CAPT. TYLER STUMP · USCG LICENSED

Built the hard way, on purpose.

Tie Lures Charters is built and run by Captain Tyler Stump, a USCG licensed captain based out of Crystal River. This isn’t a side hustle picked up on a whim. It’s a boat rebuilt from the stringers up, tested across Crystal River, Islamorada, and Stuart, with over a hundred hours logged before ever taking a paying guest out.

Whether it’s hunting redfish and snook in the backcountry, filling a scallop bag on the grass flats, or running offshore for mahi, the goal is simple. Put you on fish, show you real Florida water, and make it a trip worth booking again.

Tyler also works as a Realtor with Resolute Real Estate, specializing in waterfront & golf course properties across Florida’s Gulf Coast under Coastal Fairways. Buying a place on the water? Ask him about that too.
