Hi, I’m Captain Ty, a native of Key West, Florida, with a lifelong passion for boating. My boating journey began as soon as I could walk. I proudly served four years in the Army as an airborne infantryman. Now, I’m back on the water, creating unforgettable experiences with a diverse range of guests. Known throughout Southwest Florida as the “dolphin whisperer,” I hold a USCG Master 25 Ton captain’s license.
After my military service, I settled in Bonita Springs and became well-versed with all the prime spots from Marco Island to North Captiva. I’m easygoing and fun to be around, and many of my customers enjoy returning to spend more time on the water with me. I also offer flexible starting locations to fit your needs.
One of my recent guests, Tyler, shared how accommodating and patient I was, especially when working around a physical disability. I listened carefully to what mattered most for the day and used my knowledge to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience. We had a fantastic morning catching a variety of fish—at least nine different species—using several fishing techniques. My expertise extends to bait, fishing strategies, and local waters. Tyler and his group plan to book with me again. Don’t forget to ask me about my thoughts on pelicans!
Thank you, Regina, for your wonderful review. I’m thrilled you all had a memorable trip!
