Born in west central Pennsylvania the water has always called my name. I started fishing as soon as I could walk and most other outdoor sports and activities soon after. I started my boating career at the age of 10 when my Father taught me the ropes of fishing. As a child, my grandparents used to take me down South throughout the years when we befriended a charter boat captain in Florida who made it a point to teach me everything he could about the game. After that learning experience, I began my own journey around Myrtle Beach, just as I once learned the freshwater fishing in Pennsylvania and saltwater fishing in Florida. It didn't take me long to start figuring out the wheres, hows, and whys in Myrtle Beach that let me catch my fair share of fish. I've always been a fast learner and my attention to detail helps tremendously with consistently getting us on the fish. I've spent and still spend countless hours researching and studying fish and their specific habits. This has helped me learn many great fishing areas quickly and efficiently. After the loss of my father and grandfather, who instilled the love of fishing in me, I decided to finally go for it and start Nauti Buoy Fishing Charters to share this love. While I may seem young for the job, I can offer you an unforgettable experience aboard the Nauti Buoy as we go after nearshore and offshore varieties of fish. I'm not afraid to teach you this game just as I was taught by a captain many years ago.

    Great trip!

    6 Hour Trip - 2:00 PM • 3 adults

    Water was a little rough, but we landed a sail fish within 20 minutes of fishing. It’s tough to top that afterwards but we caught 5 more keepers after that. We caught a total of 8 nice fish and saw a huge water spout. We had a great time and will definitely use Captain Tyler on our next trip.

    Reported catch:
    Great Barracuda
    King Mackerel (Kingfish)
    Spanish Mackerel

    Best Captain and 1st Mate!

    4 Hour Trip - 11:30 AM • 6 adults

    I’m so glad that I did a little research to find the perfect crew to take me and 4 friends out on the ocean. Not only did all of us catch fish but we made memories for a lifetime. Captain Taylor and 1st Mate Will are the best in Myrtle Beach! I have a feeling they will always remember our day out on the water. It was EPIC! We will definitely be booking them again the next time we come down.

    Reported catch:
    Spanish Mackerel
