Why Choose a Tighten Up Charter

Booking a Tighten Up Charter connects guests with local captains and crew who understand reef structure, wreck targets, and sandbar conditions. The combination of included gear, licensed operation, and clear trip formats—half day, 3/4 day, and sandbar—helps anglers plan efficiently and choose the right trip for skill level, schedule, and target species.

Locations and Conditions

Trips operate out of Key West, Florida and may visit nearby reef and wreck sites or local sandbars such as Jewfish Basin and Snipes Point, with specific stops determined by weather, tides, and guest preference. The 3/4 Day Charter can travel farther offshore when conditions and preferences call for reef or wreck fishing up to approximately 25 miles.

Practical Tips

• Bring sunscreen, snacks, and drinks.
• Note departure times; some trips depart at 8 AM.
• Communicate target species and preferences when booking to tailor the day.
