Both boats are equipped with state-of-the-art tackle and experienced captains and crew to ensure a successful and enjoyable fishing trip.

Service and Guides
The guides and crew at Reel Surprise receive high praise from most reviewers. Elizabeth, the guide, is particularly mentioned for her excellent service and vast knowledge of fishing. The captains and deckhands are also commended for their friendly and knowledgeable assistance. However, Loretta Harris mentions having a mediocre experience, citing issues with the rods and bait.
Fish Catch and Variety
Many reviewers raved about the abundant fish catches, including Red Snapper, with some mentioning that their group caught their limit. Craig D. notes that the fish were not as large as in previous years, but everyone still caught their limit. Amanda Scott, on the other hand, expresses disappointment with the limited availability of bait and the loss of fishing time due to an interior window issue.
Fleet and Boat
Most reviewers praise the condition and cleanliness of the boats, with Amanda Scott being the only exception, mentioning that the interior window on her boat was faulty. Craig D. notes that the boat's condition has deteriorated slightly since his previous trip.
Value and Value for Money
Rick Burdick mentions that Reel Surprise offers the best price in town for a walk-on/head boat. Nate Roy and Steve Dix highly recommend the charter, citing the value for money. Amanda Scott, however, feels that she got ripped off due to the fish cleaning issue.
