed. Captain was very knowledgeable and knew exactly where and when to catch fish. We caught Snook and Red Fish. Fishing was easy even for first timers. The captain makes sure you catch fish and will keep you out longer if the bite is good! I would recommend this charter to everyone no matter the skill. I will be using this charter again next time I am in the area. Highly recommend.

    Incredible fishing experience

    Half Day Trip (AM) on November 27, 2024 • 4 adults

    I've been on many fishing trips in my past and my trip with Captain Rob may have been the best one yet. Me and my girlfriend were taking a day trip out to Tampa from Orlando and Captain Rob was very accomodating on our departure time. We arrived 30 minutes after our departure time yet he still honored our full 4 hour trip (even though he didn't have to). Captain Rob was a very experienced Captain, he knew where to start, And when to move. He chummed the water and took us to very secluded and scenic fishing spots. I believe we could 10+ snook, couple redfish, catfish, trout, and some others. Very friendly guy whos passion turned into a business. Overall one of the best experiences I've ever had fishing. Would recommend 10/10. Thanks for the trip Captain Rob, -Josh and Karine

    Great trip with CAPT. Rob

    3 Hour Trip on March 31, 2025 • 2 adults

    Couldn’t have asked of any more from Captian Rob. Communication leading up to the trip was great. He catered to some special needs we had. The most important part is he put us on multiple species of fish and had a great day. Also even gave a great dinner recommendation. Can’t wait to fish with Capt Rob in the future
