About Fishing Boat REEL TIGHT

REEL TIGHT is a Merritt 86 sport fishing motor yacht built in 2017 and hand-finished to the owner's exacting standards. Accommodating ten guests across five cabins (two kings, three doubles), she combines serious fishing credentials with comfortable cruising capability. The yacht features superior woodwork throughout, clean modern lines, and generous communal areas ideal for entertaining between expeditions.

This vessel is engineered for serious angling. A Furuno 360-degree sonar system identifies productive grounds with precision, whilst a rear tuna door and tournament-grade tackle (30 rods) support everything from deep-sea pursuits to day trips. An auxiliary 40 Invincible tender with 1400hp extends your range and offers nimble exploration of shallow bays and anchorages.

Onboard comfort includes air-conditioning, a well-stocked freezer and ice maker for fresh catches, full galley facilities, and entertainment systems throughout. WiFi connectivity and onboard water-maker technology ensure practical self-sufficiency during extended voyages. The crew—guided by an experienced skipper—manages all fishing operations, provisioning, and late-evening deck entertaining.

Highlights

  • Tournament-ready fishing platform with Furuno sonar, rear tuna door, and 30 rods
  • Five double cabins with five heads, accommodating ten guests in comfort
  • Dedicated crew skilled in fishing operations and Caribbean navigation
  • Flexible deployment across Bahamas, Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands, and beyond

The Charter Experience

Charter REEL TIGHT across the Leeward Islands, Bahamas, Virgin Islands, or extend to the Windwards and beyond. The yacht relocates seasonally to chase peak fishing windows, meaning your itinerary can be tailored to current conditions and target species. Days blend focused fishing with relaxation at secluded anchorages; evenings feature freshly grilled catch and Caribbean sunsets. The crewed charter model removes logistics from your equation, allowing full focus on the water and time with guests.

Suggested Itinerary

A typical week might begin in the Bahamas targeting deep-water species, then transition to the Turks and Caicos shallows for permit and bonefish. Anchor at pristine Leeward Islands bays, combining morning fishing sessions with afternoon leisure ashore. The yacht's tender enables exploration of remote spots inaccessible to larger vessels. Evening entertainment takes place on deck with grilled fish, Caribbean rum, and celestial views.
