6 Hour – Troll & Bottom Fishing on March 25, 20263 adults
This was my wife and 16 year old son’s first fishing excursion together. Captain Tyler and First mate Allen got us to some great locations. Their hospitality, attention to detail, dedication, and faithfulness to provide an experience to remember is second to known. They will be honest with you about what to expect and the types of fish that are in season. They will do their absolute best to exceed your expectations. Our trip was on March 25th. We caught several Vermillion Snapper, some large Grouper, a Toad fish, a Big Eye Toro, and 2 large Amberjack. We also caught a Shark on our way back! 🦈 I highly recommend this team. I will be fishing with them again soon and will recommend them to everyone I know planning a vacation to Destin.

Awesome fishing charter and a perfect family experience! Captain Tyler was great and put us right on the fish. Alan was patient, helpful, and awesome with the kids. We caught trigger fish, grouper, vermillion, and snapper, so there was never a dull moment. The kids were excited and felt like real fishermen, they even managed to sneak in a boat nap.  Fun, laid-back, and well run from start to finish. Highly recommend, especially for families!

Fishing Trip of a Lifetime
10 Hour Trip- Lets go DEEP on August 23, 20256 adults
We had a total of 6 people on the charter fishing. We caught A LOT of fish and a big variety. The really big catches were two sharks the biggest around 6 1/2 foot and the second around 6 foot. Another big catch was a huge sailfish that was over 6 ft. Everyone had plenty of fish to take home for a few dinners. The captain knew where and how to get us on the fish. The first mate did a great job navigating around us and baiting us back up. He did a good job making sure we landed all the fish we brought to the top. The boat was also really clean with cold AC in the cabin. We highly recommend this charter for the 10 hour trip.

6 Hour – Troll & Bottom Fishing on June 20, 20253 adults3 children
Couldn’t have been happier with the fishing experience. Very unsure about taking 3 small children along, but captain Tyler and first mate Allan were exceptional. Kids had a blast and we consistently caught fish through the whole 6 hours we were on board. We did not have a target species as I just told the captain “we just want to catch fish and keep the little ones involved” and Always Tight delivered. When the littles got hot, needed to lay down, or go potty they were able to go inside the cabin and soak up some ac etc. Great experience and have already recommended to multiple other friends/family.
