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?

Half Day Trip with Captain Tyler

NEW

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

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.

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.
