Reel Tight Fishing Charters was re-established in December of 2016. The owner, Matt, ran charters for over 20 years inshore and offshore in the Sarasota and surrounding waters. During the 2009 BP oil spill, he left the industry and joined the Army. After completing a tour overseas, he returned to Sarasota to pursue his lifelong passion. Matt has years of running private yachts for high-profile owners which is reflected in his level of professionalism and cleanliness in his charter boat company. Even though Blue Marlin is his favorite fish to catch, Snook and Tarpon still give him the adrenaline-pumping action that made him fall in love with sport fishing. Let Reel Tight Fishing Charters show you how a professional program operates.

    Another great Fishing Experience

    4 timers fisketur - 13:00 • 6 voksne

    this is my 6th trip out with Reel Tight Fishing Carters, and 4th trip with Captain Andy. The kids (4-teenagers) always have a blast. as always Andy got us on the fish, however th fish had other plans. we did catch a couple trout and a ton of saltwater catfish whch are fun to fight and the kids enjoyed the afternoon trip. The extended faimly always waits until we are here to ask my wife and I to take their kids out. We like the morning fishing trips mre than the afternoon, but thats because we all end up napping everyday from beng on the beach or in the pool. I will be better prepared next year and book a couple moning trips early and if they don't want to go, well I know ours will.

    My wife and I were on our honeymoon for this trip. Our captain Andrew was phenomenal. He had us on fish all day long and navigated some hairy storms like a champ. We managed to catch snook, gag grouper, ladyfish, shark, mangrove snapper, 2 catfish species, and spotted trout. It truly was the highlight of our trip. Even had a visit from a curios manatee. Andrew also brought us out on his day off due to our previous charter getting canceled due to weather. We could not recommend this charter more highly.

    1st Trip of 2026 - Great Experience as Always!

    6 Timers Fisketur • 6 voksne

    This is our 3rd year and 5th trip we have booked with Reel Tight Fishing Charters. We already booked another trip for this week. We had Capt Andy and as always the group had a great time. With two adults and four teenagers on the boat he did a great job. Every spot we went we were on fish. We caught seven species: Trout, Snook, Flounder, Mangrove Snapper, Salt Water Catfish, Jack Crevalle, and a 3ft Bottlenose Shark. Highly recommended, except for the days I want to book, sorry not sorry.

    GREAT overall experience!

    4 Timer Morgen (2 Gjester) • 2 voksne

    We came all the way from Iowa, just my daughter and I alone. Neither of us having any experience in saltwater fishing and getting onto a strange boat, going who knows where, with a couple of men. That’s kind of unnerving to say the least. Captain Matt and Andy were so down to earth and made us both feel comfortable and welcomed. They kept a very clean boat and both were extremely knowledgeable! They took us from spot to spot ensuring that we both kept busy reeling in some nice fish. They took time to explain things to us and were so patient and kind. I highly recommend these guys and their crews! We have every bit of intention of coming back and fishing with these guys again!

    Come hell or high water we were going fishing!

    4 Timer Morgen (2 Gjester) • 2 voksne

    I took my husband to Florida to do deep sea fishing for his 50th birthday. We were so excited!!! Then.... a wretched cold front came thru with high winds (30 mph) for almost our entire trip. First time to Florida where I packed winter clothes. So bummed! But Reel Tight charters went above and beyond to make this happen for us! They rescheduled the day and time for our trip like 4x to get the best day for weather possible. It was sunny blue skies but cold! Low 30s. The weather had the fish acting crazy! We even saw a little shark where it had no business being. poor thing was just trying to survive. The tides were wonky too making the waters shallow. Being from WI, we tolerated the weather just fine. Our Captain was awesome! He tuffed it out like a pro and got us on the fish immediately! Due to the chop on the Gulf, the cold and the wind we were not able to go out on the Gulf. Next time! Still had a blast and my husband loved it! Great company! Great business! Great time! 10/10 would reccomend Reel Tight!

    We had a great trip. We caught a lot of fish so that always helps. However, I think we would have had a good time even if the fishing was slower. Our captain was very patient with us, and taught us how to be more successful fishing. We would definitely look them up again the next time we are in the area.

    We had an awesome time. We caught mangrove snapper, tarpon, snook, redflish, trout. Andy shared how to fish for the different species and the various places to put the bait and we had a blast. He is extremely knowledgeable of the area and really puts in the work to ensure you have a good time. Whether you've fished for years or are novice I highly fishing with him.

    We had a great time! Andy was amazing! We caught a ton of small fish. Nothing huge! But at the end of three hours, we were all wishing we had booked a longer trip!
