Wahoo!
10 Hr Bottom & trolling on June 27, 20264 adults

Shawn, 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.

Great day of fishing with a great crew
10 Hr Bottom & trolling on May 16, 20266 adults

We enjoyed a fantastic 10 hour day of fishing with Capt. Troy and his crew. Crew PJ and Capt.'s wife Suzanne, HUSTLED to keep everyone's line baited and in the water, there was no slow motion on their parts. Captain moved the boat many times to keep us on the fish. If there was no bite in 5 minutes, were moved on. The boat is VERY clean and well equipped. Everyone knew what they were doing and what needed to be done. On top of that, Captain and crew were very personable and fun to talk to. We will DEFINITELY fish with them again. I highly recommend Reel Chill for anyone looking for a great day of fishing.

Legends of the Golf of America Fishing
8 HR – Bottom & trolling on May 4, 20266 adults

When 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.

Exceptional trip. Best one yet!
8 HR – Bottom & trolling on June 8, 20266 adults

We 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.

Best Experience of All Time!
12 HR Bottom & trolling on October 8, 20252 adults

We go on multiple charters every year and Reel Chill with Capt. Troy and deckhand Shawn has not only exceeded expectations, it is by far our best experience fishing! no Captain and crew have been more accommodating and just as eager and excited to catch fiah as Reel Chill. They went above and beyond and even worked us in for a second charter on our limited time frame. We had the absolute best time and memories that will last a life time!! Truly the best experience! Side Note: The boat is exceptionally clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Perfect for all ages and level of experience.
