Always Tight Fishing Charters is a locally owned and operated private offshore charter boat offering professionally guided trips for anglers of all skill levels! Destin, Florida has earned the reputation as “The World’s Luckiest Fishing Village”, and you’re about to find out why! Captain Tyler Allen is a lifelong angler, having fished the waters of Destin and the Florida Panhandle for over 25 years. He’s run thousands of charters both as a first mate for other charter operations, and at the helm running Always Tight Fishing Charters. Capt. Tyler has the local knowledge and experience needed to put YOU on the fish! If this is going to be your first offshore fishing experience, don’t worry! Captain Tyler is an enthusiastic teacher and will work with everyone in your group to make sure they’re confident in the techniques needed to land every fish that strikes their bait. Your Destin fishing adventure starts when you board the Always Tight, a beautiful 33ft Gulf Stream sport fish. She was newly restored in 2018 and is powered by duel 250hp Cummins engines. Captain Tyler has invested in top of the line fishing equipment to ensure you the best chances of having a successful trip! These include Outriggers, Downriggers, a livewell, a Fighting Chair, and state of the art electronics. Her cockpit is spacious enough to fish a maximum of 6 anglers, not including Captain Tyler and his seasoned first mate! The seas, time of year, and your preference will determine which fishing technique we’ll be using! Always Tight Fishing Charters specializes in both bottom fishing trips, as well as trolling trips. Depending on how much time you decide to spend offshore, you may have the choice to bottom fish and troll on the same day! Each technique does produce different gamefish, but rest assured Captain Tyler will put you on the fish regardless of the technique. On our bottom fishing trips we’ll be fishing for Red Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, Vermilion Snapper, Triggerfish, Sharks, and other exciting gamefish! While trolling, Mahi Mahi, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Bonito, Blackfin Tuna, and more is what you can expect to find tugging on the other end of your line! Your trip cost for the day includes a seasoned first mate that will set the lines and help with anything else you may need. The price also includes use of Always Tight Fishing Charters’ tournament quality fishing tackle and a fishing license for all on board. Why read about the “World’s Luckiest Fishing Village” when you can find out on your own!

Unbelievable trip
Wow!! Never know what to expect when booking a charter boat. Always Tight, Captain Tyler and Cameron took all the uneasiness away. Put us on fish right away and the action didn’t subside until the lines were out of the water. We caught Spanish mackerel trolling, false albacore trolling, so many other species bottom fishing. My wife, our twin boys and I actually welcomed the break so that we could move to a new spot. We easily caught over 150 fish during our trip. Triggerfish, remora, mingo snapper, pinfish, squirrelfish, etc. just a blast. Thank you to Tyler and Cameron for sharing your knowledge, experience. Thank you for keeping it light and working with a family of rookies. We will be booking with Always Tight again and hopefully often in the future. Our lines literally were…..always tight!!!!

Will absolutely book again
I had never booked a private fishing charter before, but Captain Tyler and his 1st Mate made our first time a great experience from the pre-booking communication all the way through the end of our trip. I wasn’t sure which option to book originally as I wasn’t familiar with the styles of fishing and he recommended the bottom fishing trip based on what I had said was important to me - I told him I wanted my kids to catch a lot of fish as they’d been a few times back home but never caught anything on the lake. We started out our day catching more than a dozen Spanish Mackerel just inside the bay on our way out to the bottom fishing locations. Once we got out to our first location, it was non-stop action for the next couple hours with us easily catching between a 120 to 140 fish (the majority of which we released). We caught a good variety of fish including Red Snapper, Chocolate Chip Porgy, Red Fish, Trigger Fish, Grouper, Rock Fish, and a Sea Bass (I’m positive I missed a few types). Captain Tyler and his 1st Mate’s knowledge of the various types of fish and regulations about what we could keep was spot on. The boat and equipment are all very well maintained and they keep things clean as you go which is nice. After we got back in from our trip, he prepped, cleaned, and packed our fish up for us to take. They recommend a local restaurant which will prepare them for you nearby, but we ate them at a friend’s house. We’re already looking forward to returning in the near future for an even longer day on the water after an amazing first trip. We’ll absolutely book again with Captain Tyler again, no doubt.
