As a dedicated charter captain, fishing has been Captain Noah's lifelong passion, dating back to his childhood. His devotion to the sport has driven him to pursue a career where he spends every day on the water. With a mission to showcase the wonders of the Florida Keys and ignite the same fervor in others, Captain Noah's enthusiasm for fishing is unmatched.
For those seeking an unforgettable fishing experience in Key West, Tighten Up Charters is the ideal choice. Captain Noah, though not originally from Key West, possesses extensive knowledge of the local waters, history, and fishing hotspots of the Lower Keys. His commitment to ensuring a successful fishing trip is unparalleled, and he is uniquely qualified to reveal the best the Keys have to offer.
The waters around Key West are renowned for a variety of species, including Yellowtail Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Black Grouper, Red Grouper, Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Cero Mackerel, Sailfish, African Pompano, Amberjack, and more. Depending on the targeted species, fishing methods may include spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or other specialized techniques. Captain Noah is also skilled in kite fishing.
Captain Noah welcomes families and is happy to have children on board. It is advisable to inquire about child-sized life vests in advance or bring your own. Guests are encouraged to bring snacks to keep their energy up throughout the day.
The charter utilizes a 28’ Contender center console boat, which accommodates up to 6 passengers. The boat is equipped with outriggers, downriggers, and all necessary gear for a successful fishing adventure. Rods, reels, tackle, lures, and live bait—caught at the start of the trip—are all provided by the charter.
Fishing licenses are included with the charter, so all that’s needed is a readiness for an enjoyable day on the water. Some fish species have specific regulations regarding their retention, so it’s wise to ask the captain about any such rules.
Guests should remember to bring sunscreen (non-spray) and sunglasses. While bottled water is provided at no additional cost, alcohol is permitted in moderation, but hard liquor and glass bottles are not allowed.
