Want to go on a breathtaking experience cruising the Florida Keys? Hold Tight Charters is just the place for you.

With over 15 years of experience, Captain Alexander Monteagudo is all about making sure you have a great time on the water. Our offers are flexible and you can customize your cruise so it best fits you and your needs. Fishing until the sun goes down or soaking up the sunshine on the beach, we’re determined to enhance your experience and make it all about you.

Their 25’ Sea Hunt bay boat is powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine. It’s also equipped with a GPS and VHF Radio, as well as a wireless trolling motor. Capt. Alex will make sure live bait and lures are provided. There’s a cooler and water available, and enough room for 6 anglers - perfect for bringing friends or family along. Children of all ages are welcome, just make sure you bring life vests!

You can expect to catch a variety of species in the rich waters of Florida Keys. If you prefer inshore fishing, where you’d target Grouper or delicious species like Snapper or Tripletail, they got you covered. If you’re more into the game, there’s a bunch of popular sport fish options: Spotted Seatrout, Snook, or Spanish Mackerel. The crew offers it all – light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, and spinning – it’s up to you. They also offer night fishing for species like the “Silver King” Tarpon or Snapper.

Want to keep your tasty catch after a successful day of fishing? The crew can clean it and pack it for you.

Hold Tight Charters’ goal is to make this trip all about you. Depending on your preferences, cruises are flexible to adjustments but the crew is also happy to suggest what they think would fit best. All you should do is bring some snacks and good company and the day is yours!

Alex is Fantastic
4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on October 12, 20251 adult1 child
My son and I had a great trip with Alex. The fish were bit biting at their usual pace, and he made sure we stayed out till we caught a snook, which both did. He’s got a great (and patient) demeanor that works for both adults and non-adults. We would definitely book him again, and we would also highy recommend him to others.

Had a Great Full Day of Fishing with Captain Alex! He put us on fish all day long and gave us great advice and techniques on the types of fishing we did. We caught several species through out the day. He cleaned our fish and gave us dinner recommendations on where to take it to be cooked. Ultimate experience overall and highly recommend!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on July 23, 20251 adult1 child
Captain Alex went above and beyond to ensure we had a great trip. He literally lost his sunglasses helping my son land a Goliath grouper wrapped in the mangroves. Great experience led by a knowledgable guide. Would recommend for beginners and experts alike, as Alex will put you on monster fish and have patience with kids/newbies.

Myself and 2 buddies signed up for 7 am, 4 hour trip. Headed out to the mangroves with a unbelievable sun rise and a mild temp. Captan Alex had us on fish the whole time. he's very patient with hungover old dudes. It was one of the best times we have had in along time. Great Captan, Awesome boat. Well worth it
