Reel Grace Fishing Charters

We have fished on the Reel Grace multiple times, and every trip has been a fantastic experience. I love fishing with Captain Cliff and first mate Austin—they always provide excellent service.

Captain Cliff put us on the fish, and Zack did an incredible job helping everyone keep bait in the water and land catches like red snapper, Spanish mackerel, and various other snapper, even returning some nice out-of-season triggers. We had a mix of first-timers and experienced anglers, and they made sure everyone had a great time and caught plenty of fish.

We took our 6 and 4-year-olds on their first fishing trip, and Captain Cliff and Zach were incredibly kind, ensuring the kids caught some fish too! We caught plenty of red snapper and tuna. We had a blast and will definitely be booking again!

What an amazing day of fishing! Captain Cliff and CJ were fantastic guides, incredibly knowledgeable, and kept us on fish throughout the entire trip. We caught mahi, snapper, vermillion, grouper, triggerfish, squirrelfish, and ruby lips! Due to the season, we were able to keep the mahi and snapper. CJ expertly prepared them, and we enjoyed a delicious family-style meal at Brotula’s. It was phenomenal! Cliff and CJ were hospitable and welcoming to our family, especially considering it was my wife’s and daughter’s first time fishing. This was my son’s 7th fishing trip, and after we finished and headed back, he gave me a thumbs up and said, “Best trip ever!” I’ve been on several fishing trips, including in the Dominican Republic, Hawaii, and on the East Coast, and I have to agree with my son—this was the best trip ever! Cliff, CJ, a huge thank you for giving our family a memory we will cherish for a lifetime! Thank you so much!

This was our inaugural charter trip, and Captain Cliff and First Mate Kyle were incredibly patient with us as complete novices. Captain Cliff answered numerous questions before and during the trip, ensuring we were well-prepared. On our way out, we were fortunate to witness a rare 25-foot whale shark. Despite half of our crew feeling seasick, we managed to catch our limit of red snapper and a variety of other fish. Kyle diligently kept all the ladies' hooks baited and ensured they were taken care of. Captain Cliff provided ample opportunities for us to reel in fish, with bites coming as soon as our lines hit the bottom—often resulting in double catches on the same pole. We even had the chance to hook some Mahi Mahi. By the end of the trip, two members of our six-person crew were fishing until their arms were sore from reeling in fish. It was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend Captain Cliff and First Mate Kyle. The air conditioning onboard was a definite plus! You won’t be disappointed!

We took a 5-hour morning trip with four of our 6-7-year-olds. Since it was their first time offshore, we opted for a shorter trip instead of a full day. When one of the kids started feeling queasy, we switched to targeting snapper instead of trolling, ensuring we could catch plenty of fish. The crew guided us to a productive spot where we quickly caught our limit, allowing us to head back a bit earlier than planned. The 4-5 hour trip was ideal for introducing our kids to offshore fishing—we would definitely book again.
