We have been on a few fishing charters over the last couple years and this was hands-down the best experience. We had five teenagers and myself which kept both Captain Bob and Tommy very busy. We caught a huge red grouper, land snapper, hog fish and grunts. Will be eating fish for months!! Thank you for such a great time! We will be back!!

Christian took us to an incredible spot when we caught numerous kinds of keeper fish, including snapper, sheepshead, black sea bass, hog fish, red grouper and a lot beautiful gag groupers. We even hooker into several cobias however we were unable to land any of them, no fault of the captain. All of this happened in a 4 hour trip and we had an incredible time. We are already working on planning another trip. Highly recommend, Christian is The Man!!!

5/5
Booked with Reef Relief Charters for a bachelor party. We took a 10 hour trip and caught fish from the moment we dropped anchor till when we pulled it up. Captain Rich really had some great spots. He also was very helpful and patient with us. Caught tons of massive Red Grouper unfortunately they were out of season. Plenty of snapper for tacos later that day! 10/10 would recommend going with them if you want to catch fish!

5/5
We loved fishing with Captain Mark! The fishing was slow for a lot of the day, but we kept hitting new spots until we found one where the fish were really active, and then we spent about an hour pulling in red grouper and Grey snapper nonstop. We also spent about 2 hours chasing what was probably a shark, which was pretty memorable.
