I usually book 3-4 charters a year in the Naples/Marco Island area.  We have fished with dozens of different guides, Capt. Tyler and Born and Raised Charters has been the best!  Captain Tyler was personable, knowledgeable and very hard working!  He put on a ton of fish even under challenging conditions (cold air and water temps and a tough tide).  More importantly he made it a great experience for everyone on board.  His boat and equipment were top-notch.  Thanks again Captain for an awesome...

Had a great time fishing with Tyler. Took a group of 5 with an including 3 high school girls. I was a little nervous about the girls driving a guide crazy but Tyler was awesome. Very patient and entertaining for our group of amateurs. Definitely will use him again next time we’re in Marco.

We had a wonderful trip.  Caught 10 different species of fish.  Was able to bring some home to cook. We seemed to hook some fish at every spot we stopped at.  The day couldn’t have ended better we caught 3 very big redfish at our last stop. I highly recommend Born and Raised Charters, Captain Tyler was Great

Tyler was great! He is as stated, “Born and Raised”!  This wasn’t our first charter with Tyler and he never fails to disappoint.  He took us way back in the 10,000 islands for some backwater fishing in several spots.  He is laid back, great company and was great with our boys, and me (when I got my line stuck several times 😬).  He knows the waters, the spots, and had live bait.  Highly recommend supporting Tyler with your business.

We did a half day (morning) with Captain Tyler - and had the best time!!  We are from South Dakota and not very experienced with fishing.  We also have a 10 y/o who asks a lot of questions and has a hard time keeping a line in the water!  Tyler was extremely patient with him (and us) and took the time to explain how and why to do certain things and also recasted his line as many times as he asked him to.  We visited several different spots and had some luck at each one - caught dinner, a shark...
