Tyler is very knowledgeable and was very patient teaching my daughter how to fish while making sure the rest of us were having a good time. Felt safe, welcomed and had a great time. Now my kid wants to go fishing everyday, thanks again TylerPosted on Google![]()

Capt. Tyler really knows these waters. We spent all day catching redfish, snook and a little bit of grouper fishing to round out our 6 hour trip. Even shared his favorite recipe. This was a lifetime experience I'll never forget.Posted on Google![]()

The fishing charter was super fun! We caught over 40 fish on the 4 hour trip and visited multiple different spots to try. Captain Tyler was great very helpful and attentive, there was 5 of us and he was constantly helping to get the rods set up and helping to cast them out next to the mangroves. Then on the way back we spotted 3 dolphins and captain Tyler circled back to give us a look. 10/10 experience and a fun time!Posted on Google![]()

Tyler was great. He took me, my wife and 13yo son on a 6 hour trip. We caught a ton of fish and he was very helpful with everyone. He had quality fishing gear and was very knowledgeable of the area. We stayed on fish the whole time. We all had a blast and will definitely be booking with him again!! 100% would recommend AMI Charter Fishing LLC.Posted on Google![]()

Captain Tyler did an excellent job during our charter. We had several weather delays however Tyler was more than accommodating and did everything he could to ensure we had a memorable experience. He’s very knowledgeable about the area and fishing. We visited several different fishing spots during our trip and caught fish at each spot. Our 13 year old son liked the fishing charter and Tyler so much, he’s already asking to book a Spring Break trip! Book AMI Charter Fishing, you won’t regret it!
