"Phenomenal fishing trip—crew was amazing and the boat was extremely comfortable!" – Samuel G.
What to Expect on Your 10-Hour Deep Sea Fishing Trip
Get ready for a full day of serious fishing and smooth sailing aboard Reel Groovy.

Whether you're an experienced fisherman or just want more action and freedom than shorter trips allow, the 10-hour adventure offers the ideal mix of flexibility, comfort, and high catch potential.

The only fishing charter we will use when visiting PCB! Captain Gary and deckhand Josh made sure we stayed catching fish, they were the best!

I would highly recommend Captain Gary with Reel GrooV fishing charter. Our group of 8 had the best time caught 40+ keepers, plenty to take home for a little fish fry. Thanks again Gary for your hospitality aboard your boat today.

We had a blast. Gary and crew are amazing. They worked very hard at keeping lines in the water and were super friendly. The boat was clean and they really included our kids in the experience. I will definitely charter with them again if I have the opportunity. Give them a try. You won't regret it.
