    great trip

    3 hour quick trip/beginner on October 21, 2026 • 5 adults

    Late October trip, rather windy and quite rainy but still a great trip. The crew did everything they could for us to catch fish (which we did) while keeping us away from the biggest waves. We learned a few new things, saw a submarine (which was exceptionally cool), lots of birds & expensive boats. Will book again if I have my ways through Fort Lauderdale again.

    Captain Colton was Amazing!

    KIDS TRIP 3 hours - 12:00 PM on February 22, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Colton was absolutely outstanding. From start to finish, he was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He made the entire experience not only successful but truly memorable especially for my two young sons. This trip was my son’s birthday present, and Captain Colton went above and beyond to make it special. We caught fish, had an incredible time on the water, and he even took the time to clean and package everything for us. His professionalism, kindness, and ability to work so well with kids made all the difference. We will definitely be returning and look forward to many more fishing trips with Captain Colton. Highly recommend! 🎣

    Catch fish with Captain Colton and Hector

    3/4 Day (6 Hours) on February 6, 2026 • 3 adults

    Great fishing with Captain Colton and Hector. Rough conditions but the two stayed focused on productive fishing. We caught a Mahi on the troll. Then switched to kite fishing with live bait and the action started. We hooked into a big fish and fought it for a long while. With Colton and Hector giving instructions and moving the boat, the 30lb Kingfish was landed. Colton offered us several different methods of fishing and worked with us to target what we wanted to catch. Colton and Hector both have excellent communication skills and Hector filleted our fish with attention to maximize the meat.

    Captain Colton got our 4 person group fish

    DRIFT FISHING SHARED TRIP on December 14, 2025 • 4 adults

    plan A was drift fishing in 100', few bites but no catch. moved to 300' changed to 3 baited hooks on each pole (4 poles), hit immediately, ended up with around 13 keepers, we kept 7 vermillon snappers which he fileted and deboned, packed with ice and we later made delicious dinner. So Colton very knowledgeable about area fishing and very helpful setting up rigs, I've never ocean fished before and not fished since my teens, i was very pleased with his personality and ability to understand and act on what we needed to make the trip a success. will go back next year in search of larger fish. our group was 2 married couples, 2 men, 2 women, no restroom on boat for 4 hour trip but he did offer to pull over in harbor on the way out so that was nice. the boat is great working condition, has modern equipment and in this case well Captained.

    December fishing trip

    DRIFT FISHING SHARED TRIP on December 29, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

    My 10-year-old son and I had an amazing fishing trip with Get Reel. Our captain, Colton, was very generous, kind, and took the time to share his knowledge. The fish weren’t at their easiest, but he didn’t give up—he varied his techniques and changed locations several times to make sure we caught some great fish. It was our first trip with you, but certainly not our last. Thank you.

    Fantastic experience!

    DRIFT FISHING SHARED TRIP on November 15, 2025 • 2 adults

    Colton and Hector were super helpful and brought a great vibe to our trip! There were only 2 fish caught on the 4hr trip, but when we got back everyone said it was a slow day. We still had an amazing time and they made sure all of us got to reel something up for the full experience. Definitely recommend Get Reel and hope to come back to them again on our next trip.

    Fun day for the Kids and their Dad

    Half Day (4 Hours) on February 14, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    I was looking for a 4 hour charter for my kids to experience off shore fishing. Get Reel was a good choice because Captain Colton did a great job of making the kids feel at ease and want to be involved. The boat is a good size for a small party. Colton even taught me something new: kite fishing. I would recommend this charter.

    Half Day (4 Hours) - 1:00 PM on December 30, 2025 • 2 adults

    Captain Hector took us out during a cold front with reports of a slow bite, but that did not slow us down. We landed and released a Sailfish and Barracuda during our trip. Hector was knowledgeable, relentless and enthusiastic about ensuring our trip was successful

    Spring time fishing has been nothing short of incredible lately! We’ve had consistent action across the board, with many trips producing a great variety of species including sailfish, mahi mahi, blackfin tuna, and kingfish. Some days it feels like you never know what’s going to show up next, which is what makes this time of year so exciting offshore. The conditions have lined up perfectly and the fish have been cooperating, giving our clients steady bites and unforgettable experiences on the water. Whether trolling, kite fishing, or fishing live bait, the action has stayed consistent and we truly couldn’t ask for better spring fishing right now!

    Fishing Report – Today’s Charters ? Another great day on the water! Our morning trip started off strong with a sailfish and kingfish hitting the deck. Conditions were calm with very little wind or current, but bump trolling live baits kept us in the game and paid off with happy customers and solid action. In the afternoon, the wind picked up enough to get the kites flying. After an early kingfish cut-off, about 20 minutes later our long kite bait got crushed for a trophy bite! Trevor landed an incredible fish and even had a replica mount made to remember the catch — safe to say he couldn’t have been happier. Great crews, great memories, and another successful day offshore!

    Beautiful flat calm conditions made for a great day on the water. The action started quickly with a sailfish hooked within the first 10 minutes of trolling — always exciting to land a trophy fish before even getting fully offshore! Once the trolling bite slowed, we switched to bottom fishing and managed to put a few tasty snapper in the box despite a strong current. Eric and Grayson had a great trip and went home happy with fresh fish for dinner. Another fun and successful half-day trip with smiling clients and bent rods!
