My wife and I went on an early morning Tarpon adventure with Captain Chris Berglund, and boy did he deliver on his promise to put some fish in the Air! Before the sun was up we had one of those silver monsters on the boat and were unlucky to not have a couple more! However we did hook into some other species before Chris asked if I was down with some offshore jigging on the reef and wrecks. On our way out Chris spotted a bull Mahi mahi at the surface and before I knew it I was once again hooked up and watching the show! We continued jigging and got amongst some good Bonito, and couple of different species of Jack.
10/10 would do it all again! Captain Chris was a wealth of knowledge about the Keys and all the wildlife above and below the surface! Professional and just and all around good guy he turned a charter trip into a unforgettable adventure.

Reel Easy Fishing Charters called the day before to introduce themselves and reviewed our desired fish species / style of fishing and advised what the hottest bit was.  This communication actually made us change our mind on our trip location and target fish.  Capt. Jarred put us on a hot bit of mangrove snapper and yellow tail snapper of which we limited on both.  Also had a school of Yellow Jacks show up around the boat and we had a ball catching those hard fighting fish as well.  Capt Jarred allowed us to fish.  Showed us the preferred way to hook our bait and let us go.  He was there to assist every step to make a great trip for our family.  Thanks Jarred and Reel Easy Charters.  We will be back!!

These guys run a first rate operation.  They are very friendly, knowledgeable and most of all…FUN.  Great boats and equipment as well.  They put us on fish of all types…tarpon, snapper, jacks, sharks, etc.  Just a great day for me and my boys who flew in from Maryland to catch fish.  Captain John messaged us the night before indicating that we should get out a little early to have the best success.  They even picked us up at our hotel dock in the morning to save us the Uber ride.  After fishing, the staff at Hurricane Hole grilled up our catch and we ate and drank like kings.  Bravo everyone!  We’ll be back again!!

Captain John is an AMAZING man and awesome captain! He had my 16 year old son Bobby and myself on a DOUBLE tarpon hookup and I watched my son battle a 100 pound tarpon for 40 minutes which we landed. John comes from a family of TRUE CONCHS and it just doesn’t get any better than that in the keys and his sons are also doing what their father does…PUTTING PEOPLE ON FISH. Not many captains out there that will take their Costa sunglasses off their faces when your sons sunglasses break and hand them to him…. I need say no more. Thank you John for a memory of a lifetime and we will see you again sir!  Hopefully sooner than later!  Bob Botsford

Enthusiastically Recommend Reel Easy Charter!! We have been on many fishing charters, but Reel Easy is definitely in a class to itself. Captain Steven knows his stuff and put us on Tarpon in just minutes to getting to our spot, we hooked one in less than 10 minutes of spotting them. My 14yo son fought his fish for over an hour, the entire time Captain Steven worked to help him better fight the fish. In the afternoon with Captain Steven, we visited the flats where we hooked several Snappers and Sharks, Including hooking some Black Tips and Lemons, but the Grand Finale was hooking a monster Bull to close the afternoon. Awesome trip!! Awesome day!! We have taken many charters when in Key West, however Reel Easy hands down has been by far and away the best!!! We will only charter through Reel Easy for now on!! Captain Steven and Reel Easy are passionate about fishing and it shows!! If you’re visiting Key West and planning a fishing charter, don’t miss going out with Reel Easy, it will be an awesome trip!!
