We came all the way from Iowa, just my daughter and I alone.  Neither of us having any experience in saltwater fishing and getting onto a strange boat, going who knows where, with a couple of men.  That’s kind of unnerving to say the least.  Captain Matt and Andy were so down to earth and made us both feel comfortable and welcomed.  They kept a very clean boat and both were extremely knowledgeable!  They took us from spot to spot ensuring that we both kept busy reeling in some nice fish.  They took time to explain things to us and were so patient and kind.  I highly recommend these guys and their crews!  We have every bit of intention of coming back and fishing with these guys again!

I took my husband to Florida to do deep sea fishing for his 50th birthday. We were so excited!!! Then…. a wretched cold front came thru with high winds (30 mph) for almost our entire trip. First time to Florida where I packed winter clothes. So bummed! But Reel Tight charters went above and beyond to make this happen for us! They rescheduled the day and time for our trip like 4x to get the best day for weather possible. It was sunny blue skies but cold! Low 30s. The weather had the fish acting crazy! We even saw a little shark where it had no business being. poor thing was just trying to survive. The tides were wonky too making the waters shallow.
Being from WI, we tolerated the weather just fine. Our Captain was awesome! He tuffed it out like a pro and got us on the fish immediately! Due to the chop on the Gulf, the cold and the wind we were not able to go out on the Gulf. Next time! Still

had a blast and my husband loved it! Great company! Great business! Great time!
10/10 would reccomend Reel Tight!

I live in Sarasota and have done multiple charters when people visit… but this was another level.  Captain Adam was not just a great guide, he is a great guy.  We laughed and caught fish all day.  All 4 of us agreed, we will never use anyone again.  What a great memory!  Seriously, stop looking, and book Captain Adam!

Never chartered a private tour before as a family (w/ 3 children), so we figured it was worth a chance to experience a very “fishy” time of the year near Sarasota Bay.  Our Guide Luke was super skilled not only in finding the fish but also baiting and controlling upwards of 5 active rods at once.  If a spot wasn’t producing a catch, Luke would be quick to identify it and we’d be on the move to another spot…we even got time fishing the mangroves and some docks.  The 4-hour tour flew by because it really was not-stop fishing.  Plenty of bites…and even had a few keepers by the end.  Meeting point was a breeze to get to, and Luke even prepared our catch before we departed the tour.

Would absolutely do it again!  My only regret is that we haven’t taken advantage of this experience sooner!
