It was a perfect outing with our family of four (Me and my wife and our 2 boys ages 11 and 8). We started out from the harbor to go offshore fishing and had a perfect view of the sunrise while heading out!  We stopped to catch bait fish and doing so we got to see sea turtles (we got lucky)! It was fun watching the crew catch ballyhoo and cigar minnows. On our eight hour charter, we caught King Mackerel black fin tuna, yellowtail snapper, cobia, and bar jack. The crew; first mate Travis, and apprentice Billy were great and taught us so much about fishing in the keys. Captain Tony took us to some active spots and also entertained our boys with his charter stories First mate Travis filleted our fish and gave us a quick lesson on how to filet while doing so. Our boys were able to feed tarpon at the dock with the discarded fish heads at the marina. The crew even gave us recommendations on how to cook the fish and where to go that night for a restaurant to cook our catch. All in all it was a perfect day on the water and certainly a trip our family will never forget. Cheers!

Captain Tony and Travis showed myself and my family a wonderful morning! We caught 75-100 fish and the kids had a blast. A mix of yellowtail snappers, mangrove snappers, and numerous other species. The ride was short, maybe 20-25 minutes to the fishing grounds, which is excellent for small kiddos. Travis was patient with the kids despite numerous numerous missed sets and typical young kid not listening behavior. Back at the dock we heard numerous tourists complaining of not catching a solitary fish, while Travis was cleaning buckets and buckets of fish for us to take home. The boat was very large, had AC, a bathroom, and plenty of couch seating in the common area. Would absolutely book with confidence. For experienced anglers, you can tell these guys know the water, and if asked, for sure could take adults to catch monsters/tuna/sailfish/etc. Awesome that they can pivot to kid fishing for snapper, for a morning only, and put a 6/7and a 10 year old on a 100 fishing morning!

Captain Tony and Travis were great.  My son and I went on the Singing Reel this past week and had a really fun day.  We fish quite a bit but they made the day so easy and took care of everything.  The 42 ft Hatteras is a great boat and you will really appreciate it if the seas get choppy like it did with us.  We caught fish all day (Mahi and tuna).  We ate our fish for a couple of days and actually had to ship the rest home.  If looking for a good charter I would definitely take a look at them.

Capt. Tony and crew were phenomenal. Communication prior was great with Capt. Tony.  We were warmly greeted upon arrival at the dock.  The boat is beautiful and very comfortable.  We were quickly put on the fish and then poles did not stop bending. Travis, the first mate took his time teaching the techniques to my son and quickly had him landing fish after fish. His patience was wonderful.  We came with the hopes of catching enough for dinner for that night and ended up leaving with so much fish we went to Islamorada Fish Company to have them freeze and store our fish to bring home.  I can’t say enough great things about the Singing Reel.  We will surely be back again as this was just excellent.  Thank you Capt. Tony and Travis!!!

My wife, two teenage sons, and I had never done any type of fishing in the ocean before. Captain Tony and First Mate Travis were instructive and very patient with us. We each ended up catching a bunch of fish and had a fantastic time. We went out for a half day charter which was plenty of time to fish and enabled us to take our fish that we caught to a local restaurant to be cooked for lunch. The boat was very spacious and well maintained.  Overall it was an awesome trip!  I would highly recommend Singing Reel Charters for a great family outing.
