Reel Cortez Charters - Fishing Charters & Tours

Went out today and spent more time pulling the anchor in than fishing. Captain was not engaged with us at all. He did nothing but order Seth around. We fished about 20% of the time and messed with the anchor 80%. Absolutely no direction or help fishing. Would not recommend at all.

Captain Andrew took us out for a four hour tour finishing with a sunset. I highly recommend these guys for all your water activities. His knowledge of the local area and wild life was great and we saw a ton of wildlife ! Dolphins, Manatees, birds….

Took a 4hr inshore charter. Captain Andrew was excellent, he provided an outstanding trip.His knowledge of the fishing grounds was impressive. After a slow start we couldn’t keep up with the amount of fish he put us onto. On a side note, I observed Captain Andrew go out of his way to provide an outstanding experience for one of the disabled charter guests. He was patient and kind which made the trip even more rewarding. Cheers, and thank you for such a wonderful day with Grandpa. Hope to fish with you again.

The Captain lost the anchor and therefore we could not fish on the bottom. We trolled for 4 hours and only caught one nice Benita. Seth was nice but was being trained by the Captain Andrew and I though he was kind of rude to Seth, but not sure how training a first mate might go. We spent a lot of money and felt like once the anchor was gone, the Captain should have cancelled the trip and took us back to shore. We did receive $ 300.00 back, but felt we should have gotten more back, but lesson well learned. The original cost was $900.00 for six hours for five people. With the return of $300.00 the trip was still not worth it. One fish and a few little one (5) I think. I usually don't like to leave a review because things do happen and I understand that, but when the anchor was lost, we should have gone back to shore and a larger refund given. Captain Andrew said we lost the anchor at 9:30am. We should have gone back to the shore don't you think Captain Andrew? We spent the first hour and half fishing for live bait and then never got to use them, but I am sure the 1:00PM charter was able to use them, we all felt like Captain was fishing for the next charter anyway. Maybe not??? Captain Andrew stated that he never wanted to be a captain and didn't want to do what he was doing, that did not make us feel he enjoyed his job. The one star is for the Captain and not necessarily the Charter Tour Company. But he does represent them. So with being said, we will try someone else next time we are in Florida.
