Tony Varano
Reel Compulsive Fishing Charters is a New Smyrna Beach–based operation offering a wide range of inshore and offshore fishing trips designed for anglers of all experience levels. Owned and operated by Captain Tony Varano, the charter reflects decades of local knowledge and hands-on time spent fishing Florida’s east coast waters. As a New Smyrna Beach native with more than 25 years as a professional captain, Tony understands the seasonal movements, structure, and patterns that consistently produce fish.
Trips take place aboard a 42-foot Egg Harbor sportfishing boat powered by twin 550 HP Detroit engines. The boat is built for comfort, speed, and reliability, allowing guests to reach productive fishing grounds efficiently. Onboard amenities include spacious deck space, live wells, tuna tubes, and all required safety equipment. Every trip includes fishing licenses for everyone onboard, along with rods, reels, tackle, and bait. A knowledgeable first mate is also present to assist with rigging, baiting hooks, and landing fish throughout the day.
Reel Compulsive Fishing Charters offers flexibility in both trip length and fishing style. Inshore trips focus on local inlets, bridges, and nearshore structure while targeting species such as Redfish, Tarpon, Snapper, and Jack Crevalle. Offshore trips venture farther out to reefs and wrecks where anglers can pursue Grouper, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, and other pelagic species depending on the season.
A variety of techniques are used to match conditions and target species. Guests may bottom fish, troll, jig, drift, spin, pop, or fly fish during their trip. Captain Tony tailors each outing to current conditions and guest preferences, making every trip productive and enjoyable. At the end of the day, the crew is happy to clean and prepare your catch if you choose to take fish home.
Trips range from 3 to 10 hours, making it easy to find an option that fits your schedule. With a strong local background, a capable vessel, and a focus on quality time on the water, Reel Compulsive Fishing Charters delivers dependable fishing experiences in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
