Safety

Updated 23 October 2026

At Reelzy, your safety is our top priority. We’re committed to ensuring that every fishing experience booked through our platform is not only enjoyable but also secure and comfortable. Since our inception, we’ve designed policies and features to protect both anglers and captains, helping you focus on what matters most: creating memorable fishing adventures.

What Reelzy checks

Honesty first: Reelzy is a small marketplace and we tell you exactly what we verify and what we do not.

  • Identity: before a listing goes live, the captain uploads a government ID and we check it.
  • Legal operation: when listing, every captain confirms that they run a legal charter with the licences and permits their country requires, and that they can show proof on request.
  • Money: you pay through Reelzy; the captain is paid after the trip, and we mediate if something goes wrong.

We do not inspect boats, insurance or safety equipment: these are the captain’s responsibility under local law. Ask your captain in the chat before you book; reputable operators are happy to show their papers.

Peace of Mind for Your Fishing Experience

Reelzy provides tools and resources to ensure a secure and stress-free fishing trip:

Profiles for Transparency

Every captain and user on Reelzy has a profile with detailed information, helping you make informed decisions. To book a trip or list a charter, we require full names, phone numbers, payment information, and verified email addresses.

Secure Messaging

Our instant messaging feature allows customers and captains to communicate seamlessly before and after booking. Use it to ask questions, coordinate trip details like directions and departure times, or simply get to know your captain better.

Verified Customer Reviews

Reviews on Reelzy can only be written after a completed trip, so every review you read comes from a real booking. We are a young marketplace, so many captains are still collecting their first reviews.
