REEL DEAL - Real Deal Sportfishing

The REEL DEAL

The REEL DEAL is a 34′ Delta sportfishing boat powered by a 365 horse-powered Yanmar diesel engine. Licensed to carry up to 6 passengers, this safe, clean, comfortable vessel carries state-of-the-art Furuno GPS bottom-sounder and radar and is equipped with Coast Guard approved safety equipment, EPIRB radio beacon, life preservers, flares, and throwable life ring. There is a bathroom, tuna tower, outriggers for offshore trolling, fish-fighting chairs, and plenty of seating on board. Your charter will include everything you need for a day of fishing – all licensing, bait, tackle, rods, and reels. We provide ice, coolers, and fish cleaning. All you need to bring with you is your personal food and drink (alcohol okay). The REEL DEAL is located in Clearwater Municipal Marina at 25 Causeway Blvd Slip #31, Clearwater Beach, FL 33767.

The CAPTAIN

Captain Tucker Reese was born in Macomb, Illinois. He grew up fishing in the freshwater lakes and streams of the small-town midwest for crappie, bluegill, bass, and catfish. Always interested in the outdoors, Tucker graduated cum laude in 1998 with a bachelor’s in forestry from Western Illinois University. Tucker moved to beautiful Clearwater Beach, Florida in 1999 and began working on a charter headboat as a deckhand and then earning his captains license. After 9 years of working on and running a headboat in the Gulf of Mexico, Capt. Tucker made the switch to a more personalized fishing experience on a private charter vessel which he helmed until 2016 as a 100 ton master captain. Reel Deal Sportfishing is thrilled to have him on our crew as Captain of the REEL DEAL with his great experience and enthusiasm for fishing!

Wow, what an adventure! Captain Tucker was amazing!!!! He made our trip a memorable one. His experience and personality made the difference. Everyone in our group enjoyed ourselves and felt we had the attention we needed to ensure we all … More caught something and had a blast doing it! If they weren’t biting, he was on to the next spot where the fish were biting! We can’t say enough about the experience we had and how wonderful Captain Tucker made our trip for us! We will definitely be back!!

I know what you’re thinking, and you’re wrong. This is not just another charter. This, my friends, must be experienced to be believed. Not only were Tucker and Deanna an absolute delight to spend the day with, they also helped us haul in … More some serious fish. The boats, equipment, and language were impeccably clean (which is saying something). It really was a great trip and I would highly recommend them for your next event or family day out. No matter what, you’ll return with a story and a smile. I’m not going to tell you some crazy story about how we caught the largest mackerel ever recorded, but I’m not saying we didn’t. Do with that what you will.

I took my kids (including my 8 yr old daughter) on a 3/4 day trip this week. We had a blast! We were worried about the weather at first but Capt Steve put our minds at ease. He definitely put us on the fish and Zach,the mate, did an … More outstanding job of keeping us fishing. This is my second trip with Reel Deal and it definitely won't be my last. Well done

Reel Deal knows where the fish are! We had a blast and learned a lot in just our half day charter. Our only regret was not booking the full day because the fish never stopped biting! Thank you Capt. Tucker & Deanna, yall were great … More guides!We highly recommend anyone looking to go fishing in the Tampa/Clearwater area to book with Reel Deal! Their location is very very convenient, the boat was well maintained compared to others we saw. The crew was fun, informative and helpful with everything. Worth every dollar!
