Make an adventure out of your next trip in Seaford and go fishing with Reel Knotty Boat Charters. Captain Rich will be your guide, allowing you to benefit from their sportfishing experience.

These waters hold game fish like Flounder, Black Seabass, Striped Bass, Bluefish, Bluefin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Tilefish, Gray Triggerfish, Scup (Porgy), Weakfish, Cobia, and more, depending on when you go. On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Also remember to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Your vessel for the day is a 30' Pursuit center console with space for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. A 20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Some essentials to bring are sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

You could keep reading this, but wouldn't you rather be fishing with Reel Knotty Boat Charters?

Best Charter & Capt in Nassau!
6 Hour Trip – Inshore on October 17, 2025

Been going out with Capt Rich for years and ALWAYS have the best time. It doesn’t hurt that he always puts you on the fish either. I’ve gone out Spearfishing and Rod & Reel! He’ll put you on the Tuna, Tile, Bass, Black Seabass, or Blackfish like nobody’s business. Whether it’s a day out with the boys or a trip with the kids, one thing is always the same - fish on the line makes everyone smile! Thanks Capt Rich.

Had a great day on the water even though the wind was blowing 20mph. Cpt. Rich and Kevin worked very hard to find fish and didn't stop working hard till our time was up. I highly recommend these guys.

16 Hour Trip – Offshore on August 9, 2025

Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! The captain was knowledgeable, professional, and made the entire trip both fun and productive. You can tell they truly know the water — we were on fish quickly and consistently throughout the charter. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, and everything was handled smoothly. Whether you’re experienced or brand new to fishing, they make you feel confident and taken care of. We caught great fish, had an amazing time, and made memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend reel knotty for a charter — we’ll definitely be booking again! 🎣
