Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE METHOD

Kite Fishing, Trolling and Drift

Reel E Sea will arrange the style of saltwater fishing you want—trolling, kite fishing, wreck and reef fishing, or drift fishing—so you can target bottom species or pelagic fish depending on season and preference.

THE BOAT

A 28-foot, 50-knot Workhorse

The charter boat is 28 feet long, carries up to five guests, and can make 50 knots—minimizing transit time to productive grounds—and comes equipped with safety features, navigational aids and fish finders.

THE SERVICE

All Gear and Crew Support Included

Your charter includes rods, reels, tackle, lures, live bait and the required fishing licenses; a first mate is aboard to help you fish, teach techniques, and will clean and fillet your catch at the end of the trip.

What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

An 8-hour run with Captain Rick is paced for fishing rather than sightseeing: quick transit aboard a fast, well-equipped 28-foot boat brings you to chosen inshore or offshore spots where the mate rigs lines, instructs guests, and helps with everything from live-bait setups to kite fishing; at trip’s end the crew will clean and fillet your catch.
