Captain Tony and first mate Travis were outstanding. We hooked into yellowtail on the reef and, even though it was a tough day overall with very slow trolling and bottom fishing for all the charters on the water, they worked nonstop to put us on fish.
They were hands-down the best crew out thereโsuper friendly, patient, and genuinely fun to be around. Travis was great about explaining what was going on and making sure everything was easy and relaxed, while Captain Tony clearly knew the water and kept adjusting the plan to give us the best possible shot.
Even on a quiet day, they made the trip enjoyable, professional, and memorable. Highly recommend booking with themโweโll definitely be back.

It was a perfect outing with our family of four (Me and my wife and our 2 boys ages 11 and 8). We started out from the harbor to go offshore fishing and had a perfect view of the sunrise while heading out!ย We stopped to catch bait fish and doing so we got to see sea turtles (we got lucky)! It was fun watching the crew catch ballyhoo and cigar minnows. On our eight hour charter, we caught King Mackerel black fin tuna, yellowtail snapper, cobia, and bar jack. The crew; first mate Travis, and apprentice Billy were great and taught us so much about fishing in the keys. Captain Tony took us to some active spots and also entertained our boys with his charter stories First mate Travis filleted our fish and gave us a quick lesson on how to filet while doing so. Our boys were able to feed tarpon at the dock with the discarded fish heads at the marina. The crew even gave us recommendations on how to cook the fish and where to go that night for a restaurant to cook our catch. All in all it was a perfect day on the water and certainly a trip our family will never forget. Cheers!

Thank you! it was a pleasure having you all aboard. We appreciate your awesome review and choosing us as our charter of choice. We hope to have you aboard again the the future. Always Capt Tony @ Travis
Captain Tony and Travis showed myself and my family a wonderful morning! We caught 75-100 fish and the kids had a blast. A mix of yellowtail snappers, mangrove snappers, and numerous other species. The ride was short, maybe 20-25 minutes to the fishing grounds, which is excellent for small kiddos. Travis was patient with the kids despite numerous numerous missed sets and typical young kid not listening behavior. Back at the dock we heard numerous tourists complaining of not catching a solitary fish, while Travis was cleaning buckets and buckets of fish for us to take home. The boat was very large, had AC, a bathroom, and plenty of couch seating in the common area. Would absolutely book with confidence. For experienced anglers, you can tell these guys know the water, and if asked, for sure could take adults to catch monsters/tuna/sailfish/etc. Awesome that they can pivot to kid fishing for snapper, for a morning only, and put a 6/7and a 10 year old on a 100 fishing morning!

Our family of five booked with Singing Reels a few days before we arrived at Islamorada. we were happy we did. Capt Tony put us on tuna within 10 min of starting fishing and we had a limit within an hour and a half.ย Travis was a great first mate, and helped out kids out the whole trip. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a great day on the water.
Capt. Tony and crew were phenomenal. Communication prior was great with Capt. Tony.ย We were warmly greeted upon arrival at the dock.ย The boat is beautiful and very comfortable.ย We were quickly put on the fish and then poles did not stop bending. Travis, the first mate took his time teaching the techniques to my son and quickly had him landing fish after fish. His patience was wonderful.ย We came with the hopes of catching enough for dinner for that night and ended up leaving with so much fish we went to Islamorada Fish Company to have them freeze and store our fish to bring home.ย I canโt say enough great things about the Singing Reel.ย We will surely be back again as this was just excellent.ย Thank you Capt. Tony and Travis!!!
