Testimonials

Captain Gary took us out in the morning and even bumped up our start time to beat the heat! His deckhand was extremely helpful as well with help us catch Grouper, a few Bonito and even a shark! This trip was a great experience and would recommend it to any type of fisherman, experienced or not it was a blast. If I find myself down in the area again I’ll be sure to book with Captain Gary again, well worth the money! P.S. the grouper that they fileted for us was delicious when we took it home and threw it on the grill! Makes for great dinner plans if you take fish home! Thanks again Captain Gary!

Honestly what’s better than a day out on the water doing exactly what we set out for. We booked a 5- hour Hogfish charter and loaded the box with the first 2 hours. then we headed out further for some AJs and King Mackeral. the days was perfect. they worked hard, put us on fish, played great music and made it a perfect day. 10/10.

Couldn’t have asked for a better Father’s Day out on the water with my pops and the Reel Bliss crew. Captain Gary went above and beyond to put us on fish. He was by far one of the most focused capt scanning for fish and had a very chill and professional demeanor. His deckhand Aiden was great keeping us baited at all times. There was even moments where we were doubled up and him passing over the rod to keep cranking them up. The bite was so hot we couldn’t bait fast enough. We hit limit at our first stop within a half hour. From there we moved onto a little bit deeper waters, aiming for the grouper. Hooked into multiple monster grouper and we were able to put two on the deck and one on ice. Overall, I could not ask for more out of a six hour charter. If you’re looking to get put on good eating fish and have a great time then Captain Gary’s the one! I will certainly be continuing to book offshore charters Captain Gary and Reel Bliss. Thanks again for having us 🤙

5 Hour Trip - QUICK TRIP OFFSHORE! on July 15, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

All fishing trips come with uncertainty. One of our gang was sea-sick the entire time. We had to do some searching to find the fish, but we certainly did find the fish. Mostly smaller fish the entire time. Never did get to land any decent sized fish. Tackle varies as well. We had smaller tackle, but the crew had our hooked baited quickly after every catch and we came back with over 30 keepers to eat at a local restaurant! Aidan was ACES and Captain Gary was great as well. Overall a super fun time.

Captain Gary and 1st mate Aiden were great!!! They both took the time out to help my 11 yr old learn how to cast and he ended getting the biggest hogfish of the day!! Definitely a good day out.

His professionalism and experience was evident from start to finish. Being a licensed captain, he ran a safe and sturdy operation with excellent situational awareness. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the necessary gear to ensure a successful outing. He also keeps a fun and light atmosphere and had us laughing during the trip while still being laser focused on slamming the next catch.It was clear to us that being a fishing guide isn’t just a job for him but something he truly enjoys. His dedication to the craft combined with a customer-first approach made the experience not only productive but one to remember.
