About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Tyler for an epic offshore adventure chasing the elusive Swordfish! Your Captain will start the day by rigging and prepping specialty baits for this trip prior to your arrival. A stop at the bait patch is also necessary as you will be fishing your way out to the deep water; for these Swordfish trips, you will head offshore up to 30 miles. On top of chasing Swords, you can also have opportunities for Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, and maybe even a Marlin on this trip as well. Once you get out to their swordfish spot, your Captain will deep drop one line then drift along the ledge for up to 1 hour at a time. Your Captain will make as many drifts as time will allow and you will fish our way back to shore. Swordfishing is a very patient process. But the rewards are well worth it!

For your trip, you will be aboard one of their 30' Dusky that gives you a first-class fishing experience off Florida's Atlantic Coast. Your comfort and safety are their highest priority, and they earn their stripes every day by making your catch the biggest haul back at the dock!

Captain Tyler will supply all licenses, bait, and gear! They will also provide a cooler and ice. All they ask is to keep in mind how long you will be on the water when bringing drinks and snacks! You can also bring an extra ice chest to take your catch home with you or have one of several local companies ship the fish home.

Fishing is Captain Tyler's true passion, and there's nothing he loves more than to be out on the water fishing. He likes taking people out and sharing the experience with them. Seeing the excitement on people's faces when they
land a good fish is something he enjoys the most. It reminds him of him when he was starting for the first time. "My dad taught me to fish when I was 3 years old. I have been obsessed ever since."

We had an amazing trip with Eric. He put us on the fish right from the start! Best fishing experience we have had. We will definitely be requesting him again when we return. He was super knowledgeable and had answer to every question. His passion for fishing really shows through making the experience even better!

At one point in the conversation with Tyler, he said it was not worth his time to take us out (2 of us),
although we booked a private boat with Captain Experiences. He only agreed after finding another client to ride along and share the expense. This was for an 11am trip. This change affected the entire plans we had for the remainder of the day, but there was no way to get our money back otherwise. Still no word from Captain Experiences at this point. Actual trip was a bust, only catching 2 Barracuda and hooking a shark. In Cancun we caught about 15-20 fish (Barracuda, Mahi, etc.) in the same time. I know there are no guarantees, but this haul was very, very weak. I will say that the crew (Tyler was not on this trip) was fabulous. Too bad they work for him. In the end, I will not utilize Captain Experiences again (we have previously) and will either book with another charter company or directly with an independent captain.
Response from Captain Experiences:
Hey Brian, we’re really sorry to hear about this frustrating experience. It’s clear that the lack of communication and last-minute changes from Tyler disrupted your day, and that’s unacceptable. We understand how disappointing it must have been to feel like your trip wasn’t valued, especially after booking a private charter. While we know fishing can vary, it’s even more frustrating when the overall experience falls short. We’ll be addressing this with Tyler and the team...

Captain Tyler took our family out for an afternoon excursion. The sport fishing was a bit soft, but Tyler put us on a couple of small game fish while we were hunting for monsters. The group agreed to move to the more shallow reefs, where we put upward of 30 fish in the boat over 90 minutes, including several keepers with meat on the bones.

Tyler cleaned the fish for us and
recommended a restaurant nearby that would cook our catch, which meant an easy and clean dinner for Mom! We had a great time with Tyler.

We were fishing in late December and the fish just were not biting. But he TRIED. Ended up catching maybe ten keepers. He offered a return trip at half price. And was super considerate when two passengers were sick. Returned to the pier to drop them off and then took the others back out to try again.
