Looking for the ultimate Key West fishing adventure? Join Tighten Up Charters with Captain Noah for the experience of a lifetime!
Your fishing trip takes place on a 28’ Contender powered by double 200 HP Yamaha engines. This vessel safely accommodates up to 6 anglers.
You can expect to target Yellowtail Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Black Grouper, Red Grouper, Dolphin (Mahi-Mahi), Blackfin Tuna, Kingfish, Sailfish, African Pompano Jack, Amberjack, and more. On Key west reef fishing trips, anglers often reel in snapper, grouper, and hogfish, while Key West wreck fishing trips target hard-fighting amberjack, powerful cobia, and even massive goliath grouper. We combine both trip types into one to maximize variety for our customers. Depending on the fish you’re after, you might be using different ways to fish such as trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or even kite fishing.
This charter includes everything you need, such as a fishing license, rods, reels, and tackle along with lures. Live bait is also included.
Captain Noah has vast experience and knowledge of Key West waters. He loves to have kids and families aboard. Our charters are great for both experienced anglers and beginners, offering fun and relaxation as you fish in these waters.

Awesome half-day trip—Noah got us on the fish immediately. My dad hooked a monster amberjack and we all had plenty of action. Can’t recommend enough!

Top-notch captain and boat. We used a combo of live bait and jigs and caught grouper after grouper. Captain Noah is one of the most patient and skilled captains I’ve fished with.

We did a half-day and still managed a huge variety of fish. Mutton snapper, a big jack, and even hooked a small sailfish that we safely released. Can’t wait to go back!

My second trip with Captain Noah and he always delivers. Reef fishing was on fire—we limited out on yellowtail and picked up a few nice tunas offshore on the troll.

Had the best time! Captain Noah had a full plan ready and we ended up landing snapper, black grouper, and a surprise mahi on the troll. Couldn’t believe how many techniques we used.

Captain Noah was fantastic with our group. We drifted wrecks for amberjack and then jigged up some nice African pompano. Excellent all-around experience.

Couldn’t ask for a better day out. Reef was hot with snapper and grouper. My husband got a sailfish on the kite rig thanks to Noah’s quick thinking.

The trolling setup was dialed in—picked up two blackfin tuna early in the day. Noah switched things up mid-trip and we ended the day with red grouper on the drift. Awesome variety.

Absolutely crushed it on our full-day trip—black grouper, kingfish, and even a dolphin (mahi-mahi). Captain Noah knew exactly where to go.
