Reel Joy Fishing Charters LLC
There's a fish with your name on it in Jacksonville and Reel Joy Fishing Charters will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Charlie is prepared to put you on fish.
You're likely to go after Amberjack, Cobia, Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Cubera Snapper, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Black Drum, Black Seabass, Blackfin Tuna, King Mackerel (Kingfish), and more, depending on when you go. You'll target your catch by spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Capt. Charlie will bring you aboard a 22' Hydra Sports center console with room for 3 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Reel Joy Fishing Charters.

6 Hour Trip – Offshore
Amazing Offshore fishing
This was an amazing trip! My friends and I love fishing, and this was our first time going offshore — it couldn’t have gone better. Captain Chali was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. He took the time to teach us how to catch kingfish, and we ended up landing 4 kingfish, a massive barracuda around 40 lbs, and an unforgettable sailfish — my first ever! The experience of reeling in a sailfish was absolutely thrilling. We even lost quite a few fish, but that only made us more excited to come back and try again. Captain Chali is truly a responsible, experienced, and patient guide, and we’re already planning our next trip with him! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an offshore adventure!

6 Hour Trip – Offshore
A Unforgettable Adventure!!!
We had an incredible trip! The captain is down-to-earth, highly knowledgeable, and completely dedicated to putting you on the fish. His positive, can-do attitude and clear focus on safety, success, and fun made the experience unforgettable. He communicated with us throughout the trip, ensuring everything went smoothly and that we had the best possible time on the water. Highly recommend! We caught 5 large Kingfish, and he filleted them out with the quickness.! We will be back!

Incredible Snapper fishing wirh Reel Joy and Captain Charlie
Had an unbelievable experience fishing with Reel Joy charter. Charlie put is on the spots and it seemed like constant catching. The snappers never stood a chance. Charlie took care of me on the boat he not only provided all the gear but also baited our line and gave excellent advice. By far the best offshore fishing I have done in my life. He even hooked me up with a military discount which I wasn't expecting. I highly recommend and I will 100% be back.
