Booking Reel Tight Fishing Charters gives you the opportunity to enjoy Sarasota in a completely different way. You’ll go out with a knowledgeable and professional captain, who will take you to the local honey holes and make sure you have a productive fishing trip.

Get on board the 24’ Pathfinder bay boat, powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine. The vessel has a maximum cruising speed of 35 knots and is equipped with navigational equipment. There’s a wireless trolling motor, an anchoring system, a live bait tank, and an icebox to store the refreshments. The boat can comfortably accommodate up to 6 anglers.

Each trip with Reel Tight Fishing Charters can be customized to your needs and the fish you would like to catch. You can choose how much time you want to spend on the water. The crew will provide you with all the equipment you need, so all you need to do is get out and get on the fish!

Depending on the trip you choose to go on, expect to catch a variety of species found in the area. You can target fish like Cobia, King Mackerel, Jack Crevalle, Snook, Mangrove Snapper, Redfish, Tarpon, Grouper, Sheepshead, Barracuda, Shark, and Tripletail.

Your captain is especially great with kids, so a day out with him is fun for all ages. Don’t hesitate to bring your family, and make this a trip they’ll always remember!

The crew will be happy to clean and fillet your catch so you can take it home and have a great meal. The only thing you might want to bring with you is some sun protection, and some food and drinks to stay refreshed.

Start packing, join Reel Tight Fishing Charters, and have an unforgettable adventure on the beautiful Florida waters!

Amazing Fishing Trip for Our Group of 6
4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 23, 20256 adults
We had an absolutely great time on the fishing trip with Reel Tight Fishing Charter for the 6 of us The captain “Luke” went above and beyond in ensuring everyone was comfortable and had a great time. They were incredibly patient and accommodating, especially with us "newbies.". The boat was in top condition, the equipment was the finest, and the crew worked diligently to get everyone a chance to reel some fish in. We couldn't have asked for a better experience — would highly recommend Reel Tight Fishing Charter to anyone looking for a fishing adventure to recall!

Overcame a rocky start
4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 11, 20253 adults3 children
I booked Reel Tight Charters through your app. We arrived for a 8am 4 hour charter on time. The owner had no idea we were scheduled for a fishing charter. They were not prepared to accommodate us for an am excursion. They offered a 4 hour pm trip the same day. We agreed to go back to our vacation home and return at 1pm to go on the charter. Our Captain was Luke. Very personable and great with the kids aged 10 through 15. Caught six species of fish. Filleted and packed in ziplocks for quick transfer to our cooler. What started out as a stressful morning turned into a great experience with my son, son-in-law and 3 grandchildren. Captain Luke even stayed out a bit longer to accommodate my youngest grandson . Will definitely consider again if we return. Thanks Luke for a great day of fishing

Third year of having a great fishing trip
6 Hour Trip (AM) on June 24, 20254 adults1 child
Luke did a great job. He got us on fish on every spot. We just kept forgetting we weren't on Lake Erie or in a river. He was really informative and great with the boys. We ended up catching nine different species: Speakled Trout, Lady Fish, Gag Grouper, Snook, Flounder, Mangrove Snapper, Salt Water Catfish, Red Fish, Jack Crevalle. Might even get another on Friday.

The weather started getting rough- we fished on!
4 Hour Trip (AM) on February 22, 20253 adults
Cold, windy, chilly day, turned into a fun one. Captain Christian knew all the spots. If we weren’t catching in one spot he took us to another. Small mangrove snappers and sheepshead to begin with, later turned into massive Jack Cavale (Crevalle) giving us a lot of fight on the lights gear we were using. It was a lot of fun.
