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!!

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.

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!

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...

Great positive energy— and top notch guide. Tyler made a tough day of fishing (based on weather and tides) a fun and productive day.  He moved to the right spots at the right times. And he is a great human.  If he was open tomorrow we would book another trip. So much fun. My husband got a slam. He put us in the right place at the right time.
