Reel Sportfishing Charters

Whichever saltwater fishing needs you have, give Reel Sportfishing Charters a try. They specialize in anything from exciting inshore and back bay fishing to fantastic offshore adventures. All of that magic begins in Longport, New Jersey, just minutes from either Ocean City or Atlantic City.

Captain Vince, the owner of the company, operates the ‘Reelizer’. She a 32’ Luhrs offshore sport fishing boat, built in 2000. She can cruise the waters at a top speed of 28 knots thanks to her twin 370 HP Cummins engines. Once aboard, you will find plenty of space for up to 6 anglers to fish in comfort and style.

The Reelizer has all the comforts of home. Inside, she features a private restroom, a shower, and a kitchen. There is also a sleeping area and an air-conditioned cabin with a TV and a multimedia system.

Fishing-wise, the Reelizer is rigged with top-notch electronics, professional gear, tackle, and accessories, a Pompanette fighting chair, a marlin tower, tuna tubes, outriggers, and downriggers. The only thing she’s missing is you!

Spend your day in the back bays and inshore waters, explore the local reefs and wrecks. Head to the local lumps up to 40 miles out for the likes of Bonito, Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, and King Mackerel.

Venture anywhere from 40 up to 125 miles out to the canyons, which are home to Mahi Mahi, Marlin, Tuna, and Mackerel. New Jersey is the “White Marlin Capital of the World” during the last month of summer and has great numbers of Sharks.

The trips aboard the Reelizer are all-inclusive; you will only need to bring your food and drinks.
