Reel Magic Sports Fishing Charters is based in Montego Bay, Jamaica. This area is famous for its big game fish all year round, so a day out on the water with the crew can land you on the fish of your dream! As well as this, your captain and crew have a 100% catch rate for deep drop fishing – so get ready to come face-to-gills with some seriously impressive bottom-dwelling fish.
Their 43-foot “Tiara” boat is one of the best vessels in the area. It is a newly restored spacious and comfortable vessel, powered by two 550 HP Detroit engines. The boat’s top-notch navigational electronics, including a Garmin 16’’ GPS, a fish finder, a VHF radio, and a radar will assure everything is on point. “Tiara” comes complete with a galley, a bathroom, a kitchen, a stateroom, two coaches and is also fully air-conditioned. The vessel is also equipped with a fighting chair and outriggers.
On the trip of your choosing, you will be focusing on catching the fish of your dream nearshore, offshore, or on the reefs. If you decide to go offshore, you will head 7-10 miles out to target Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, Sailfish, and White and Blue Marlins. Species such as Great Barracuda, Goliath Grouper, Red Snapper, Wahoo, and plenty more. Reel Magic Sports Fishing uses electric reels for deep drop fishing.
Shimano rods, reels, tackle, and lures are included in the price of your trip. Moreover, you will be offered refreshing drinks. The catch will be cleaned and filleted by the end of the trip. The crew may also provide the snorkeling equipment in case you decide to go for a swim.
A day out with Reel Magic Sports Fishing is fun for any angler, pro to beginner. The crew are especially good with kids, so feel free to bring your whole family!
Accommodations outside of Montego Bay will incur an additional cost based on distance.

Because the weather was lousy the first day we tried fishing, Captain Oates was very accommodating—he turned the boat around for our family and rescheduled us for the next day, which was much better weather. Although we only caught a couple of tuna, it wasn’t for lack of trying—Shawn had many lines in the water and tried several types of bait (our four year old wanted to catch a shark, and Shawn humored him as best he could!). The kids had a great time and these guys know what they are doing. Highly recommend!

We had a great time! The boat was well maintained and the fishing setup was very impressive. Micheal set multiple lines in the water at a time to increase our chances of snagging a big one. Michael worked tirelessly to swap out bait combos, live bait, and lures. He made it look so easy and reeling in was very exciting. He set us up for success in as many places as he could while our Captain navigated the waters. Our first hit, we had 2 Bonitas at the exact same time! We also reeled in a small yellowfin tuna with a larger, more fiesty and colorful one to follow. Within a couple minutes, another reel went off- a mahi mahi was the prize at the end of the line! Everything was great! They had cold beer, snacks, and kept educating us on the signs of good spots to fish and why. I would recommend these fellas if you're looking for people that want to catch fish just as badly as you do! Thanks again Oates and Michael

Sean and Oates took my family of 4 on an adjusted morning trip trolling for big game fish December 28. The owner Craig encouraged us to go early rather than in the afternoon as we'd planned due to seasonal weather conditions, and was flexible about the timing. Sean picked us up and took us to their secondary boat docked at the Luminous Lagoon. The boat was comfortable, clean, and appropriately equipped. The crew worked hard to find fish- they burned a lot of diesel and kept changing lures all the way out and back, trying to ensure we caught something. We boated a sizeable barracuda, and a 42lb wahoo. The crew was very excited, and filleted the wahoo on the dock so we could take some back to the resort (it was delicious!) Really nice, hardworking crew, we had a great time.
