Reel Family Charters
Excited to go fishing in Venice? Reel Family Charters is here to make it happen!
Species like Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Red Grouper, Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, Amberjack, Tripletail, Hogfish, Cobia, and more inhabit these waters, depending on the season. You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Feel free to bring your own snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!
Your trip begins aboard a 30' SeaHunter center console with room for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
It's always wise to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Reel Family Charters!

New Jersey, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedFishing with Spencer
4 Hour Trip – Nearshore on March 11, 2026 • 4 adultsIincredible nearshore fishing trip! We caught over 100 fish, and the action never stopped from the moment we dropped the lines. The captain put us right on the fish, and the mate — he never stopped moving the entire trip. He was constantly baiting hooks, fixing lines after fish were spinning, netting fish, and making sure everyone on the boat was fishing They made the whole experience smooth and fun for everyone. Whether you’re an experienced angler or it’s your first time fishing, this boat makes sure you’re taken care of and on the fish all day. If you’re thinking about booking a trip, do it — nonstop action, a hardworking crew, and an unforgettable day on the water. We’ll definitely be back!

Captain put us on keeper grouper, grunts , porgy, vermilion, snapper and 4 other species. Captain is seasoned beyond his young age. Captain and Mate kept up with bait to maximize lines in water time. 23 keepers and another 15 throw backs. Near shore trip was about 20 miles out but his spot paid off.
We had a great time. The Captain was perfect and caught lots of fish. Thank you.
