  Captain Steve accomodating and knowledgeable

  4 Hour Trip on July 18, 2026 • 4 adults

  We fished out of Flamingo Marina in Everlglades National Park amd it did not disappoint. Even though our day was not the best ckndjtions for fishing Captain Steve asked us what we wanted to focus on and tried hia hardest to acheive it. in the end we had much success. We caught an array of sharks from Black Tip, Lemon and Bull. We caught Snook, Snapper, Catfish and large Tarpon on the line several times before losikg them unfortunately. Saw Dolphin, Manatee and Saltwater Crocodile during iur trip. Overall a great trip. Captain Steve was not one to watch the clock, but more about our experience. Definitely recommend.

  Thanks, Dan! Hooking into Black Tips, Lemons, Bulls, and Snooks makes for an unforgettable day in the Park. You guys had multiple hookups with big tarpons, but unfortunately, they just didn’t want to stay on the line—we'll get 'em to the boat next time! You guys were a blast to host, and I’m glad I could show you what Tropical Tides is all about. See you guys next time!" Best regards Captain Steve

  Outstanding!

  6 Hour Trip on April 1, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  We couldn’t have asked for a better charter than Captain Steve! Fishing conditions were not ideal, nobody can control the weather. But Steve worked his butt off and was great with the kids. We caught some fish, explored the glades, saw a lot of crocodiles, a manatee, a large group of dolphins gave us an up close and personal show, and we caught 2 big a$$ sharks! The whole family LOVED our day with Captain Steve!!

  Thank you for taking the time to share your fantastic experience with me! im delighted to hear that you couldn’t have asked for a better charter. It’s wonderful to know that i made a positive impact, especially with the kids. Catching fish and two big sharks, as well as observing crocodiles, manatees, and dolphins, is always an incredible adventure! It’s experiences like these that create lasting family memories, and I'm so glad your whole family enjoyed the day. I appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable outing with me in the future! Best regards, Captain Steve Tropical Tides Fishing Charters

  Perfect day on the water

  4 Hour Trip on April 6, 2026 • 4 adults

  Our family had a great experience fishing with Steve! He was very knowledgeable about the Everglades and area wildlife and he ensured that we caught several different species of fish. Steve was very patient and thoughtful- teaching my kids and answering all their questions. We would highly recommend Tropical Tides!

  Hey Shane, Thanks so much for booking ! It was an absolute pleasure having Garrett, Bob, Lance, and Kyle out on the water. They were a fantastic crew to spend the day with, and we had a blast getting everyone on the fish. Honestly, having a group of friends like that who can get together, kick back, and share a day on the water is pretty rare—it speaks volumes about the kind of circle you’ve got. Man, it must be awesome to have such a solid group of guys in your corner! Tight lines, Capt. Steve
