Captain Tyler is a local in the panhandle and has been fishing these waters for 25 years. His family has always been into fishing – he has grown up fishing inshore, chasing Reds, Trouts, and Flounder, and always fishing the Cobia migration during the springtime in the Gulf and Flounder gigging and dock light fishing in the summer with great success. He always had the dream of one day running a charter boat, but decided that he would begin as a deckhand and a mate to get some experience in the charter business. During this time, he was able to work on several boats in different states across the US. For the last 10 years he has learned a lot from the best fishermen in the business. After thousands of charters as a mate, Capt. Tyler decided to take the wheel himself, and is looking forward to welcoming you aboard!

    Great Trip

    5 Hour Trip – Trolling • 6 adults • 1 child

    Boat was Great, good size for stability and comfertable to walk around and has a cabin with AC to get out of fhe sun and heat if needed. Captain Tyler was Great knew were the fish were and kept us on them the entire trip, from catching live bait to catching fish to throw on the ice. he even hooked into a shark but the line was broken off before we could get it in. First mate Allen was awesome, great explanations of how all the rigs worked how to drop the lines down and how to tell when a fish is on. he was all over the Place he kept all 5 of us baited up in the water reeling in fish. was an all around great trip and would HIGHLY Recommend them anytime if its your first time or you 50th time on the water. great outfit and great crew. will def fish with them again if we are back in the Destin Area next time.

    5 Hour Trip – Trolling - 1:00 PM • 3 adults

    If you’re looking for a fishing charter in Destin, stop searching and book with Captain Tyler immediately. This dude was absolutely on his game from the second we left the dock. We were hooked up nonstop and ended the trip catching some badass mahi-mahi and redfish like it was nothing. Captain Tyler knew exactly where to go, kept the energy up the whole trip, and made sure everybody was having a blast. Super professional, easygoing, and clearly knows these waters better than anybody. The equipment was solid, the boat was clean, and the action was insane. Hands down one of the most fun trips we’ve ever done. If you want a charter with great vibes, nonstop action, and a captain that actually puts you on fish, this is the one. We’ll 100% be back. 🎣🔥

    Great Experience! They live up to their name.

    6 Hour – Troll & Bottom Fishing • 3 adults

    This was my wife and 16 year old son’s first fishing excursion together. Captain Tyler and First mate Allen got us to some great locations. Their hospitality, attention to detail, dedication, and faithfulness to provide an experience to remember is second to known. They will be honest with you about what to expect and the types of fish that are in season. They will do their absolute best to exceed your expectations. Our trip was on March 25th. We caught several Vermillion Snapper, some large Grouper, a Toad fish, a Big Eye Toro, and 2 large Amberjack. We also caught a Shark on our way back! 🦈 I highly recommend this team. I will be fishing with them again soon and will recommend them to everyone I know planning a vacation to Destin.

    Just book it! You will not be disappointed. I have motion sickness and because of the size of the boat and the interior cabin it was a non-issue. THE NICEST GUYS!

    Captain Tyler put us on the fish right away and we had a good haul of vermilion snapper and red snapper. Alan was very informative on how to catch the fish and pointed out all kinds of different fish that we reeled in. It was a great trip all around and we will try to start making this an annual trip with them!

    We came from Kansas City and booked an Always Tight based on the reviews and we were not disappointed. Captain Tyler and Alan were awesome. Very nice and professional. The boat was very clean, has a bathroom and ac. We caught multiple amber Jack and king mackerel. We then hooked a massive nurse shark and pulled it in for over 30 minutes. Overall the best fishing experience we have been on. I would 10/10 recommend to a friend.

    The deckhand Allen was great! The captain Tyler was not as friendly. I fish mostly in Texas and Louisiana many times a year. And this was a first for me...

    First charter with our young kiddos (11,8,4,2). Captain Tyler and First Mate Allen where amazing. They run a very clean ship and took the time to work with our little ones as they earned their sea legs and fishing chops. We will be back!

FISHING IS HEATING UP!!!

Apr 14, 2024 • Destin
This was a 10hr trip on 4/14/24 targeting vermillion snapper and trigger fish. We also caught several HUGE red snapper, gag grouper and the first king mackerel in our charter fleet! Our most popular trips are 6hr family trips but when you go on our 8-12hrs trips it gives you the time to target larger species that are less pressured, you never know what you’ll see/catch!
