A Pensacola Fishing Charter That Knows How to Catch Fish & Have Fun!

With Reel Adventure Charters, you'll have exceptional opportunities to catch plenty of fish and enjoy a memorable time on the water. The captains are not only highly skilled, but also incredibly passionate about what they do.

Reel Adventure Charters is run by four captains: Rick Durant, Jake Durant, Jeff McNew and Clay Hinton. Captains Rick and Jake Durant were born and raised in Pensacola and have been outdoorsmen for as long as they can remember.

In January 2026, Captain Jeff McNew and Captain Clay Hinton joined the team, adding two more boats to the fleet. Gulf Bay Charters and Reel Adventure Charters have combined forces and now fish as one crew.

Our boats run out of Southwind Marina, on the Perdido Key side of Pensacola, and serve travelers from Pensacola, Perdido Key and Orange Beach, AL.

If you are looking for an experienced captain, who loves a great day out on the water, this is the outfit for you!

Four boats, four captains
