About the Crew
Captain Tyler was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where a lifelong connection to the ocean began at an early age. Surrounded by a vibrant boating culture, Tyler naturally gravitated toward a career on the water and has since built a well-rounded resume operating both sailing and power yachts. His experience also includes serving as First Mate aboard larger luxury vessels, where he refined his skills in navigation, vessel management, and guest service.
Passionate about exploration and storytelling, Tyler spends his free time traveling, fishing, diving into watersports, and capturing his journeys through photography and video. His creativity and adventurous spirit shine both behind the lens and at the helm.
What Tyler enjoys most about chartering is the opportunity to create unforgettable experiences for his guests—introducing them to hidden gems, sharing local insights, and blending safety with fun to deliver a seamless and inspiring time at sea. His calm demeanor, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm ensure that everyone aboard leaves relaxed, recharged, and filled with lasting memories.

Guest Reviews
June 2026
Over the course of the week, we visited multiple islands throughout the BVI, each offering its own unique beauty and charm. The crystal clear water, stunning beaches, and unforgettable scenery exceeded all of our expectations. Every day brought a new adventure, whether we were swimming, exploring, or simply taking in the breathtaking views from the boat. The sunsets were absolutely spectacular and provided some of the most memorable moments of the trip.
This journey created memories that our family will cherish forever. The combination of beautiful destinations, perfect water conditions, and the exceptional experience aboard the Blackfisk made for an unforgettable vacation. We cannot recommend Captain Tyler and the Blackfisk highly enough for anyone looking to experience the beauty of the British Virgin Islands in a truly special way.

A huge shoutout to Captain Tyler Haley — hands down the greatest captain in the fleet! Tyler made the trip absolutely seamless, safe, fun, and relaxing from start to finish. His knowledge of the islands, attention to detail, and genuine care for our family made all the difference. He knew exactly where to take us for incredible snorkeling, beautiful beaches, amazing food, and unforgettable memories. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it shows in every part of the experience.
The BlackFisk yacht was phenomenal — comfortable, and perfect for our family adventure. Every day felt like something out of a dream.
If you are considering a chartered vacation, I cannot recommend Paradise Yacht Management, Captain Tyler Haley, and the BlackFisk yacht highly enough. This was a bucket-list experience for our family, and one we will talk about for years to come.

If there were a Michael Jordan of sailing, it would be Tyler.
My girlfriend literally had to drag me off the boat because I genuinely did not want to leave. The Blackfish and Captain Tyler will forever hold a special place in my heart. Without a doubt, he is the greatest of all time.
This isn’t goodbye… it’s just a “see you later.”

We had an incredible experience with Dustin and Josiah from Blackfisk, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Dustin’s professionalism stood out from the start—his deep knowledge of sailing and navigation gave us total confidence throughout the journey. Whether we were cruising open waters or anchoring in a quiet cove, everything felt smooth and expertly handled. Josiah impressed us all with his outstanding culinary skills; every meal was delicious, creative, and beautifully prepared. Beyond their individual talents, both Dustin and Josiah brought warm, welcoming, and genuinely enjoyable personalities to the trip. They created an atmosphere that was both relaxing and unforgettable. Truly top-notch in every way.
