Young anglers are always welcomed! Captain Ryan enjoys teaching the young about fishing, baiting the hook, and casting that first cast. He loves watching the smile on their face as they bring in their first catch.

    Lifetime of memories in a day !!!

    3/4 Day (PM) 6hr Trip–Offshore on April 19, 2025 • 4 adults

    We had an amazing day with captain ryan !!! He was so knowledgeable and taught us so many things. All but one of us was our first time fishing. We all caught fish in spite of our inexperience thanks to captain Ryan’s guidance. We went beyond our limit of keeping them, so we had quite a few catch and releases which made the day incredibly exciting. Not only did we catch fish on our very first time we saw some amazing wildlife thanks to Ryan’s keen eye. Sea turtles, sharks, dolphins and even a whale that broached around our boat several times. Captain ryan stayed on top of our every request and needs. At times I thought he was three people managing all of it so well. Thank you Captain Ryan for memories that will last a lifetime for my family.

    Bull Reds

    1/2 Day 4hr Trip – Inshore or Shark on October 18, 2025 • 6 adults

    We had an awesome time with Reel Adventures Fishing Charters. Captain Ryan put us on some nice bull reds and really worked hard to keep us on the fish. He accommodated our group of six easily, kept things fun, and moved around to several spots trying different baits until we were back on the bite. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the whole trip was a great experience. Highly recommend Captain Ryan if you’re looking for a solid day on the water!

    What an incredible day!

    1/2 Day 4hr Trip – Inshore or Shark on June 22, 2025 • 5 adults • 3 children

    Captain Ryan was so helpful from the first message and kept everything relaxed. We had three small children from ages 6-10 who were so excited about the experience and were not disappointed. Every single one of us caught fish. After the trip, Captain Ryan cleaned our giant Kingfish for us and even directed us where to go get it cooked. Everything was excellent. Highly recommend.

    Huge Sheepshead!!!!

    1/2 Day (PM) 4hr Trip – Offshore on April 3, 2025 • 6 adults

    Fishing was a little slow but the first catch of the day was a new Youth Fla State record. Weighing in at 7lbs 4oz. Captain Ryan was great today. The wind picked up in the afternoon but that didn’t discourage Capt Ryan from trying to put us some fish. Overall it was a great trip and we highly recommend Captain Ryan. We’re looking forward to booking our next trip!!

    BIG sharks and BIG fun!!

    1/2 Day (PM) 4hr Trip–Inshore/Shark on July 17, 2024 • 5 adults • 3 children

    We had a GREAT time with Ryan as our captain! A nasty storm that blew up just as we got started sent us back to the docks, but he took us right back out after it cleared and didn’t let it ruin our fun. We fished for sharks and landed a 4.5ft black tip and then a massive 12ft bull shark!! We also saw lots of dolphins and just had fun riding in the boat. Would definitely recommend Ryan for a fun family trip (our kiddos are 11, 8, and 5) or just anyone looking for a knowledgeable captain to put you on the fish!

    Stop Scrolling and Book

    10 Hour-Bluewater Trolling/Bottom on June 13, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

    My Son and I had an absolute blast! Captain Ryan knows where and how to put you on the fish. He can tailor your trip to the species you are after and works hard to make your trip a success. He is honest and all around a good dude. You won’t be disappointed.

    Ryan was the best!

    1/2 Day 4hr Trip –Offshore/Kingfish on June 16, 2025 • 3 adults

    We did a 4 hour deep sea charter with Ryan, he was very knowledgeable about the different types of fish we were trying to catch. We caught 2 King Mackerel, one was 15 lbs and the other was close to 40-45 lbs. We had a ton of fun!!!

    Special 4 hour trip for Amanda Cervenka on March 19, 2024 • 2 adults

    My boyfriend and I came to Florida for vacation, we booked an inshore charter and had a great time! Ive been wanting to catch a red drum for a while now and finally got to today! We even got to see dolphins and sea turtles up close which was super cool. I definitely recommend Captain Ryan for any fishing trips, we definitely will be booking with him again :)
