Captain Rick started fishing Bass tournaments at the tender age of 10 and has also fished from piers, seawalls, and drift boats. He is super passionate about fishing and loves being on the water and just enjoying the beautiful views of nature. Capt. Rick became a fisherman because for him it's a true adrenaline rush. He loves to teach and see people learn and catch fish. The captain also fishes the local tournament circuit for Sailfish and other pelagics, and has placed against some of the best talents in the world. He says: 'Fishing is very addictive, so I guess you can say it's an addiction and a challenge.'

    Mahi hunting

    5 Hour Trip (AM)5 adults

    It was a great day on the water. Weather was perfect, the ocean was perfet.We did a 5hr morning trip. 5 people on the trip. I didn't know what to expect on a deep ocean charter. I expected to throw our lines in the water and catch fish like you see on YouTube. As the Captain stated, we are hunting. Captain took us offshore at over 1,000 feet, we were hunting Mahi. We were looking for seaweed patches where Mahi would be. We started trolling, caught several Bar Jack but released them, then the Mahi started hitting. We all caught some small ones that had to go back. Then they started hitting. We all caught one. There was a long time the action stopped. We started heading back to shore and then we seen birds so Captain turned the boat in that direction, we rode over Mahi, a sea turtle and more Bar Jacks, it was amazing to see these creatures in the water. Captain tried hard to get us on spots. This is a large ocean not a fish tank. You have to keep that in mind. The largest fish caught was a Barricuda, unfortunately you can't keep and eat them. Final take home was 6 Mahi. I would recommend at least 5hr trip. Time flies when your hunting. Overall great time on the water. Would recommend for a once in a lifetime experience.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Great Barracuda

    Great fishing charter

    Sunset 4pm to 8pm4 adults2 children

    We had an incredible time fishing with Reel E Sea Sport Fishing Charter in West Palm Beach! The captain and crew were friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard the entire trip to make sure we had a great experience. The highlight of the day was catching a sailfish, which made the trip something we will never forget. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well equipped, and the whole experience was exciting from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend Reel E Sea to anyone looking for a memorable offshore fishing trip and would definitely book with them again!

    Was a great time with 2 adults and 4 boys targeting sport fish!

    4 Hour Trip6 adults4 children

    Been on a few charters over the years and they were all a little different. This one targeted sport fish just as advertised (you won't be baiting small chinks of dead fish and casting for bottom fish (grouper) or little guys. You WILL be targeting sailfish, mahi, kingfish, etc. P.S. - NO BANANAS First catch of the day was my 14 year old son who got a sailfish!! Amazing to see leaping out of the water! Knowledgeable captain who explained some sport fishing techniques, history of the area, and how tournaments are run and scored. Overall, a great learning opportunity for the boys and even myself as an amateur angler.

    What a great time!

    4 Hour Trip (AM)4 adults1 child

    Captain Rick and his son did a fantastic job on our 4 hour trip. My son and I caught 5 sail fish, 2 tuna and a dolphin mahi. Once we were back at the marina, Captain Rick fileted the mahi and ended up on our dinner plate at a local restaurant! I would highly recommend Captain Rick if you're in the Riviera Beach area.
