Awesome trip with Captain Tyler and first mate Allen!  The boat was amazingly clean and these guys were meticulous in maintaining its cleanliness through the trip.  The equipment was top notch and they were fully prepared to go when we arrived a few minutes early.  I’ve probably been on 10-12 fishing charters and I’ve never had a first mate work as hard an Alan - he was on the go constantly.  We always had lines in the water whether it was trolling between spots or bottom fishing.  Captain Tyler knew where the fish were - we did quite well as evidenced by the pics!  Lost a few likely toothy critters (probably sharks) due to snapped lines.  I undoubtedly would use them again and highly recommend them!  I look forward to fishing with them again!

Great experience from beginning to end.  Boat is well kept and clean, but the real gem in this operation is the Deck Hand (DH).  From the moment we stepped on the boat, he was attentive, polite and never stopped working (8 hour trip).  From changing tackle to baiting hooks and retrieving fish, DH was on top of his game and made sure our family had the best chances at catching fish.  Captain regularly put us on the fish (30+ keepers) and even spotted a shark for us to pursue.  We finally hooked into the 7’ Dusky shark which took us 30 minutes to real in, what a great memory!!  All around a great experience - we’ll be back for sure.

This was my first try at a private charter. I had done the large gathering of strangers deep sea fishing. While cheaper it lacked many components of a great fishing trip. So at last the time had arrived for me to choose a private charter for deep sea fishing in Destin. While searching for the best of the best. I realized it ultimately comes down to the boat and the crew. So I was looking for a large boat that could handle waves, multiple engines (just in case), A/C indoor option (which turned out to be great for my boys when the waves got to them), bathroom, and equipment and rigs to be able to fish all variety of fish. Then all that was left was to find the best crew. Tyler and Allen are a dynamic duo! Very professional with safety as a number 1 goal followed closely with goal 2 of catching fish! Our trip was very flexible on what we were going to catch and it was amazing. As soon as we left the dock we had dolphin sighting, left the bay we caught sharks. Within 1 hour this trip paid for itself! Trolling we caught king mackerel, little Tunny, and one not big enough amberjack. Bottom fishing we got a bunch of snapper and a huge triggerfish. We left with bags of cut and prepared fish fillets and memories for life. I will definitely use this company again!

Unreal trip! Always Tight provided the BEST charter fishing experience I’ve ever had. Tyler and Allen (Alan/Allan) are excellent guides and really know the water. They kept us on top of (big) fish from the moment we left the dock to the moment we returned. They keep the boat incredibly clean and go the extra mile to ensure any fish you keep are fileted professionally (no bones, bloodlines, or sloppy cuts). No extra work needed! Just as importantly, they make you feel comfortable the whole time, making sure you have all the help you need to have a memorable trip.

Tyler and Allen rock as a team! Allen worked endlessly to get our group rigged up and ready to catch fish from start to finish. Allen also spent a large amount of time with each of us in our group to improve our catching efficiency and to keep us with bait in the water to target specific species. Meanwhile Tyler was able to evade the unwanted attention of dolphins stealing our fish. While our group was pulling fish after fish Tyler got us hooked up on about 6 ft shark which was a fun added experience. Their tirrless work ethic to provide a great fishing experience paired with the beautiful scenery and sunrise made a great set of memories.
