    Amazing day with Capt. Tyler

    3/4 Day Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    Highly recommend booking a day with Tyler. He had us on fish all day, hit multiple spots and caught a bunch of different fish. On our 3rd spot, he let me get my bass fishing addiction play out by ripping jigs for mackerel and sea trout, kids were getting into them nearly every cast. We had a couple of kids, 5 & 8, on the boat, Capt was patient and helpful with them, very much appreciated and made the trip memorable for the four of us. Will definitely be coming back to S. FL with Born and Raised!!

    Reported catch:
    Goliath Grouper
    Jack Crevalle
    Speckled Trout
    Pompano

    great day and super helpful Captain Tyler

    Half Day Trip • 4 adults

    on short notice we booked with Tyler and his "born and rasied" boat. Was a great weather day. Tyler showed us the techniques and took us to more than 5 spots cause the tide and cool waters were not working to our advantage. Fun fact is we caught 10+ different species in one morning! Would book again and would recommend Tyler.

    I felt like we had been fishing our entire life.

    Half Day Trip • 1 adult

    It was nice just having two of us on board. The conversation flowed and time flew by. I would definitely do it again.

    Captain Tyler was amazing. We did a 6 hour nearshore trip and it didn’t disappoint. Captain Tyler had us on the fish every time we stoped at a spot. We caught over 50 fish during our trip. We even landed a Goliath grouper. He was very knowledgeable about the fish and very patient with my youngest son. We couldn’t have had a better captain for our trip. I highly recommend Captain Tyler and will certainly book with him again next time we are in town. Thanks again Captain!

    It was an awesome three hours! We fish for small fish and caught many different varieties, and then we went for larger fish. We didn’t catch any larger fish, but we did see a tarpon jump out of the water and take a spin. The best part about Tyler is his knowledge and love of fishing.

    We booked the trip while in Marco Island on spring break. We chose this guide for the 5 star rating and, received a 5 star experience. Tyler is honest, laid back and was great with the kids. He called prior to trip to let us know fishing wouldn’t be great due to the weather and asked if we wanted to reschedule. Due to our limited time here, we kept the tour and adjusted a bit to include a “scenic” boat ride with a shelling stop. At the end, we did catch about 10 fish including a pompano and baby black tip shark! Overall, a great 3 hr experience.

    Tyler was not.just a great fishing charter captain, he was just a great person and you can feel the passion he has for customer service. I highly recommend his service for anyone that want to have a great time fishing or just being on the water.
