Scott Jansen5.0VerifiedWahoo!
10 Hr Bottom & trolling on June 27, 2026 • 4 adultsShawn, Susan, and Captain Troy were a great crew. The boat was very well maintained. The boat even has a device to reduce rocking so if you are prone to motion sickness this is the boat for you. The crew explained everything we were going to do and executed their plan. They put us on fish everywhere we went. We even hooked a 200 lb bull shark that we brought close to the boat for photos before Shawn cut the line loose just inches from the shark's mouth to ensure the line didn't get into the shark's gills. towards the end of the trip we landed a Wahoo. Great trip, awesome crew, and a great boat. I would recommend to anyone wanting to experience fishing in the Gulf of America.

8 HR – Bottom & trolling on May 4, 2026 • 6 adultsWhen you research your next fishing adventure the first thing you do is book Reel Chill Fishing. Captain Troy And First Mate Shaun are far above their competitors with the knowledge and experience of Destin fishing charters. Their fishing equipment is top of the line. Captain Troy knows every inch of the Golf of America and First Mate Shaun knows everything about catching fish. You get the best of trolling, and bottom fishing all in one. This was our first fishing excursion, and I researched all the charters in Destin for two days before I picked Reel Chill Fishing. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
Jill Pool5.0VerifiedExceptional trip. Best one yet!
8 HR – Bottom & trolling on June 8, 2026 • 6 adultsWe have been on several trips in the past but this one is for the record books! Captain Troy and his deck hands were awesome. They made sure we caught fish. We got the red snapper we wanted. The mahi mahi that was on our list and to top it off they got us a 78 pound Wahoo. We plan to book again with him if we come back this way in the future and would recommend him and his team to anyone.

Charles Smith5.0VerifiedDestin 10hr. Snapper Fishing June 2026
10 Hr Bottom & trolling on June 12, 2026 • 6 adultsWe started out slow and things picked up. Pulled in a big 20lb snapper along with some other nice size ones. Landed over a 60lb Amberjack that unfortunately we had to throw back, loaded up on some mingos and a shark.

Lydia NallRepeat angler5.0VerifiedA Perfect Day Fishing
6 hr bottom fishing trolling on June 1, 2025 • 4 adultsWe couldn’t have asked for a better day, a better captain or crew! Captain Troy, Captain Suzanne and First Mate Dakota were the best at what they do! As soon as we got some bait fish in the boat we were off to get some snapper since it was opening day. Right off the bat we were yelling fish on! We did the 6 hour trip and we were able to limit out in snapper and even brought home a red grouper. We caught several red grouper that weren’t quite big enough, but we tossed them back to do some more growing. Troy, Suzanne and Dakota are really personable and friendly. I highly recommend going with them! We plan on booking them next time we are here!
