4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 20, 2025
My little family and I came from Ohio and decided to try and have a fishing trip. Captain Ryan did not disappoint. Plenty of info ranging from weather outlook to what type of shoes should be worn were sent out the day before our trip. Ryan and the owner were both incredible gentlemen when we first showed up. Ryan showed both his knowledge of fishing in general and how much research he did for the day. The first spot we went to had multiple bites and we only left because a shark started circling and we were worried he would start stealing our bites. Ended the day with multiple bonitos and a massive black fin tuna. All in all it was an amazing trip and the professionalism and knowledge was on full display all day!

6 Hour Trip on July 2, 2025
Phil put us on fish right away. We caught a barracuda then a mahi mahi, then lost a sail fish then hooked up on a big sail fish. Fought it for about 20 minutes. After a couple attempts to put hands on it at the boat it took off under the boat and broke off. 9am a bad storm rolled in with more bad storms and weather behind it, we had to call it a day. These guys know the area and techniques to catch them. I’ll definitely be back when we come back to Florida.

4 Hour Trip (AM) on April 13, 2025
Let me start with we will ABSOLUTELY be booking with Reel E Sea fishing again, and will be asking for Phil again. Phil has the bedside manner of Doctor House (blunt and direct), but the passion and fishing acumen of a tournament winner and real ocean lover. He takes fishing serious and wants you to be able to bring in as many fish as you can. We will be going to the gym for arms and legs before we do it again lol...reeling in a King Mackerel is no joke. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

6 Hour Trip on December 23, 2024
We took our family on a fun Christmas fishing adventure this year and it happened to be in the right place at the right time with the right boat and Captain! He put us in the right spot and we had an amazing time reeling in barracuda, kingfish, mahi-mahi and even a sailfish! Captain Thomas did a great job for our 6-hour charter trip! He cleaned our fish wonderfully, we ate the kingfish at a local restaurant that would cook our catch and we are excited about taking home several bags of mahi-mahi. I would recommend this trip, Captain Thomas did a great job with Real E Sea Fishing charters!
