Reel Way Fishing Charters
Come and enjoy some of the finest fishing on Florida's Panhandle with Captain Kenny Way. Based out of the beautiful Pensacola Beach, Captain Kenny of Reel Way Fishing Charters offers inshore trips in the local bays, as well as nearshore trips in the open ocean.
Captain Kenny's boat is a versatile 27 ft Ameracat center console that has a shallow draft for accessing skinny water at the same time as being big enough to fish off the beaches for larger species. Offering a fast, dry ride, the boat features a T-Top for shade and has plenty of storage on board for all your belongings. It is powered by twin 200 suzuki engines to get you to the fish fast, and features a trolling motor and an anchoring system to keep you close to them. With a full range of electronics and safety gear on board, the boat is ready to take you on the fishing adventure of a lifetime.
During your trip you will have the chance to try out a variety of fishing styles to fish for a range of local species, such as Redfish, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, Amberjack, Jack Crevalle, Snappers, Kingfish, and Sharks. Captain Kenny carries rods and reels by well known brands Penn and Shimano, as well as a variety of artificial lures and live bait caught before the trip, so that you can have the best chance of having an exciting day out on the water. Fly fishing equipment can also be provided - please inform the captain if you would like to use this method at least a day prior to the trip date.
All the tackle, bait, and lures you will need throughout your trip are included in the price, and the captain will also provide fishing licenses for your whole group. On top of that, once your trip has finished he will happily clean and fillet any fish you decide to take home at the end of the day.
We are federally permitted and can go beyond 9 miles.
** 4 hr trips are not normally offshore trips. They are more nearshore and inshore trips. Meaning we don't necessarily offer red snapper trips on 4 hr runs.**

Half Day Trip (AM) on September 19, 2026 • 4 adultsHe was early, got out quick and if the fish weren’t biting or they stopped biting he moved us to another spot. Caught a bunch of Amber Jacks, Vermillion and Red snapper. Filled our freezer in four hours. We’ll be looking at doing at least six hours next time. Kenny - Thanks for a great day!

Derek Brown5.0VerifiedGreat trip with a knowledgeable captain
Half Day Trip (PM) on April 26, 2026 • 3 adultsThis was a great trip. We stayed on fish and ended up catching a ton. The captain had excellent gear and clearly knows how to run the boat and read the water. Everything felt dialed in from start to finish. If you’re looking for a productive, no-stress fishing trip, this is it.
