Captain Ben and his deck hand, Ryan, were phenomenal. We did the half day trip and they got us right on some fish. Ryan ran his booty off keeping our hooks baited, giving tips, getting our fish in the cooler and we were catching as soon as our hooks were in the water. Captain Ben communicated with us several times before the trip, gave us great expectations on what types of fish we would be going after, and made the trip fun and informative.
The boat itself is very nice. Sheโs roomy enough for our group of 5, comfortable, well equipped and the bathroom on board was a huge plus. We will definitely be repeat customers!

Hey Deborah, your group did an awesome job catching those sheepshead. Yo also caught another 14 throwbacks or so just under the size limit. Yโall were fun and enthusiastic group.ย Thank you for fishing with us and we look forward to your return.ย Enjoy eating those fillets!
Let me begin by saying, Captain Ben and Crew, made Fatherโs Day fun and relaxing for a group of 5 men who desperately needed it. Captain Ben was able to get our guys out on the water the week of Fatherโs Day which was a blessing ๐, considering not many boat Captains had openings. Iโm truly happy it worked out that way. Captain Ben was communicative from beginning to end and, even afterwards. This is a big deal for me because nowadays that is almost unheard of. Our boys were shark fishing and, at first, to no avail. However, Captain Ben and Crew were going to do everything in their power to make it happen andโฆdid! They ended up with 3 (2 bigger and 1 smaller) beautiful Bull Sharks. We were in communication throughout. The way Captain Ben let me know they had caught their 1st shark was by sending me a recipe for shark ๐. I enjoy his humor and, the fact that he remembered I had told him I havenโt had shark in a long time and, that Iโve never had the pleasure of cooking it. Psstโฆthatโs how you keep customers coming back btw. The men stayed out a little longer than contracted because he wanted them to have fish. How awesome is that! Captain Ben and Crew, genuinely care about the experience of their passengers. The fish were cleaned and filleted beautifully and, our dinner served 16 people with plenty of uncooked shark left for each of the men to take home a full gal sized ziplock bag of shark! I will be calling on Captain Ben every time we need to catch fish and have fun doing it. I definitely and VERY highly recommend Captain Ben and his hardworking, knowledgeable, and super fun Crew! Thank you gentlemen for making OUR gentlemenโs Fatherโs Day special and fruitful! ย ย ย ย Jennifer Marlow

What a great family group of guys, a lot of fun memories was made.ย Iโm so glad you enjoyed eating the Shark filets they are awesome!ย Thank you for fishing with us and we look forward to seeing yโall again on the Reel Adventure!ย Sharkcos!
Our intent was to get some Red Fish - So, we asked Cpt Ben to try this first, then have a fallback of fishing in closer to shore.ย After a slow start pulling in a few mackerel - Cpt Ben put us on some Red Fish.ย It seemed like all of the lines were hitting one after the other- we pulled in two nice red fish and a Jack fish before things slowed a bit.ย After 30 minutes of no hits, we headed back towards shore to fish off the jetties and marina areas. We were rewarded with some speckled trout and a nice flounder.ย it was immediately clear that Cpt Ben was a highly experienced charter captain. He ran his boat smoothly and efficiently, with no drama or surprises. His mate for that day, although young, seemed like he had grown up with a rod & reel in his hand, so we were taken care of by experts.ย In all we had an excellent day of fishing and thoroughly enjoyed our time with Cpt Ben.ย I highly recommend Cpt Benโs Charters to provide a rewarding day of Gulf Fishing. We look forward to coming back again soon.

Dean you and Steve were a pleasure to have aboard the Reel Adventure. Yโall fished hard and stayed positive throughout the day.ย I look forward to fishing with you again!
Captain Ben was fantastic. He called me several days before our trip to ask about our groupโs experience level, which I really appreciatedโespecially since our wives donโt normally fish. Before we headed out, he took the time to explain what they could expect, walked them through the gear, and made sure they felt comfortable and ready to have fun.
We limited out on redfish within the first hour, then spent the rest of the trip chasing flounder and sand trout. Iโve been on more than a dozen charter trips, and Captain Benโs customer service easily ranks in the top three.

Richard, We really enjoyed the day with you and your family. You guys put the hammer down on those Red-Fish.ย Yaโll were a pleasure to have aboard.ย Thank you for fishing with us and we look forward to another trip with you.
What a great experience for our family. Hard to put into words the enjoyment watching my 11 year old real in a fish the size of a cooler! She will remember that forever. Beautiful afternoon and evening spent catching fish with my loved ones. Captain Ben was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Ryan took care of all of us, we were pampered fishermen & women. Thank you so much. We would love to come back!
