A friendly, professional and knowledgeable Captain. Perfect guide to hire whether your hard targeting various inshore species or taking your wife and kid for a nice scalloping adventure. I would recommend no one other than Kenny at Reel Epic. We will definitely fish with him again soon.

If I could give Kenny more then five stars I would. He was so down to earth and personable. Both him and his wife knew all the right spots and we're such a great team. my 13 year daughter loved being out there he cast her rod and showed her how to bring in a fish, he did everything right to make this a lasting memory for her and us. We will for sure be back

If there was a way to give 100 stars, I would. I hard grounded my boat due to a storm about 5 miles North of Keaton Beach. It was very rural and remote. I was referred to Reel Epic Charters to get to my GPS location. Not only did Kenny take me to my boat but he waited with me until high tide and pulled me out of the grass THEN towed me to a ramp because my batteries were completely dead! While I did try to do right by him, Kenny's character was revealed when I asked him what I owed him for an entire day of help. He told me I didn't owe him anything because everyone needs help every now and then

Captain Kenny is a great guide and put us on the fish during some inclement weather! We enjoyed his company and learned a lot by fishing with him. 1st class trip, will be chartering Captain Kenny on some other trips.

I wish I could give Kenny and Reel Epic Charters more stars. This was by far one of the best charters Ive ever been on. I have my own boat and do a lot of fishing as well. However I hade family come down from Oklahoma some who had never fished like this before. Needless to say Kenny put us on the fish and we slayed them. It was one of the best experiences Ive had with my family and on a charter. I will never use anyone else. Will definitely use him again to take the wife out. Amazing!!!!!

We used Reel Epic Charters for our familys first time scalloping and inshore fishing trip. We had a blast! Kenny and his wife were so helpful and engaging. Kenny put us on the fish, unfortunately not many keepers. That was ok though. We had enough fish and scallops for a good meal. Our 17 and 15 year old daughters are asking to go again. Sometimes fishing isnt all about catching and keeping, but about the lasting memories of laughter and good times.

If yall are looking for a top notch charter. With top notch equipment and knowledge of when and where to fish. This is who you should call. My wife has never caught a redfish so we gave them a call and set up a couple hour fishing trip. Just so she could catch her first redfish. Kenny said we will make about a 15 minute run and we will be on them. We arrived at the the area and he had a rod and reel rigged and handed it to her and told her to cast at that point she did and her second cast she was hooked up. We were on the fish the entire time. If there was a higher than a 5 start rating they
