Sailfish Day

4 Hour Trip3 adults1 child

Wonderful day on the water. We met Captain Thomas at Safe Harbor around noon and went straight out to the Ocean. A smooth day and the water quality was excellent, deep blue. We choose the live bait option (always) and the captain used his experience and the contact with other Reel E boats to focus on an area offshore. Within the first hour a giant splash with sail showing led to a solid hook up with a strong tenacious sailfish. This old guy was not coming in easy and the fight lasted for the better part of 30 min. 94 inches of tough fish as we pulled him along side and then let him go. Awesome! We were baited and going for more when one of the crew had to end the charter or I know we would have scored again. For a short day, it was epic! Thanks Captain Thomas and Thanks Reel E, Henry

    Great fishing charter

    Sunset 4pm to 8pm • 4 adults • 2 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 Trip • 6 adults • 4 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.

    Great Trip!

    8 Hour Trip • 3 adults

    Had a great time on our trip with Captain Rick. Fishing conditions on the water weren't ideal, but Captain Rick was still able to put us on some nice Kings, and get us hooked up to a big sailfish for a great fight.
