Testimonials from Our Guests
We hired Reel Sharp Charters for a fun day on the water with our kids. The trip exceeded our expectations. We saw dolphins, manatee and even a sea turtle. My daughters were over joyed! Captain Glenn took us to all his great fishing spots and put us on a ton of fish. Captain Glenn was great with my kids teaching them how to fish with success. He had so much patience and knowledge. He even cleaned all our fish and wrapped them up for us to take home. We will definitely be using Reel Sharp Charters again! Highly recommend!! Five Star all the way!

Client Testimonial
Our family had an unforgettable fishing experience with Captain Glenn! He was incredibly patient with us, especially since we’re not the most experienced anglers. Captain Glenn’s expertise and resourcefulness were evident throughout the trip, and he made sure everyone felt involved and capable. I especially appreciated his perspective that fishing is a team effort, with the whole boat working together to bring in the catch. It made the experience even more enjoyable and memorable for all of us. We couldn’t be happier with our trip and highly recommend Reel Sharp Fishing!
