Ratings & Reviews Summary
June 24, 2025
Captain Todd and his wife run a fantastic family business, and their customer service is exceptional. Their patience with kids and everyone on board is remarkable. From the moment the lines were cast during our six-hour trip, it was non-stop action. We caught 25 Mahi Mahi and 3 Tunas. In all my years of fishing in the Keys, I’ve never experienced such a great captain and first mate. Gettin’ Tight Charters is a must-visit for the fishing trip of a lifetime. Thank you, Captain Todd and Julie, for an unforgettable experience!

Captain Todd went above and beyond to accommodate our desired fishing date. When we arrived, everything was perfectly prepared, and we quickly set out on the water. As a family of five, we had a 9-year-old who struggled with the long wait for fishing, so Captain Todd let him reel in all the lines from the back of the boat. Our little one left feeling like a champion fisherman! We all had a great time, catching plenty of fish and even took some to a restaurant that evening. It truly was the highlight of our family trip.
June 24, 2025
Todd had us catching fish from the very first cast. We brought home a great haul of Mackerel, Yellowtail Snapper, and Yellow Jack, plus Mangrove Grouper, Blue Runners, a few big Barracuda, and a nice Grunt. It was far more fun and productive than we anticipated. Todd is an exceptional captain! After the trip, we relaxed at his home bar while he cleaned the fish. It was the perfect fishing experience!
June 24, 2025
Todd and his crew kept us on fish all day with nonstop action. He was quick to bait hooks and incredibly personable, even rescuing a rogue hat that flew off my head. They cleaned our catch, and it was the best fish we've ever had. My 6-year-old son declared it the best vacation ever. Enough said!
June 24, 2025
It was a tough day, but Captain Todd still put us on fish. He and his wife were incredibly hospitable, even comforting my mother-in-law during her battle with sea sickness. Captain Todd shared valuable techniques and knowledge, and answered all my questions. We can't wait to book again!
June 24, 2025
Captain Weston excelled at keeping us on fish despite some weather challenges. His positive attitude and skillful adjustments led to a great catch for our family. Professional and kind, we’d definitely fish with him again.
