John Ellis, Captain at Reef Wrecker Fishing Charters

If you’re looking for a fun, action-packed day on the water, Reef Wrecker Fishing Charters in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, is ready to deliver. Led by Captain John Ellis, a fourth-generation fisherman with deep roots in the Daytona Beach area, this charter combines local expertise, top-quality gear, and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps guests coming back year after year.


Captain John grew up surrounded by saltwater and family tradition. His grandfather and great-grandfather fished these same waters for decades, and now he continues that legacy with a modern touch. Whether you’re a first-timer learning to cast or an experienced angler chasing a personal best, Captain John knows how to tailor each trip to meet your goals and skill level.

Step aboard the 25’ Ken Craft center console, a comfortable and well-equipped vessel that accommodates up to 6 guests. It’s fitted with quality rods, reels, and all the tackle you’ll need for a productive day. The boat also features an ice box to keep your catch fresh and plenty of space to relax between bites.


Choose from 3- to 12-hour trips that explore the inshore and offshore waters of New Smyrna Beach and the nearby Atlantic coast. Depending on the season and conditions, you’ll target species like Redfish, Snook, King Mackerel, Cobia, Snapper, and Sharks. Each trip is an adventure of its own, with techniques that may include light or heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, spinning, or drift fishing.


All bait, tackle, and fishing licenses are provided, so you can focus entirely on fishing. You’re welcome to keep your legal catch, and the captain is happy to offer advice on the best ways to cook your fresh fillets. Snacks and drinks are included, but you can bring your own cooler with extra refreshments if you’d like.


Families are more than welcome — kids love the excitement of reeling in their first fish, and Captain John’s friendly, patient approach makes him a favorite among young anglers. Every trip is designed to be safe, comfortable, and fun for everyone on board.


When you fish with Reef Wrecker Fishing Charters, you’re not just booking a trip — you’re joining a Florida family that’s been sharing their passion for fishing for generations. Come see why New Smyrna Beach is one of the Sunshine State’s favorite coastal gems and make memories that will last long after you’ve left the dock.
