About Your Trip

Escape to the crystal-clear waters of Key West with Tyler on a relaxing sandbar adventure designed for fun, sunshine, and unforgettable island memories. Whether you're planning a family outing, a day with friends, or simply looking for the perfect way to enjoy the Florida Keys, this trip offers the laid-back atmosphere that makes Key West such a special destination.

After a scenic cruise through the surrounding waters, you'll arrive at one of Key West's beautiful sandbars, where shallow, turquoise water creates the perfect setting to unwind. Spend your time swimming, floating, soaking up the sun, or simply kicking back and enjoying the incredible views. The calm, clear water makes it easy for guests of all ages to enjoy the experience, whether you're wading through the shallows or relaxing with your feet in the water.

One of the best parts of a sandbar trip is the freedom to enjoy the day at your own pace. Some guests prefer to float and socialize, while others spend their time exploring the area, taking photos, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. With plenty of space to spread out and relax, the sandbar provides a unique island experience that can't be found on shore.

As music plays and the warm Key West sunshine reflects off the water, you'll quickly understand why sandbar days have become a favorite activity for both visitors and locals alike. The combination of tropical scenery, clear water, and a carefree atmosphere creates the perfect escape from everyday life.

Tyler is dedicated to making sure your group enjoys a comfortable and memorable day on the water. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a fun way to experience Key West, this trip delivers the ultimate island vibe.

If you're ready for a day of swimming, relaxing, and enjoying some of the most beautiful water in the Florida Keys, this Key West sandbar adventure is the perfect choice. Come experience the sunshine, scenery, and laid-back lifestyle that make the Keys famous.

About Your Guide

Tyler S.

Independent Guide

Captain Tyler was born and raised in South Florida into a fishing family. From an early age Captain Tyler was on the water fishing, from the fresh waters of the Everglades to offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. With years of experience honing his skills and with a love of wild things and distant places Captain Tyler made the decision early on to spend his professional life on the water.

Captain Tyler began his professional journey by commercial fishing. Commercial fishermen make exception fishing guides as commercial fishing requires the ability to catch fish every day under every conceivable weather and water condition year-round. Commercial fishermen are the most versatile anglers on the planet and must command mastery of multiple skills for success. A perfect foundation for guiding.

Captain Tyler is equally at home fishing well offshore however his true passion is shallow-water light tackle angling. Making the move to the backcountry was a stellar transition earmarked by a steady stream of banner days and outstanding catches. Captain Tyler’s experience and vast knowledge of our immense backcountry waters and fishery aside, Captain Tyler is a “people person” blessed with an easy-going, jovial, personality. Captain Tyler enjoys aggressively pursuing the most elusive sport fish and predator species of our remote and distant waters but with a soft spot for family fishing adventures that result in “memories of a lifetime”. Few guides equal Captain Tyler’s enthusiastic energy and work ethic while keeping his anglers the number one priority.

Had an all day adventure with Capt Tyler today and it did not disappoint! Started off the day with a big Jack and I lost a tarpon too. Caught fish all day long and capped it off with 5 bonefish to finish up. I will book with Tyler again!

Added bonus, he's pretty dang funny!

We had an incredible day on the water with Captain Tyler! From start to finish, the trip was professional, fun, and action-packed. We landed a huge tarpon that put up an unforgettable fight, and we limited out on snapper with ease thanks to Tyler’s expert guidance. He knew exactly where to go and made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. If you’re looking for an amazing fishing charter, look no further—Captain Tyler...
