For Anyone Reading, This was my first time out with Hot Reels; first time with a true a private charter. Previously have been on multiple Deep Sea Party Charters and was blessed to finally be able to go on a private. Capt. Alden communicated from beginning, any questions, to the day off. Pleasantly took off with Capt Will and had an amazing trip with a young man, knowledgeable, charismatic, and humble! Placed on lots of fish, some keepers, some not but at the end of the day, we FISHED the... Altro

Finding something unique to to do with your family during vacation can sometimes be daunting. So, one of my kids suggested fishing. I researched the many options available in St. Augustine, and landed on Captain Alden. Sure was glad I did. He was very helpful, professional and his boat was clean and big enough for the six of us. Captain Alden was very helpful and patient with the kids, educating all of us of the different fish species we caught. Overall a five star trip!

Captain Alden and First Mate Will run an organized, safe, fun, and top notch charter. We had a phenomenal trip on our inshore fishing experience. The boat is comfortable, the guys were experienced and great with all ages. We had 3 generations on our 6 person trip and made some wonderful memories together. These guys put us on the fish, catered to every person, keeping us baited up, taking care of things before we even asked. We caught red and black drum, enough for fresh dinner and the freezer!...

Had initially planned going nearshore this morning, but Capt. Alden suggested staying inshore due to wind. Others who did came back pretty quick, so we would’ve wasted time. We were all fine with flounder, and that’s exactly what Capt put us on. Didn’t quite limit due to size, but I don’t think in 5-10 minutes went by without one of the four of us reeling one in. Would gladly go with Capt Alden again.
