We had an outstanding experience with Sue and Captain Joe! They customized a trip for our group and were incredible with our 5yo! Super kind, patient, and fun. We’ll schedule another charter the next time we are in the area!

Outstanding Day!!, Capt Phil impressed me even before we arrived, for he was in communication with me twice as to weather conditions and possible sites for fishing.Upon arrival, we decided to stay in the intercoastal and fish for Pomano andBamm !!! He found them. We limited out before our time was up, so Capt. Philtook us on a nice ride back to the docks.One of the guest is booking with him around the X-Mas holiday and we will bebooking with him next year.

Awesome day on the water, pretty rough so fish weren't biting as fast as could have but the hospitality & dolphins were amazing! Phil & Sue are top notch

Took my wife and two boys out for a trip with Capt. Phil, and we had a blast. We caught a lot of fish, and ended up with a few keeper snappers. Phil worked very hard to ensure everyone had a great time, and was very patient with my 10 year old. I would recommend Venice Reef Charters to anyone in the area looking to book a trip.

What an awesome experience for me and my son! Captain Phil and Sue are great, hardworking people. Captain Phil got us on fish immediately and we were on fish the entire trip. Caught a lot of different fish but kept the snapper, they were great. Absolutely an awesome experience, would recommend to anyone, if you’re in the Venice/Nokomis/Sarasota area and want to catch fish, give Captain Phil and Sue a call, it will definitely be worth the time.

Awesome experience and very nice people! Caught a 10 pound grouper and about 20 or 30 smaller fish.

Phil and Sue were great! He knew where the fish were and all we had to do was to put the lines in and haul the fish out. We had a great time and will definitely go fishing with them again.

Phil was absolutely amazing! I surprised my husband, step son and his friend for my husbands birthday with a charter from Venice reef charters and due to the red tide things were a little more difficult but Phil was great about scheduling and making sure the conditions were good so my husband could have a great time and catch some fish. He would definately go again.

We would recommend fishing with Phil & Sue to anyone. We had such a time that we went on a 2nd trip before we left. We have already booked a 3rd trip for when we are back in the area.

The best day of fishing I have ever had. Captain Phil knows his stuff and takes you to best spots around for guaranteed catches. The knowledge and locations are top notch and makes for an incredible fishing experience with nonstop action.

Was truly a fun trip. Everyone caught fish and everyone caught different species! We even had some to eat. Was quite the enjoyable time.
