Reel Addiction Fishing Charters is a Gulf Breeze, Florida-based charter company offering private fishing and sightseeing trips from Pensacola Beach and nearby waters. The operation runs multiple boat options, including a 27' Ameracat and Blazer Bay vessels, and schedules trips ranging from two to eight hours to fit short cruises or full-day offshore fishing. Trips include inshore, nearshore, Gulf offshore, shark fishing, catch-and-release options, and scenic two-hour cruises that visit Ft. McRee and frequent dolphin areas. Target species vary by trip and include Red Snapper, Grouper, Trout, Redfish, Sheepshead, Flounder, and larger sharks such as hammerheads and bull sharks on designated shark trips. Many charters provide complimentary fish cleaning, ice, and water; the captain confirms weather and sea conditions ahead of scheduled departures to prioritize safety and comfort. The crew focuses on private, personalized experiences for anglers of all skill levels as well as non-fishing guests seeking coastal wildlife and historic sites.
