Reel’n Tails Charters 

My trip with Anthony was exciting and enjoyable. Night fishing is definitely a challenge, especially for tarpon. We were on fish the whole trip and I caught probably 10 different species, many of which I hasd never caught before. Tides were definitely challenging and fishing in the dark is certainly an adventure but I will use Anthony in the future when I return. Great guy that is obviously very passionate about fishing and customer satisfaction.

We booked this trip as a 10th birthday surprise for our son and it could not have been more perfect. From the moment we booked, Anthony called us to chat about what we were hoping to catch, checked in with us leading up to the trip, and was always quick to respond to messages. That level of communication before we even stepped on the boat set the tone for the whole experience. We hit a storm right at the start, and Captain Anthony navigated us safely under a bridge to wait it out — and didn’t count that time against our charter. That kind of integrity says everything about him. Once we were out on the water, it was non-stop fun. We caught sea trout, mangrove snapper, ladyfish, and even a baby barracuda. Anthony was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely great with our son the whole time. Our son declared it the best birthday ever, and on the ride home told my husband he needed to “friend Anthony” because he was that cool. Honestly, we agree. We’ll absolutely be back and would recommend Reels n’ Tails to anyone looking for a great day on the water.

We had an absolutely fantastic time on the water with capt Anthony. He got us on some fish immediately, and got us to a better spot when the bites slowed. Most of our group had never gone fishing before myself included, so Anthony taught us exactly what we needed to know and let us learn by just fishing. He made our group comfortable, was a great teacher, and is all around a great funny guy. I'd recommend this trip for literally anyone, this was genuinely some of the most fun I've ever had and I will without a doubt come back out soon. fish was delicious too, THANK YOU ANTHONY

Decided to book a trip for my wife and I for our honeymoon and we were not disappointed. Anthony is very knowledgeable and we definitely caught more fish than we expected. He put us on a school of Tarpon and Anthony helped as much as he could for us to get one. I am very thankful for his help and dedication towards us having a great experience. Definitely a memorable trip and I highly recommend Anthony. I will be booking him again when we are back down this way.

I’m not a fisher woman, but my husband is so he asked me to book the trip. I had no idea what I was doing booking this trip. ANYWAYS, I made a great choice; knowledgeable, fun, seriously nothing I expected. He went above and beyond to help us catch big fish and plenty of them. Along with great conversation!! Back to the I’m not a fisher woman he cash the reel for me and taught me how to reel them in on my own. Seriously we had such an awesome time and he’s more than accommodating. Only regret is wishing we kept the fish but we couldn't with living out of town but we caught so many great fish. My husband had been on a bunch of trips but this one was one of his favorites if not his favorite. Defiantly will be rebooking with him next time we are in town! You won’t regret choosing capt Anthony!! Oh and his boat is super super nice!!

My family and I had an incredible time out on the water with Captain Anthony. He called prior to our trip to get a feel of our experience level and what we were interested in targeting, making sure he planned what we were looking for. He offered to grab us food and drinks on the way to the marina - so thoughtful and kind. He was patient and kind with my teenage boys, and accomodating my husband who decided at the last minute to join. Now...on to the fish. Each and every one of us caught fish, so many I lost track. I would highly recommend and am booking again with him on our next trip to Miami!

We chose the 2-hour sunset cruise trip and had the best time ever. Anthony was flexible with us and ensured that we got to see the sunset, even though it was earlier than original booked. He had all the bait, reels and vibes ready to go, all we had to do was show up! On the way he even became a photographer and a DJ for me and my girl. Given our time limit he made sure we maximized our fishing. He clearly knows what hes talking about and the best spots to go to, especially if you are wanting to target a certain species. We were hooked up on fish almost every single cast it was a night full of action, with the city lights as our backdrop. We weren’t initially targeting sharks, but Anthony suggested that we throw a line out after we caught good “shark bait”. Then we caught not ONE but TWO sharks and BOY did they put up a fight!!! Anthony coached us through it the whole way until we got the shark to the boat, then we all helped land it. He was very respectful of the animals and made sure we were quick about handling and releasing them back into the water safely. Five stars simply isn’t enough, we could not reccomend Anthony more! If you ever want to have a real fishing experience this is the place for you.

My wife and I booked a trip last minute. Anthony accommodated us even though he didn't have too. Not only that he brought us coffee and pastries. His attitude, personality and customer service would have made the trip memorable without catching fish. But we absolutely killed it. We went to one spot and caught one fish after another for 2 and a half hours it was non stop action. We caught several species of fish and never stopped until the tide shifted and it slowed. He was ready for more and we were exhausted. Thanks Anthony you are a really diamond. WE will be back.

We got stuck in Miami from a flight connection - book with Anthony, great trip he had us catching fish non stop had a great time with our son! He caught snapper, sea trout, a small shark, ladyfish, barracuda - one of the best trips weve done!

Searching for a charter is truly aggravating and time consuming. Once we “landed” on Captain Darna, “Anthony”, I knew he was the one! Honest, professional and knowledgable of the waters in and around Miami, we truly had a blast! Caught approx a couple dozen fish, 6 different species, and thats not a fish story. Highly recommend Captain Darna, and he will accomadate your needs. Just tell him what you want and he will move mountains or reefs or whatever to make your trip memorable. He may not know this, but he is now FAMILY!
