Rising Tide Fishing Charters is here to help you experience the stunning waters of Key West. With Captain Reinier at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Fishing around here will often see you targeting Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Amberjack, Pacific Barracuda, Tarpon, Snook, Red Grouper, Cero Mackerel, Jack Crevalle, Lionfish, Lane Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Crab, and more with any luck.

Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, popping, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Reinier also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear. For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.

Families making of a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

Your excursion begins aboard a 22’ center console boat that can carry up to 5 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, 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.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water included. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Captain Rein and Rising Tide are the best on the rock!

Half Day Trip – Tarpon Fishing on August 10, 2025 • 3 adults

We had an incredible experience with Captain Rein. He was very personable and we were fast friends. Patient, understanding and kind, and alot of fun, Reiner was one of our top highlights of our boys trip and the best fishing charter I have ever been on! (4th time in Key West, sad I didn’t discover him sooner!) So many bad Captains in Key West and Rein defies the odds. If you wanna a good experience, book here. Unless you aren’t cool, cuz nobody messes with my man Rein! Thanks again man, we’ll see you soon! We’ll get Nemo’s killer next time we see you! Past being an awesome captain, we were able to hit limit quickly with his experience of the holes, and he ran his boat like an absolute boss. If it’s your first charter or your 50th, Reiner doesn’t disappoint.

Epic day!!

Half Day Trip – Tarpon Fishing on July 21, 2025 • 2 adults

The captain did exactly what we wanted, he showed up before we were there and had the boat ready to go, had extra bait and had all the equipment we needed. We were specific about what we wanted and he did everything we needed and more! We had a great time on the water. He put us on plenty of fish and even got us a trophy Fish of the day, which was epic! We were extended out there on purpose, and we had such a blast. We found plenty of fish and great snorkeling. Locations in the captain was very knowledgeable and super friendly, would definitely recommend this boat and this captain to anybody who wants a good time on the water! We will be back for sure!

Had A Blast!!!

Half Day Trip – Backcountry fish on June 15, 2025 • 2 adults

My wife and I flew in from Texas with 3 Carter trips scheduled. First one called the morning of our trip and cancelled on us unfortunately…. Fortunately Captain Ray saved the day and took our booking last minute. To say the least we had a blast and stayed on the fish. Even hooked up on a large Goliath Grouper on a sail boat wreck…. Bucket list check!!! He then hooked my wife up on a heavy Nurse Shark which was awesome!!! Definitely recommend for anyone wanting to hit the flats and back country!!!!

Fun on the Water, But Not the Tarpon Trip I Booked.

Half Day Trip – Tarpon Fishing on June 22, 2025 • 2 adults

Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, which made for a pleasant experience overall. We had a good time catching mangrove snapper and enjoyed being out on the water. However, there were a few disappointments. The listing stated that drinks, lunch, and snacks would be provided, but none were—just a few leftover bottled waters from a previous trip. Most notably, I booked a "half-day tarpon trip" specifically for the opportunity to fish for tarpon, but we never targeted them during our outing. While the trip had its highlights, it didn’t fully meet the expectations set at booking.

Like fishing with a good friend

Half Day Trip – Flats Fishing on August 19, 2025 • 2 adults

Captain Perez is a really fun and down to earth guy, he’s really knowledgeable of the area, fish’s habits, and anything between. He’s fun to fish with and has a lot to offer other than just where to fish. I highly recommend giving him a chance if you’re in the area and want a chill fishing session and some really great site seeing. He’s a great captain and a great person to talk to
