Reel Em’ N Deep Sea Fishing

Reel ‘Em N Deep Sea Fishing Charters is a private offshore and nearshore fishing charter operating out of Tybee Island, Georgia, serving anglers fishing the Savannah area and nearby Atlantic waters. The charter is run by Captain Derek Brown, who has spent more than 15 years fishing this stretch of the Georgia coast. Trips are private only and are built for groups that want dedicated boat time rather than shared or headboat-style outings.

Reel ‘Em N Charters fishes a wide range of water depending on trip length. Shorter trips work artificial reefs close to shore, while longer runs push out to natural ledges, hard bottom, and the Snapper Banks. Trip options range from half-day outings to extended offshore days, allowing anglers to choose how far offshore they want to fish and how much time they want on the grounds. Departures are based out of Tybee Island, which keeps run times shorter compared to inland ports and allows more time fishing.

Fishing is done aboard Reel ‘Em N II, a 43-foot Torres sportfisher built for offshore work and large groups. The boat can carry up to 20 anglers and is equipped with enclosed restrooms, livewell, satellite phone, radar, GPS, fish-finding electronics, and required Coast Guard safety gear. Power comes from Caterpillar diesel engines, giving the range and reliability needed for longer offshore trips.

Target species vary by season and distance offshore. Nearshore and reef trips commonly produce sea bass, sheepshead, flounder, Spanish and king mackerel, barracuda, and amberjack. Longer trips target snapper, grouper, cobia, shark, and other offshore species, with mahi-mahi showing up during the right conditions. The charter also markets dedicated shark fishing trips, focusing on large coastal species such as hammerhead, lemon, blacktip, tiger, and thresher sharks.

Reel ‘Em N Deep Sea Fishing Charters is well suited for larger groups, families, and parties looking for a private offshore fishing trip near Savannah. With multiple trip lengths, a high-capacity offshore boat, and access to both reef and deepwater grounds, the operation offers a range of options for anglers who want to fish offshore out of Tybee Island without sharing the boat with other groups.
