EXCURSIONS
We offer amazing excursions and customizable packages catered to your liking.
At Reels Up, our mission is to provide an extraordinary experience for beginner and seasoned anglers alike. Aboard the Dream Catcher, you will be equipped with everything you need from tackle, and bait, to packaging materials to bring your filets home! ​
Up to 3 people per charter under normal circumstances, however during the winter blackfish season we take up to 4 people . Charter rate covers everything you will need and is bundled for the whole party not per person. Don't forget to tip your captain for his lunch fund!😉 A $150 Deposit is due at booking with full payment due 24 hours before the excursion. See our cancellation policy for more details.
If one of the excursions below doesn't fit your needs feel free to reach out and talk to the captain via text, email, or social media! We will customize a excursion that fits your needs.
THE BLOCK ISLAND
Looking to coast the Block Island Sound? Catch your personal best trophy-sized striper?! or maybe a seabass mayhem?
On this excursion, we will cast artificial lures or 3-way/live line eels to catch hold of a brag-worthy striped bass! Other options include sea bass and fluke.
8-9 HOURS | $1000
THE GRAND SLAM
Our Grand Slam excursion welcomes aboard fishermen who are ready to spend the day at sea.
The grand slam is comparable to the Fishfinder excursion in that we will be targeting the same species except with more time and more options for areas to fish. More time means a better chance of catching fish!
7-8 HOURS | $800
