Make some memories in Everglades National Park and go fishing with Keys Time Charters. Captain Tyler Marlow will be your guide, offering years of angling experience.

Species like Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, Tripletail, Jack Crevalle, Blacktip Shark, Lemon Shark, Mangrove Snapper, Sheepshead, Spotted Seatrout, and more can be found in these waters if conditions are right. For these species, you're likely to bottom fish using light tackle. Capt. Tyler also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear. For more experienced anglers, sight fishing is capt. Tyler's favorite style of fishing.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks – lucky for you, there will already be some on board!

Your excursion begins aboard an 18' Maverick flats boat with space for 3 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more. It's recommended to bring sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks for you on board.

Your trip with Keys Time Charters is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

    Great day with Capitan Tyler!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on February 28, 2026 • 2 adults

    Had an amazing day fishing with Tyler out of Flamingo. Hit the inshore slam (snook, redfish, and trout) in just a couple of hours. one of the redfish was the biggest i ever caught and one i will remember. Went with my cousin who wanted a full cooler (especially snapper—which we had 4 keepers in a matter of 10 minutes). Tyler is very knowledgeable about the area, knowing the best spots and conditions to fish. i grew up fishing flamingo and havent been back in over a decade. safe to say i will be back much sooner than that and will undoubtedly be calling tyler for my next trip. book with Capitan Tyler—you wont regret it!

    Home runs early and late!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on March 23, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Tyler was outstanding and offered to bring breakfast and lunch. We didn’t need it because we were on a catch and cook mission with my 13 year old. He did not disappoint helping us land a beautiful sheep head and larger red drum to bring back to Flamingo Lodge that cooked what we brought! Multispecies outing with lots we did not keep. Great service all around and highly recommend trips with Captain Tyler!

    Backcountry is the Perfect name for that trip

    3/4 Day on December 28, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

    That was a crazy trip! Tyler will get you in the backcountry for an amazing experience. The wildlife was somewhat unbelievable and we caught a lot of nice fish using different methods! Definitely go with Tyler if you want to do the Everglades.

    Half Day Trip with Captain Tyler

    on July 27, 2025

    Tyler took us out fishing in the Keys, and it truly couldn’t have been a more beautiful day. He went above and beyond bringing drinks, food, and plenty of water to keep us all comfortable. It was my first time fishing in so long, and he made it so special. He was patient, informative, and made sure we had everything we needed from bait to fishing poles. With all the shrimp I used, I ended up catching all kinds of sea life like grunts, snapper, barracuda, and even a bull shark! It was such an unforgettable experience something I’ll always remember, all thanks to him. I already can’t wait to get back out there again. If you’re looking to get out there for an adventurous and fun day, I highly recommend Tyler!! He is so awesome!!

    Full Day with Captain Tyler - Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, & Trout

    Full Day Trip on October 12, 2024

    I caught my first inshore slam (tarpon, snook, and redfish) in Flamingo with Captain Tyler. It was great to have a captain that grew up fishing the area his whole life. He certainly knew where the bite was this day. I lost count with how many fish we hooked. His boat was new and well maintained. It included plenty of dry storage which was great because it rained on our way in. Capt. Tyler was very easy going and made for fun and relaxing day on the water. He taught me fish patterns that were different from what I knew of fishing in Tampa Bay. He coached me on my casts and was very patient when I missed a fish (I missed a lot of tarpon). Next time I come back to Flamingo, I plan to book another trip with Captain Tyler.

    Fantastic Capt... Fantastic Fishing

    Half Day Trip (AM) on March 27, 2025 • 2 adults

    Tyler really was an excellent guide. He knows the fishing spots and knows his fishing. We are fresh water experienced with no salt water experience. With some advice and coaching from Tyler we were catching fish on the first cast. Highly highly recommend.

    Great Day with my son and Captain Tyler

    Snapper fishing on November 15, 2025 • 2 adults

    Limited out on mangrove snapper with a throwback little snook at the end as an exclamation point. Tyler was very attentive offering help and instruction when needed, as well as poling, sighting, dehooking, baiting etc. from time to time. His boat (a Maverick) runs 30 mph in a foot of water so that was a thrill in itself. There was plenty of bait, cold water and he even brought us a Publix sub. I'd say we likely caught 50 snapper between 6" and 13" and only kept 12" and above. Highly recommend.

    Doesn’t guide fulltime.

    Snapper fishing on July 29, 2026 • 2 adults

    We cast paddletails for five hours and caught 1 fish before he finally decided to use live bait and take us to a mangrove snapper spot. They weren’t huge fish but at least they were fish. So then we caught fish for a solid 45 minutes before ending the trip with more paddletails and no more catches. It definitely seemed like he was saving the shrimp for himself after we were done snd he went out and fished alone, or he didn’t want to unhook fish that long.
